    Are you making one for Bally/Williams too? Because you do realize they had the exact same issues...
    #doublestandard?

    (not at all saying that makes it right...just let's not forget many of Stern's issues were shared by all manufacturers in the past)

    Quoted from flashinstinct:

    Yes it does occur on Bally Williams games that are over 25 years old. These are happening right out of the box. You are comparing apples and oranges.

    LOL! Do you really think it took 25 years for B/W inserts to ghost? No. It is amazing how much of B/W past is glossed over because they are now 25 years old and the majority of the issues have been fixed by operators and owners through the years.

    Again...that's not a free pass by any means. This issue should be addressed. But it gets old hearing how much better B/W was than Stern when they had the exact same issues...from unfinished code to ghosting inserts.

    Quoted from Whysnow:

    really? Come on Chris.
    I own LOTS of B/W games and very rarely do I have any inserts with even minor ghosting.
    Yet, MANY Sterns with issues rapidly out of the box for insert ghosting and major pf issues.

    So 3 or 4 Stern titles have been ghosting lately? Anything designed by JPOP would like to have a word with you...in fact I'd say there's pretty close to the exact same number of B/W titles that were notorious for ghosting as there now are for Stern. It should be fixed, but don't fool yourself into thinking Stern is yet again the only "bad" manufacturer.

    Quoted from Whysnow:

    Yeah, CV is notorious for insert ghosting, but by and large it is a rarity in other B/W games. Aside from that I have had zero issues on the 2 spooky games, no issues with FullT, and no issues with Hobbit.
    We are talking about currently available games. Apples to Apples, there is a current trend and it appears to suddenly be much worse with GB. If anything teh trajectory is rapidly increasing for # of bad pfs from Stern. It is a big issue that needs to be addressed ASAP.

    Good to hear there are no other current manufacturers having issues. Hopefully it stays that way. This is a nasty problem, no doubt, and I hope no one thinks I am marginalizing it. Hopefully Stern figures it out soon and makes it right for the customers with problem playfields.
