Why is real pinball so much harder than TPA?

[QUOTE="brad, post: 22200, member: 702"] This is what i do and i definitely enjoy the real thing more than the sim, even if i have terrible games, its only 3 plays for a buck or whatever. I can get in a good hour for a little over 5 bucks. 2 options to get a free game, replay and match, extend playtime. At the same time i love TPA, cuz i can throw it on anytime home, work, hospital, grocery line, beach and get a quick fix or play for as long as i have. The "instructions" on TPA are worth the 2.50 alone! They are really easy to follow, all they need to do is add voice (which is planned). You can take the important knowledge of how to play a table to the bowling alley or pizza joint or expo. Being able to pull off what you know is another story and takes practice, but thats fun anyway! Like you guys said crazy kids screaming, bad lighting, dirty machines, broken machines, real life unpredictability, learning to really nudge, all make real pinball more challenging, so... Get into the zone and block out the screaming, clean the glass, ask to turn off the annoying bar of light across the table, call the vender and tell em whats broken, keep nudging til you get better, practice and have fun. Relax and keep the quarters comin' and support the silver ball. Cuz if you don't, maybe all we'll have is a simulation on a tv screen, and as good and fun as it is, that...would be a shame. [/QUOTE]
