Welcome Back to Digital Pinball Fans - please read this first
I'd love to see Pinball Arcade add 3.0 physics to the older tables!

i really hope so..the feel of game has really improved these last few months.. i'd love to see that translate back thru the best of the best tables that came out in season 1

Let's not go down Zen route of changing a tables physics without resetting leaderboards.

Big Shot already has been adapted to physics 3.0. And as far as I know without resetting the leaderboard. I'm not sure if that would be necessary though on this table, I could do some live catches and had the impression that ball movement was somewhat more natural than before, but otherwise it's the same soulsucking demon-table that I was fond of earlier 
I must admit though that I recently upped my best to around 440K, but I wouldn't think that had anything to do with improved physics.

I hope they do find the time to go back and update all the tables. I find it a big improvement. Maybe they can start with the kickstarter pins?

Apparently it's time-consuming to add the new physics to pre-Xenon tables (Xenon being the first "new" table with the physics baked in). Every new table from Xenon forward will automatically get the new physics.
They are doing it table by table as time allows.

All tables will eventually get the flipper physics update. Some tables will also get a re-tuning in general. I sent Bobby a list of tables with 'impossible' shots and he plans on addressing these as he either adds the flipper physics or deals with the planned 'difficulty' settings for certain tables. It is a long process, as it involves changing lots of values on the tables and ensuring physics do not become broken with new adjustments. I think Theatre of Magic was close to being finished, with Black Hole coming up next in line. Don't quote me on that though!
And yes, Big Shot for sure has 3.0 flippers as do all tables since Xenon.

I believe the Big Shot physics update was released along with Road Show

Thanks. The comments thread is enabled on the sheet as well.

I find it amusing that they chose the table with probably the simplest geometry to update first
Oh well, something for free, can't complain!

Guess we might as well add Theatre of Magic and Black Hole to the list as TBA.
Are graphical updates part of this re-tuning? Some of the early tables, especially before they got a better camera to take pics and switched to doing one table per month, look really rough in spots.

I wonder how tables are being prioritized.
Not a big deal ,I'll take em as they come, but I was thinking..
It might be nice to have the kick starter tables sooner then later in the list. It could be passed along as another nod of appreciation for the support to get those tables made.
