What table was better than you expected?

BK2K. I played a bit of BK before I got Season 3, and didn't really get on with it, so I wasn't all that pumped for BK2K with its very similar layout. It very quickly became one of my go-to games, and also helped me learn to like BK a bit more too. Love it.

Never understood the people that claim BK and BK2K are very similar. The lower playfield is similar, but the upper playfield (half the board!) is completely different. For one, there is only one flipper so makes it incredibly difficult to keep the ball up there for very long. Completely changes the flow of the game.

Plus the soundtracks. "BABABA BEE BEE BEE BEE" over and over, against the rocking cheesy 80s rock.

That's weird, because I can't keep the balls up there no matter what I do on BK, but it's extremely trivial in BK2K.

Agreed. They don't even have the same number of flippers! They're no more similar than AFM and MM. BK2K's upper playfield is actually more like No Fear or maybe Whitewater.

The key difference for me is you can trap on BK but can't on BK2K. So all shots need to be on the fly. And yeah, makes it similar to WH2O. That leads to a very different upper playfield.

The real pinball machine was ultra expensive, like 5000 $ and had some scratches on it so I totally gave up buying it

The digital table in TPA is just amazing.

Gorgar & Flight 2000...they don't look great, play well. Better than a few new ones.

Black Rose.
So fun.

Black Rose. And that's the demo version has I have yet to get any tables in Season 3. The only other tables worth noting in Season 3 is probably Diner, High speed and Black Knight 2000. The others I'm not overly impressed with. I will most likely pick up the season pack as each table is $5. if the next table is indeed Dracula, I might just get season 3 as a whole rather than spending $50.

Very glad to hear there is a lot of love for my all time favorite table Flight 2000. See, I knew some of you guys would come around to love it too. I am so damn happy that table was made already.

I would have to say Centaur and High Speed. I had never played either prior to release. I was skeptical of them. I love Centaur. One of my favorite tables now. Took me a few times to get into High Speed. First few times I didn't see the attraction. But after a few games on the cab with all the lights flashing, it kinda grew on me. Now I tend to hit both those tables if I only have time for a few games.

Black Rose. I have never played it IRL and I hate anything that has to do with pirates, but I find this table to be the most fun of everything from season 3 (that is currently available on PSN).
