[QUOTE="Rayder, post: 139663, member: 4226"] The way TPA works, I can understand Pro mode turning off every time. It goes back to the defaults to play competitively with everyone online to compare scores and whatnot. In Pro mode, your scores only matter locally and aren't uploaded to the leaderboards. As long as it saves the settings you do set when using Pro mode, I don't have an issue with it resetting to default and having to flip the Pro switch to get back to it. But if it forces you to set all that stuff again, something is wrong. While there are a lot of settings in pro mode that could drastically effect your table scores, and that's why it turns off online scores, and resets to standard mode every time you boot the table, there is one setting I wish you could set that wouldn't invalidate your scores. Some tables have a "family mode" setting. It just adds a little more swearing or raunchy comments during gameplay. The only two I know for a fact that have them in TPA is Elvira and Terminator. I'm sure there are more, but I only know of those two. I don't see why that setting would have any bearing on your table scores. We should be able to turn that on or off without being punished for using pro mode. [/QUOTE]
