So of course I'm excited AF to play it, yes, I do go and play it when I can - to show support so that they could introduce more tables in my arcade, but one of my peeves is that I think the table really needs maintenance.I think the slope is not correctly adjusted (slow game), it doesn't play as fast as what I've seen people stream online (a lot of side to side movements and prone to outlanes), no regular cleaning of the playfield, no attract mode, ticket dispenser mode on, no extra balls, no high scores initial allowed, no score replay or even match sequence. To be honest, I'm quite annoyed at what could have been a better experience for a pinhead like myself. Also I think the flippers may be weak, maybe it's due to the bad Stern coil stops I read about, those on-the-fly shots really don't have power - like hitting a return orbit shot on the fly, it's just so WEAK, or maybe I ain't doing it right. From what I could deduce based on the French rule card that is on the apron (apparently it's also signed by someone in silver marker), it could have been a reimport, hence the bad flipper strength/damaged solenoids/coil stop due to heavy use, basically it's not NIB.Maybe I should talk to the manager there about maintaining it, because my emails to the arcade has gotten no response whatsoever. If this keeps up, I doubt they'll be making money from those tables. People just play it once and walk away, while I drop dollars and dollars when I go there.</blockquote>
