Bowen talks in the tutorial about the player who did it, and said "even if I do get there, all the props go to ____ because he did it in the lights and stage of PAPA (tournament in front of people, pressure etc.)On a table set up like that yea.  But on a factory set board you can get away with quite a bit, which is welcoming for non expert players.  Only the top 1% of even digital players can really keep the ball away from the outlanes, for everyone else they need the help. At the end of the day I don't see astronomical scores on digital, and that suggests that the difficulty is right where it should be.  On Xbox the scores are higher but that's IMO mostly due to the very lax tilt settings more than physics.I hear ya.  As an option, sure why not.  I'm all for options.  Being able to jack up the difficulty by messing with the factory settings, removing rubbers, turning off extra balls, moving the outlane posts would be pretty fun.  But I don't know about messing with the physics and collision meshes.  Cirqus Voiltaire on 360 is a great example of bad difficulty on a digital game.  Outlanes are a complete dice roll with no way to save yourself.  Might as well be set to extremely hard the way it handles drains.  On a real CV you'd be able to nudge and the ball wouldn't behave the way it does.</blockquote>
