Why is real pinball so much harder than TPA?

[QUOTE="Jay, post: 22012, member: 504"] I agree with others about the Farsight implementations: they're perfect pinball, which makes the tables predictable. Even the bugs are predictable! But the real world is messier. Slight imperfections in a table surface, improper flipper adjustments (even by a few millimeters), air time and hitting the table glass (which never happens in Farsight games): all of those are part of real pinball. Even on a mint condition table, solenoids don't behave the same each time. It might be fun to have an option to "dirty" up the tables, to make them behave a bit more erratically. That said, I'm enjoying PA because it makes me feel like I'm a much better player than I actually am. ;) [/QUOTE]
