[QUOTE="Jeff Strong, post: 19177, member: 3"] I complained about the flipper gap on Zen's forum before TPA came out, and they told me they weren't going to change it because they wanted their game to be easier for casual gamers. I'm glad we have two options, and I think it's perfectly fine to enjoy both....but it's also OK if someone chooses one game over the other, depending on personal taste. Some people like the cartoonish NBA Jam, but some prefer the realism of NBA 2K...just because they're both basketball games doesn't mean a basketball fan has to enjoy both......some people like the arcadey Need For Speed, but others prefer the simulation of Gran Turismo or Forza.....it's the same for pinball. I personally don't enjoy Zen compared to TPA, but it's certainly fine if others do or enjoy both. I'm just glad we have both options. In regards to your last paragraph, I don't really get the "magically floating around ramps" thing, but also don't be surprised if you play a real machine and notice that the ball is much harder to control compared to Zen. I could overlook the flipper gap in Zen if the ball control was more realistic, but it's just way to easy to stop the ball compared to real pinball. My wife had actually never played pinball before, and she started out on Zen since I knew it'd be easier for her. So when she tried out a real machine, the first thing she said was, "hey, why does the ball keep bouncing away from my flipper when I try to trap it?". [/QUOTE]
