    OP
    Quoted from bearsfan27:

    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?

    For the average players like us 5 ball for deep games is the way to go!.......

    I have SM and NBA set on 4 ball, Lotr on 6 ball and WPT on 8 ball now!.....I play WPT all the time, its a journey and a blast to play and I'd never get to see all the great stuff in WPT if I left it on 4 ball...

    Quoted from spfxted:

    Sorry, for me, pinball is 5 ball. EVERY game I played in Wildwood, NJ was 5 ball. When they started switching to 3 ball everyone was pissed because it was just a money making thing. (and, of course, at arcades, it caught on quick!)

    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"
