I had my own "Dark Night for Stern" last Saturday.

I own quite a few of their pins, LOVE them to Death and they will never leave my house. But what I saw and played on Saturday will never get into my house. I had skipped on the last 3 Stern titles already due to their current poor build quality and seeing this broke my heart.

Dimples like I have never seen on a new title and of course, ghosting.
And it was obvious that all money went into buying the license, not the BOM.

Quoted from snaroff:

If my PF ends up looking like your photo, it will suck.

You may ended up with a great quality pin and have nothing to worry about. Yours has no ghosting and no dimples? Well, neither does my GBPrem - whilst the GBLE here in town has terrible ghosting. It almost seems like there are two sources for playfields that Stern uses. One has great quality, the quality we all love and expect, and the other is cheap as crap.

Quoted from snaroff:

Was the PF you posted from a "Pro"? Curious.
snaroff

Yes, a Pro, sorry should have stated that, hence my comment on "low BOM" as well - I bet the Prem/LE kicks much more ass

Quoted from jgentry:

Is it from the ball bouncing off the tiefighter?

No, all of the playfield looked like that. Hard to get photos because of the glare, sorry. And yes, location game, they had it for around 2 weeks from what I was told.

If that would be a Golf themed game I would call it a feature, on the other hand....

Quoted from iceman44:

hard to tell if its like that SW pic above because sometimes it can look better or worse with pics versus in person. Especially when you put the magnifying glass to it

I walked up to it and almost fell over - in person it looked worse than what the photos indicate.
The photos were taken from the very perspective of the player - this is what you see.

And I counted 3 ghosted inserts.

Quoted from Who-Dey:

He can say whatever he wants, doesn't make it true

Then be a man and drive to Chapel Hill, NC and take your alternative facts photos.

Otherwise your are nothing but an ass for calling me a liar.
