    I used to leave all my games set at 3 ball, but when I bought my new TOTAN it was on 5 ball and I have left it there. It actually seems a lot more fun that way as I have half a chance of making the wizard mode that way. I guess I am just an average player. Starting to think about changing all my other games to 5 balls. What are your opinions?

    Quoted from Luckydogg420:

    5 balls untill you know the game, then set it to 3. Give extra balls instead of replays in options

    I like this idea. What good is a replay when it is in freeplay anyway. It will definitely help me to learn the game better this way. Maybe that is why I was liking it better. I am an old EM guy and the new rulesets can be pretty tough on us old guys. Thanks Luckydogg.

    Nice pics. Can they do this by themselves or do you have to help them?

    Well I actually got the wife to play TOTAN tonight set at 5 balls and she said it was too long for her. Can't seem to win. What else is new?

    Quoted from iceman44:

    That's right Ted, 3 ball sucks balls!
    Ever seen the AT&T commercial, "More is better, its not complicated".....even kids know that....
    More is better, its that simple Maybe its because I don't aspire to be a "tournament pinball player"

    I like this one.
