[QUOTE="RetroBlast, post: 7702, member: 364"] I know that online multi-player will be coming to TPA. My fear is that it will work in a similar way to Zen Pinball Multiplayer in which all the players are playing at the same time. Each Player can only see their pinball table while playing. A goal is set in terms of a winning score. The number of balls each player has is unlimited. Each time a players ball drains, a penalty is subtracted from that players score by percentage, 5%, 25% etc. While playing, each player can see a graphical representation of all the players progress to reaching the winning score. Many people are satisfied with this type of online multi-player for pinball but I for one am not. Considering you strive to create the most realistic pinball experience without actually playing pinball, I do hope that you will at least offer, as an option, turn based online multi-player in which each player must wait until their opponents ball drains before it is their turn. Each player will see on their screen the pinball table of whoever's turn it is. In addition, live voice chat can be activated so players can talk while playing. Some have said that this set up is not the best idea because a single ball can last a long time or they raise the question what will be done in terms of extra balls. Use a Tournament Mode Option to solve the extra ball issue for those that think it is an issue. I for one would not be concerned about how long my opponent kept a ball going and the fact that I can watch them play their ball and speak to them while doing so is very exciting to me. This is how it is in real pinball. My question to all of you players is do you want TURN BASED MULITIPLAYER AS AN OPTION ON ONLINE MULTIPLAYER? [/QUOTE]
