I am only reading about Superpatch, but I still do not see him anywhere. I live in Spain, Is that still has not been published in the European store?

Not yet I'm afraid, we're still waiting on the "Super Patch" and the first two season 3 tables, on both PS3 and Vita, here in the EU.

So, after spending quality time with the game post-patch, I can't tell anything different on the following tables: Ripley's (other than the visual ball glitch), ToM, BoP, CV, Funhouse, Harley, Taxi, Gorgar, Black Knight, Black Hole, Genie, Monster Bash, Elvira. Is it like that for everyone else? These tables were fine for the most part, so I assume they weren't touched (at least not that I can tell).

Fixed are: ToTan (graphics), MM (performance), Creature (performance), ST:TNG (graphics), Twilight Zone (graphics), AfM (graphics), Scared Stiff (both), Big Shot (graphics), No Good Gofers (performance).

I disagree on CV, BoP, BK, and Gorgar.

CV is much sharper and more colorful on the playfield. Gorgar got a lighting adjustment. I'm not 100% on BoP, but I think the zig-zag return lane thing is transparent now, and the contrast was improved(as I feel it was on most tables). Rollovers are animated now as well, which is a small improvement, but increases realism on all tables.

I think some of the changes are small, but in all cases improved the tables.

Got a newsletter in my mailbox about the patch and the new tables. But what is the sense of that when you live in Europe? Maybe someone from farsight can answer this and tell us when we get the patch and new tables?

From a post on the PS3 page, by a guy that asked over on the EU PS blog:

"maezun (10 April, 2014 @ 4:38 am):

@Jawad – Just wondered when the new table packs for Pinball Arcade will be available? They were released on the U.S store last week but they’re still not on the U.K store. Also, the elusive ‘mega patch’ for Pinball Arcade was released last week in the U.S but it’s still not available in the U.K. Farsight (the developers) are saying that SCEE are the ones at fault. If you could look in to this it would be much appreciated. Thanks :)

Jawad Ashraf (10 April, 2014 @ 10:14 am):

The new DLC is currently planned for next week. Check back next week to be sure, though."

According to their blog ( http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2014...eborn-fifa-world-cup-brazil-dead-nation-vita/ ) it should be next week:

@Jawad:

Another week, and STILL no Season 3 tables for The Pinball Arcade on either PS3 or PS Vita, not to mention the so-called “super-patch”?

The American’s have had this content for TWO WEEKS now, last week you said that, and I quote:

“Jawad Ashraf (10 April, 2014 @ 10:14 am):

The new DLC is currently planned for next week. Check back next week to be sure, though.”

What is going on over at SCEE Towers!?

At this rate, I may as well pick up TPA on Xbox One in June with all the Season One and Two content, and be done with it on PS3 and Vita.


Jawad Ashraf16 April, 2014 @ 4:11 pm

These have been pushed back once again. I don’t have any details to give but they have been rescheduled for next week. Check back next week to confirm. Sorry for the delay in getting the new tables out there.


I'll believe it when I see it.

Well, it seems I cannot have pro mode for Medieval Madness. As soon as I install the Medieval Madness pro upgrade, then Bride of Pinbot and Medieval Madness will go into the never-ending upgrade loop. I've tried through the PS3, through the UI on the Vita and through the download list, As soon as I upgrade, then the upgrade loop starts when I try to play BoP or MM. Even attempting to manually install over it will not fix it. Completely re-installed TPA 3 times with the same exact result. Finally on the 4th attempt I just didn't upgrade MM to pro and then it's fine. Just no pro mode for MM, that;s all.

I did get the PS3 all squared away 100% though, so that's at least one good thing.

At this point, I give up on the Vita version until they release another patch to fix the upgrade glitch. I have all 3 seasons installed, all upgraded to pro and with the ball packs and all that, just no pro mode for Medieval Madness. It's a little annoying because I like to kill Family Mode, but I'll tolerate it for now.

I read through your post and I'm going through the exact same thing you are currently with the Vita version. My PS3 version worked just fine for some reason. I'm not willing to uninstall and reinstall to lose everything. Some of those wizard goals were really tough for me. This is why there are certain trophies missing from my Vita version. I wasn't willing to lose everything to get the goals again.

You're right though....we'll have to wait until they release a patch to fix the glitch that's happening with trying to upgrade the tables. Dr. Dude looks and plays awesome now. I love it! I just can't get BoP, Going Nuts, etc (same as you) to upgrade. It sucks!

Just seen this on Facebook:

The Pinball Arcade The megapatch, according to Sony Europe, is set for either the last week of April or the first week of may. Sorry for the delay.

Another week or 2 (or more) to wait :(

Is it just me or does the game drain the battery faster post patch? Makes sense since the graphics are better. Not a complaint, still drains it less than most games.

Not that I noticed, but then I had ditched the game for nearly a year before that.
I haven't played it again since you let me know the TotAN bug is still there.

I almost deleted it again.

You can always play that table in landscape, then it's fine. The other wizards I reached are fine. Monsters of Rock glitch happened only once, and only when all the balls drained simultaneously. Still buggy all around in portrait, but ToTAN is the only game breaking one.

FYI the store has updated and there's no DLC and no title update. (and no PS4 DLC either)

The Playstation.blog says about it: This is currently with our guys and the publisher. I haven’t heard anything else on it, sorry.

So it seems that we have to wait some longer and no information yet about when they will find out that people in Europe play games also. Unbelievable that it can take that long when there are no technical barriers. Cross fingers for next week.

Yes, it's also on the PS3

Also on some tables the touch screen controls randomly pop up usually after pausing or restarting:

I'm still very happy with the improvements in the patch, hopefully these issues above can be patched easier now. (Looking forward to seeing the MM/PoB tables when the PSN store's been sorted)

Also the sound settings don't save, they return to the default settings when the game's restarted
