[QUOTE="pseudokings, post: 123366, member: 612"] I'll try the Dynamic Range off, and Game Mode on combo and see if it works for me, but it's still a pain and a disappointment to have to, as those settings changes are not ones that I can just live with for everything that plays on my TV just for the sake of TPA. As to the rest of your post, I do see some bug fixes and other small improvements, and I do appreciate them, though it is worth stating that it's all stuff that should have been that way from the get-go. I do really like the "Dark" room lighting option, but it also is the only one where the work they did on the lighting is going to be noticeable to a casual player, and dramatic for the real player, making it the only one worth using. I, like several other folks on here, own a (real) pin, and have played the real versions of a majority of the tables in the game, so I know what I'm talking about, and there is nothing "perfect" about any of the tables. That's okay, BTW, because recreating anything real in a digital space is extremely difficult, and I do believe that from a play standpoint FS does better than anyone else in the digital pinball game, hands down. I love TPA. But that doesn't mean that it is all it can be by any stretch of the imagination. Where's the playfield shine? Where are the photo realistic textures that PS4 is easily capable of? The lighting is very good, the room lighting option is finally here, the tables have had some bug fixes done - that's all good - but the textures are the underwhelming same (look at the plastic under the CFTBL ramp by the left side Snack Bar targets), the 3D polygonal stuff is still very primitive, and the ball is a little too slow most of the time (amongst other things). And then there is the audio. Hopefully they'll fix/upgrade all of this, the already good, and the still pretty bad, over time, but one glance at Knack, Killzone, ACIV, NBA2K14, says there is incredible room for (especially visual, and lag removal) improvement.
