Is TPA alone enough for you, or are you also buying into Zen’s Williams app?

[QUOTE="meanpinball, post: 292964, member: 7881"] I've tried to be as generous as possible in my assessment but ultimately the compromised physics of TPA is probably a deal breaker for anyone comparing the two brands at this point. This doesn't mean FX3 is perfect--it certainly isn't. It does mean however, that TPA physics is an ongoing distraction with most of their tables. Although they've done a good job of hiding it, the lack of variability and unpredictability in where shots go becomes impossible to ignore with extended gameplay. The flat, 2D appearance of the tables themselves is also uninspiring. I considered TPA to be a revelation when I first started with the app in 2013. FX3 is on another level, however. The only important question now is: can FX3 advance even further in providing an even more realistic simulation or will another company come along which can top zen? [/QUOTE]
