[QUOTE="Rudy, post: 89622, member: 1233"] Right now the presentation is just about right, sure the menu could do with a few tweaks but I don't think an announcer calling out names would benefit TPA in any way. As for the intro movie... that's a lot trickier than you think. P:HOF worked because they knew how many tables there were in the game so could do an intro based around them, with TPA it's a moving target and even if say, they made one for each season, they'd still need to update the animation every season and that's a lot more work than just sticking the table models through an animator. I like the simplicity of TPA, no intro movies for publishers, a really minimalistic developer screen (on the ps3 and 360) and nothing at all for android/iOS. You just press play and you're at the menu just about. What WOULD be nice is some sort of playlist option, where you can queue up a bunch of tables in a row with specific targets like the Williams challenge, but the problem with that is that there's no definitive table option. Everyone has a different combo of tables and it'd really suck the fun out of things if you were halfway through a mode and suddenly "buy X table to continue". A custom playlist would be great, but without set goals there's nothing that you can do there that you couldn't just do by playing regularly. [/QUOTE]
