I think strong pop bumpers add more fun to pinball.

But, each to his own.

Strong? Yes.

Seizure inducing pop bumpers? Not quite.

In HRC:
I got a Roll'n Win when two balls are locked in Slot Machine, and two balls are released once.
Is this a designed work or a issue?

I don't think I've ever noticed! I'll have to play it today.

I was talking about my *real* taxi. In TPA, the bumpers are severely underpowered compared to the real thing. In TPA, a Santa-off-left-pop-bumper shot occurs once or twice a game, it's quite common. It rarely, if ever happens in TPA due to the weakness of the pops. I would say they are about 60% as strong as they should be?

In other words, HRC's pops are more accurate to my experience IRL, and I wish they would tune the rest of the tables accordingly.

Perhaps the tables are tuned this way to reduce the amount of random drains off the pop bumpers. Ever tilt a machine out of sheer frustration?

Is there any *other* reason to tilt a table lol?

The two things I truly miss from "real" pinball in TPA are ball spin and real, honest to goodness pops. The difference between a new/rebuilt pop bumper and an old, tired one is very noticeable.

Amen to that, we need stronger pop bumpers in TPA.

It's a virtual table with virtual components, it's not like it's going to cost them more money to increase bumper strength.
