The layout isn't similar at all but sorry and no offense intended how the hell can anyone answer this question when ST has been out for over a year and pretty much finished on the code front while the other game hasn't even been released?

Whenever I hear "no offense intended," it usually means it's time to protect your balls.

And I think enough guys have played this at shows and in homes to give some perspective on the OP's questions.

Be nice, Hazoff. True, the Maple Leafs are in last place, but there's always next year.

Sorry, also I don't watch Hockey and hate the Maple Leafs mania that affects my great city, not good to post hung over. I will say this having owned a STLE and playing quite a bit of the GOT pro both are great and if I was a GOT's fan I would easily drop the coin for the pro, yet to play an LE like most pinsiders so I couldn't say, if you have had you're ST for a long time then I would say a change is warranted and buying GOT is a good move.

Damn. It was just a guess...and a wrong one.

I am in the same predictament as u. If I find they are similar. I will move my twdle in between them so problem solved st n GoTLE won't be next to each other

I think with upper pf,house stack, and over game strat will make it a totally different game. The shot sequence already has a different shooter

Played a few games on an LE on Friday night (thanks Frolic!).
WAY different than STLE. No comparison, in my opinion.

Game are totally Different, i find they are equal in speed, and have similar features, If you like steve richie tables its a great buy, but i think 1 of steves tables is enough in a collection, just my opinion, Good Luck!

I might be in the same boat, good thing no decision needs to be made this year. Also might as well wait for the next pin announcement, lots to think about.

The only thing that is similiar is that their bot Richie games. That being said if you want to change things up, dump the ST, get a got premium and than go get a woz. Or keep the ST if your absolutely in love with it and get a TH!
Problem solved!

The layouts are certainly different, but I think there is a certain signature to Ritchie's games. The shots are nice and wide, and there are many combos to be had.

IMO, ST and GoT are more alike than they are different. Though they are not technically similar, they "feel" similar to me.

TWD by comparison feels different. Maybe it's the difference between wide open flowy layout, and a tighter more tough layout. Orbit through the pops on TWD etc. Feels riskier.

I really like how GoT is shaping up but it'll be a while before we can tell what it's really like.
