    fun stuff....1/2 my picks will make the next round.....

    #18 4 years ago

    This should get good in the next couple of rounds. It will boil down to the usual suspects, then the arguments will start...

    Quoted from AFM95:

    Great point. For how many people bitch about the Top 100 rankings, it has been fairly quiet on this thread.

    It's because there are mismatches, and in some cases, some great games are going to get knocked out due to their low ranking against unworthy overrated titles...give it time...

    #22 4 years ago

    I got 16 moving on I think ( with some emotional votes that I knew would lose). Respectable....

    Quoted from freeplay3:

    One thing I don't like is the JJP pirates getting the number 1 seed. If you look at its ratings it only got number on this month because a bunch of people(my guess are owners) of the CE gave it all 10s in ratings. Its rating jumped from 8.729 to 9.661. I'm sure it won't matter in the first couple rounds, but might piss me off if one of my favorites gets bumped because its match up should have been different.
    With that said, this is a pretty awesome thing to do. Thank you. I am really looking forward to watching this for the next few weeks and then posting how my favorites got screwed for a few weeks after it ends.

    Agreed. The NCAA tourney is seeded w dominant teams at the highest, down to smaller schools w great teams. The overall 1 seed generally has earned it. Fun to root for the underdog.

    Pinside 100 has legitimate games that have earned dominance and then...well...not so much. A clear #1 contender is not being shown in the rankings sadly.

    Can still root for " underdogs" yet they are really not. Will be fun to watch

    BM66 vs BSD is killing me...love them both equally..

    MET, JP, TZ, and AFM my final 4 predictions. Winner - JP.

    AFM has by far the toughest bracket to get through. I agree w a previous post that the top 100 rankings will be given massive grief for providing some games get a cakewalk to a point, while other, better games get slayed in the process.

    This will get interesting - "fanboy vs. spite vs. reality" at it's best......entertaining thread!!!!

    Quoted from PtownPin:

    Everyone has their own reality

    Agreed..

    #59 4 years ago

    Sadly, 2 of the 4 current top vote-getters will have to face each other before the final 4 - MM and TAF. Tragedy, I say!!!!

    Quoted from Astropin:

    I still (and always have) thought that not enough people have put enough time in on IM. It's the greatest 1 ball game of all time and one of the best games ever overall. Its outlasted 20 other pins in my house. Now the new JP just might be even better, but I'm still in the honeymoon phase on that game.
    I've played a ton of CV over the years and it's a solid game...personally wouldn't buy one though.

    IM finally gained a slight advantage. +100 to your post!!!

    Quoted from AFM95:

    A friendly reminder that voting ends 10pm EST/7pm PST tonight.
    Voting for Round 2 will start tomorrow and run through Wednesday night, ending at 10pm EST/7pm PST.
    Updated brackets, matchups, and statistics will be added to this thread, as well as the Round 2 thread tomorrow.
    Thank you to everyone who has participated.

    Thank you for doing this!!! Takes my mind off the world for awhile.....

    (although an unmentioned game literally having a walk in the park until the elite 8 genuinely pisses me off, lol)
