As a non-owner I have zero control over it, but I still prefer 3-ball games when playing on location for the reasons quoted below. That's even after considering that I get more for my money on 5-ball games, all other things being equal.
I'd prefer to see the price per play lowered rather than the number of balls increased because when its not factory settings I always have a "This ain't right" feeling about my score in the back of my mind. Give me a 3 credits for $1 or 5 credits for $2 deal with factory settings (on a well-maintained machine) and I'm a happy paying customer.
Quoted from E_N_3:...but for some reason, I feel guilty about having it set for 5 balls, like I am cheating or something, lol, even though they are my games, and it isnt cheating...
Quoted from LesManley:I like to play the games the way they were designed to be played. 3 balls, factory settings. Replays are replays, not EB's. That way you can measure success against other people as well...
