[QUOTE="Whizkid33, post: 36461, member: 1284"] Pro Mode thoughts, I don't really mind the price. What needs to be realized is that implementing the mode does cost time and money. So then it comes to the pricing. It is a little steep and I understand the arguments on the other side of it. But it is an extra feature and one at that that does not affect gameplay for scores or goals, so it is totally optional. As for the company they do need to balance how many Pro Modes they think they can sell, and find the break-even point to then see if they could break-even or make a profit from the work or not. The real question is how many people; if they did drop the price $1 or $2, would actually buy the Pro Mode... and then more so, how many would buy the PRO Mode for all the tables, versus just the ones they like. All of this is considered into the pricing of the feature (or at least I hope it was). Now getting to my opinion about the Pro Mode Features. I enjoy being able to set harder difficulty, and no extra balls/ having a tournament mode. It helps when I am playing with my friends because it gets very boring sometimes to wait for the other person because they got 3 extra balls. So that I do enjoy. But just for that feature I don't think the price is worth it. [B]There are some things I think Farsight could do to, to really boost up the benefit of owning Pro Mode:[/B] -Have the game, remember the stats, and Pro Mode settings, even if you turn it off. From my experience the data (like setting the time, modes played) Get erased when you turn it off to go back to goal getting/leaderboard modes. -Being able to implement a way to insert coins. Many people have requested being able to turn off freeplay mode, and put in coins. I think with the ability to go into the operators menu, this should now be implemented into the game. -The ability to facebook share what settings you are playing with. -If they could find a way to hook up the Audit Printouts to print out to a PDF or email, that would be really amazing. obviously to have this one useful, they would need to make sure the game makes a save file and records the rom data, and loads it even when turning off Pro Mode or shutting down the APP. I do feel that if this stuff was implemented then the price would be worth the mode. I know for myself I will Buy whatever Pro Modes they release because as mentioned above I like the extra features when playing with friends, to make sure the game doesn't last forever. [B]***Quick side note***[/B] - to those people who say it should have been included in the game anyway, because it is part of the game... etc. When have you ever gone to an arcade and been able to play with the operators menu? Are you the operator?
