[QUOTE="msilcommand, post: 285861, member: 7642"] Good intel on the backstory. I see how they ended up with the classic single player nomenclature now. I really think they could start with an update to FX3, changing it to Normal, Hard, Expert, and Tourn. Normal being their classic Zen physics for newbs or funsies with the table upgrades (the mode they call Single Player now). Hard being what they call Arcade now, which seems to be a little tougher physics, and without table upgrades. Then Expert could just have info notes that say "real world physics emulation", but leave the table rules at normal. That would be the expected difficulty progression, imho. The thing that strikes me the most is that they didn't create a mode with real-world physics, and normal table rules. That is what would feel like playing a real pin in arcade to me: real-world physics and normal machine rules. Tournament, would be the machine rules, not the physics settings. That is confusing too, but would be helped by having an Expert mode that precedes it on the difficulty settings scale, and which has real-world physics too, but just doesn't have tourn rules on.
