[QUOTE="priested, post: 117907, member: 3758"] Have expressed my views on this in other threads but I will explain here. I thought the whole point of this game was to simulate the experience of playing an actual table. When I play an actual table, I don't stand to the side so my body is centered with the flippers. I stand at the center of the table as I'm sure everyone does. To accurately simulate this experience, the clear choice would seem to be to simulate that view in this game. The caveat I would throw in here is that while I believe that centering the playfield is preferable for portrait view, landscape is different. With landscape, the playfield is very short. Centering on the flippers probably makes sense in that case. In landscape, there are many compromises that have to made to make the game playable. With portrait, these compromises are unnecessary.
