Message: <blockquote data-quote="Animator_pin_fan" data-source="post: 33160" data-attributes="member: 96">You make some very good points Serenseven!I just thought I'd mention that after playing a real Monster Bash, that many of the shots that I struggle with in TPA are actually much easier on the real machine. Which points to the two major flaws with TPA physics thus so far, which have been discussed before on other threads: Randomness- on real pinball the ball is wild, but if TPA added a bit more randomness to kickouts and scoops, I believe it would seriously enhance the level of feeling like real pinball. Flipper physics- on real pinball it's possible to perform many cool flipper techniques that just simply aren't possible with the current tuning of physics in TPA. Two stage flippers are a start, but I think we'll all be happy when they finally enable all of the more subtle flipper physics like simple taps for bouncing the ball off the tip. And how cool will it be once you can do live and dead catches. With that said, I believe  TPA can only be as realistic as the flipper physics will allow. Pinball is a game of skill, however, right now TPA is a game of predictability with handicapped flippers. I don't mean that to sound harsh or nit picky, but the core of playing pinball revolves around having great flipper control, and until they revamp the flipper physics entirely, TPA will only just be a pinball video game rather than a true pinball simulation.</blockquote>
