I keep seeing people saying how TPA's physics seem "floaty" and I'm not sure what they're referring to exactly. Thanks.

Play Medieval Madness on PHOFWC and you'll see what Floaty means.
Indeed. I've saved many, many balls from the outlanes on MM after a bad slingshot just because the ball took 5 seconds to leisurely get over there. It really does look like it's levitating at times.Play Medieval Madness on PHOFWC and you'll see what Floaty means.
Floaty is to pinball as pitchy is to American Idol. It's not an official term per se, but you know it when you see it or hear it. I could hear Randy Jackson saying, "yo dawg, I thought Medieval Madness was just ah-ite on the original PHOF collection. It came out strong but the ball physics were floaty, dawg. And the sound emulation was too pitchy for me."
Ha, I like that analogy.
Floaty, Jeff, is when you have taken one too many hits from the vaporizor.
Floaty means that the ball seems to lack weight and merely hover over the playfield rather than actually making contact with it. By the way, the ball was "floaty" on the PBHOF Collections, but doesn't feel that way at all on TPA in my opinion.
Whilst were on the subject, on an earlier thread I saw someone say "spamming the flippers" and wasn't sure what they meant.
Guessed It means repeatedly flipping quickly.
