It is (poor) game design, and Zen and Zaccaria have this as well.įriction modeling should be different from one era to the next. I don't like vacuum helpers in plunger lanes or ramps either, but that isn't just physics modeling.

For example, on tables with upper playfields, the ball always seems to roll down the inclines/ramps leading to said upper playfields in exactly the same speed and direction, where those should vary depending on how the ball was moving as it entered the exit ramp.īall movement, Have you ever actually played a real pinball machine that wasn't a brand new Stern made in the last 5 years? Seriously go watch some (non competition) videos of the EM and SS tables that are in TPA, the ball behaves as it does in real life.

Pre-set spots where the ball seems to always behave the same way, where there should be variation. Especially noticable on the flippers, ball handling feels off and you can't pull off nearly all manouvers you should be able to do. Friction modeling: it feels as if differing friction qualities of different materials aren't quite modeled right. "vacuuming ramps" - noticability varies from table to table, but on some you can clearly see how the ramps are made to have a certain point, upon reaching which a ball gets sucked up to complete the ramp shot. weirdly floaty ball movement, they don't feel like steel balls with proper weight ? Care to give some quantifiable examples of this, or is this just you parroting what you may have read on pinside 5 years ago?
