[QUOTE="kristian, post: 115511, member: 3734"] I was involved with over 50 Visual Pinball table recreations and I guarantee that things like increased slope and flipper length alone play a huge role. It requires a lot of testing and playing to make a difficulty level that's challenging without being frustrating and unfair. But it's definitely possible with TPA... like I said, the tables play really well [b]fundamentally[/b]. It's all about small tweaks now. And I totally agree about the ramps "sucking" the balls in... ramp shots are way too easy on many tables... CFTBL especially. That doesn't seem to be the case with T2, for example. It's pretty tough table in every way... and really well thought difficulty level. Some tables also have too powerful flippers which literally catapult the ball to the ramps. Especially some older tables like Black Knight... which is (imho) the worst recreation of them all. The bonus multiplier "horseshoe" is also ridiculously too wide and easy. I'm not sure if a separate difficulty level is necessary. Just simply make the tables harder with increased slope and some small tweaks with outlanes, etc... that keeps the interest much longer. After doubling the Grand Champion score on your first attempt is really demotivating. [/QUOTE]
