[QUOTE="xZOMBIEx, post: 279096, member: 6699"] Yeah, one of the issues I had in particular with the AC-DC table on Stern PBA is that it's one of those tables that is hard to get looking right, it's either to bright that the colors seem to blend or bleed and washout other colors or the led lights that blink or come on and off or it's to dark that you can't really see the table art and you end up having an even harder time seeing the ball... Again that's on the Stern PBA version... I almost like the brightness on PBA but it definitely could be toned down a little bit... If anything the brightness that is at now should be the max setting and allow us to turn it down from there... I know I've tried asking for a whole new version of PBA, like a version 2.0 and I get that it might not be possible to keep all the same tables, especially the Williams ones with a name change of the main game, BUT, what about making a new version without changing the name? Everytime there is an update/patch, the number version changes, could it be possible to just do that with a better, more improved version that takes advantage of current gen consoles? You would think with all the problems that people report, complain about, etc... That would have been one of the biggest things they would have tried to tackle and just do it instead of just using the bandaid fixes that ends up wearing off when another bandaid fix in implemented... I'm pretty sure there is a good amount of people that play on consoles, it's just that a lot of them may not know where to go to report issues or problems. A lot of them could be new customers that never knew the was a better looking and better playing version of these tables and don't realize that they have gotten worse within the last couple of years...

It's kind of sad that we have to go play these tables or some of these tables on either last gen consoles like the 360/PS3 or on Stern PBA version just to be able to play a better looking or better lighting on tables and or better physics...
