Quoted from BMore-Pinball:

Watch them play in this video, lots of quick drains
» YouTube video

Both players seem to be mostly hitting the ball on the fly each time. That ain't gonna work on a lot of games.

Quoted from Mitch:

Might as well pick up a bsd or Dr who and replace the lightning flippers with regular ones while your at it

I couldn't stand my BSD with the lightning flippers installed. The shots not feeling natural was the main reason, not because of center drains though. Once I installed normal flippers, man was the game so much more fun and natural feeling.

Quoted from DaveH:

And boring... I know it is a tiny change and the flippers are not that much bigger, but it takes some of the stress of the game away. And BSD is a game that lives on stress. I want to feel a little uneasy as I play it, because I'm supposed to be battling with a vampire. That is supposed to be stressful.

I wanted to enjoy the game while I owned it and not be stressed out over playing. I kept the lightning flippers on for a week, but the shots just were not fun and flowing for me. From what I've read, the game as designed for normal flippers and it felt like it.

But that's why when someone owns a game, they can adjust, mod and tweak it the way they want to enjoy it.

My wife and I got lots of games in on GB at Allentown. While we were liking the game at first and wowed by the artwork and terrific audio, that quickly wore off as we played games.

Do those drop targets require multiple hits to actually drop? I nailed them squarely and would get bricked and finally they would drop after a few clean direct hits - but rarely on the first hit.

Crazy airballs when hitting the left standup next to to the left ramp. God damned ball would fly the length of the game, thru the air, and land in the left outlane.

Plenty of balls that jumped the outlane rail and drained. Which just sucks.Had a few balls dribble out of the right saucer and into the right inlanes.

Just sucks losing balls that shouldn't be lost due to design issues. We had way more fun on GoT Pro and sent a check for one today. Could've been GB - but it wasn't. Also helping our decision is a local bar is getting a GB in a week or so. We'll give it another shot, but it's not like a code update can fix what we experienced.
