Quoted from Eskaybee:As I play back the dozen or so games I've played on AS in my head; the biggest thorn that sticks out and irritates me the most about the game is the prolonged animations and wait time when you hit the ball lock and there's an awkward amount of balls in the toy box or none at all and Jackie has to reload. The game sits waiting for what feels like 15 seconds on what to do.
That's my biggest beef with the game so far.
Yeah I would also be getting VERY antsy waiting for the ball lock once the initial novelty wears off (which would be quick for me). That was one of the reasons I had to dump TAF ages ago as I got tired of waiting for Thing to fool with the ball just to show the trick.
I find these kind of gimmicks fun to watch at first but after a short time I'm like "just let me play". And it's not like waiting on an animation that can be skipped with the flipper buttons.
Plus there seems to be a bit of "dumb luck" to the lock shot but if others don't seem to mind that maybe it's ok.
