Do the seasons ever go on sale in Google Play? I bought a bunch of my old iPad but now mostly use Android devices and not looking at spending a ton for the seasons again.

Does anyone know if it's possible to buy the pro version of a Pinball Arcade table a la carte on Steam? The in-game 'buy table pack' option goes straight to a $4.99 price, which I assume is the non-pro version, and the DLC menu in Steam only shows the season packs.

Go into the list of tables in-game, like you're going to play. Scroll to the desired table, if the pro option is available, it will have a button that says 'Go Pro Buy Now'. It will give the price to upgrade to Pro, it should be $3.99 to upgrade.

What's the difference between pro and non-tables? I got the Season 1 pro pack during the sale, but I don't have anything to compare it to. Is it just table options? And doesn't your score stay off the leaderboards if you mess with the settings?

And doesn't your score stay off the leaderboards if you mess with the settings? It's mostly just table options, yes. Specifically, being able to go into the Pro Menu and mess around with the table settings. There's also a protip section that describes a few ways to get a really high score and a 'look around the table' option that isn't that great. And yes, you can't get on the leaderboard if you activate the operator settings.

The spot welds on my TAF chair scoop are broken. One of them looks like it was misaligned when it was manufactured. Think I can find someone to weld this for me? A new one from Marco is $64. Structurally, it's still sound, it's just a little sloppy left to right, and I had taken it apart because it had been occasionally kicking out balls right down the drain. I can't think of a kludgey way to clamp it without interring with the ball path.

Unscrew it and take it to a metal shop or car mechanic and they can probably weld it together for you.

My strategy of "Hope everyone else does worse than me" in a tournament finally paid off and I took first place! Few things feel better than taking home a cash prize undefeated in the pinball scene. I did not have my best games because I still get my tournament jitters (and have finally resolved to avoid using my single-player game strategies to get on the leadership board - just go for easy points and safe shots that I can recover) I brick a lot of shots I could normally make by my lonesome. Competitive pinball playing stresses me out.

VV It does feel like it, at least from my trial playthrough. I've done some live catches, mostly accidentally, and that wasn't really something you could do with the old physics. The ball feels more like a real ball in Road Show. King Vidiot fucked around with this message at 14:52 on Jun 30, 2015 |

Does the new Road as how table for PA use the new physics? It's the one thing keeping me from buying the new stuff. The ball handling actually seems better, but I would want it on all the tables!

The PC guy on the forums said that all new tables from now on should always include the new physics, and that they'd announce it when and which older tables start getting it. I guess big shot was the exception there because from what I hear it already has the new physics.

Yeah that table clearly has new physics, and it's a lot easier to roll the scoreboard as a result because the ball isn't flying around everywhere all the time now

The rest though are definitely in the lower tier, though I often find myself going back to Victory frequently. I'm surprised this doesn't have Lights Camera Action, but it looks like everything is seasons 1-2.

And then I noticed the line-up. But I soldiered on, played some Space Shuttle and Tee'd Off and did mediocre. Then I went to the leaderboards out of curiosity. The top scores (not "scores" as in actual table scores but the Farsight point system) were something like 600-700 points, meaning they pretty much maxed out the amount of points you could get per-table. The actual table scores were a billion or so per table, on like all the tables. gently caress the playerbase for Pinball Arcade, goddamn

Well the new physics should be in the new tables form here on out (they are in Roadshow) so picking up new stuff should be OK. But I agree with your statement about the older tables. Once some of the tables I like get updated (namely ToM, T2, Centaur, AfM and TAF) I will probably seriously dive back into playing TPA again.

Spooky Pinball have announced their first licensed table: "Rob Zombie’s Spookshow International". The table will be limited to 300 units (50 of which will be limited editions), and will feature artwork by Alex Horley (Various Fantasy Art things, Rob Zombie album art), toys by Back Alley Creations (various mods, toys and custom pinballs), voicework by Zombie and Sid Haig, 10 Rob Zombie songs and a bunch of references to his films. No photos of the actual table yet, because the art package apparently isn't complete yet. They're aiming to ship in January. I have never seen any of Spooky's tables before, but apparently they have a decent rep?

Of all the boutique pinball shops (e.g. John P's Zidware, the guys making Predator et al) they're the only ones to actually ship a finished game. Those other two pretty much took people's money and ran. I played America's Most Haunted, and it was neat. It didn't make a huge impression on me, but it wasn't bad.

I think the only other table they did was America's Most Haunted, which is kinda ugly in a Stern way but some people in the thread seemed to like? I had zero interest in the theme of AMH but I still kind of like Rob Zombie, so I'm interested to see how it turns out.

Weird, I could've sworn it was a licensed table but the only thing I could find on America's Most Haunted was a podcast and a comedy movie about a fake ghost-hunting reality show. If anything I guess it could be based on the fake show from the movie? But it doesn't even look like that's the case.

Though they ended up getting an actor from the movie to do some callouts for the game.

I think the AV package on that game is totally great. It's really hammy. It's also another game that Dennis Nordman helped with which means I think he's done something with every pinball company in the last two years.

I just tried the new physics in Big Shot, and while I still like the physics it does wonky things in that table. I've seen the ball go straight through the pop bumper, and that thing where the ball "sticks" to a lane it's entering is really jarring with the new physics. I never noticed it with the old physics, but now if the ball goes into that open gate that feeds into the plunger, or those side 500/1000 point lanes (from the bottom) it's really noticeable. So it's probably going to be a rough go getting those physics to old tables that maybe weren't designed around it. I'm liking it in the other tables though, particularly Road Show which was really fun. What was the word on the rumored final Season 4 table? It seems like people had it figured out in this thread but I don't remember what they said.

Pinball Arcade problem - Road Show hasn't shown up in my table collection on Steam yet. I have a Season 4 pass, and automatic downloads are enabled. Anyone encounter this before, and know how to force the download?
