[QUOTE="fuzzyfoot88, post: 27036, member: 1197"] First and foremost I'll say TPA is amazing. Best on the market IMHO. That being said I just have to voice my issues with it. 1. Ball lag! I've read so much about flipper lag on this, but that never happens to me. Instead I get the ball lagging like crazy and warping around the table constantly, as if the frame rate drops or something. It doesn't happen all the time, but when it does, it causes me to miss shots and catches all the time. This is incredibly annoying. 2. Camera position! One of the things that makes Zen Pinball so great to me is the game saves your preferred table view for each table. You don't have to worry about altering the view from table to table. TPA doesn't seem to have that feature and depending on the table I am playing, it can be either View 1 or View 2. I know this seems trivial, but it's not something I want to be worried about when I load up a table. I want it to just remember what view I like best for that particular table. More of a minor annoyance. 3. Ball Drains! I may be in the minority here, but I don't really nudge all that much. Usually because I fail at it anyway. But I played my fair share of the real tables where I also didn't nudge. What irritates me here, is how easy it is for the ball to drain. It just seems more likely to drain in TPA than in real life. It really keeps me from getting what I consider high scores. Anyway, these issues aside, TPA is still the best pinball video game out there. [/QUOTE]
