Quoted from Meph:

I personally don't have an issue with the flipper gap but I think it was a bad choice for this theme. I bought a GB Pro primarily because my kids really love the theme and wanted it. My wife hated my STTNG and never played it so I figured it was time to get something different. She hates the game. For my wife and my kids, longer ball times would be much better. I just can't understand the thinking of taking a timeless theme like Ghostbusters and make the game miserable for the casual player. I just wish they had thought out their design decisions a little more because I just don't see it lasting too long in my small collection. If I am the only (out of 4 of us) playing it regularly then I need to find something else.

i recommend got pro. you cant get really nice ball times on it and the 2 ramps are very fast and slick.

Quoted from kpg:

The clear coat on the add a ball insert is now starting to crack. I guess we'll play the hell out of this playfield and watch it get destroyed, might make a better case to get Stern to replace the playfield.
JT might have to sign 250+ playfields again at this rate. They weren't kidding when they said it was an LE/Limited Edition model. I really hope its only limited to the LE's. Later on, no one will even want to buy a GBLE because of this ghosting problem.. they'll just buy a premium and not deal with it.
I know this will significantly affect their next major release, who is going to want to be an early LE adopter after all of this?

thats just ridiculous. i am afraid mine and many more are gonna end up like that.
well i had an alien le on order for a while and looking into older pins. just got a really nice tz. gonna add some classics like totan, adams family, tom. gonna shy away from new for a while. interested in jjp #3 to be announced. maybe jump back in for a stern starwars if problems are addressed.

Quoted from MT45:

Thought I'd add to and update my ghosting documentation from the Real Ghostbusters thread here.
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/official-stern-ghostbusters-speculation-thread?tu=mt45#post-3272765
Back then I had just one ghosted insert ...
Sad to say today, just a short while later, I'm up to SEVEN total ghosted inserts. I sent an email to Stern more than a week ago.
No response. Not a peep. Dissapointing ...

check with your fingertip and see if inserts are sinking. probably why its ghosting. mine are all sinking. no answer from stern but trust me they know this is happening.
