Joined the club last night with delivery of a GOTG Pro.

Dig the art and the shots.

Just played a few games on the new 0.73 code;
- Each mode has different shots (like Kiss, Aerosmith, etc.)
- A lot of movies lines re-done by sound-alikes. Several paraphrased or modified.
- Orchestral music plays during each mode. Not bad. Hooked On A Feeling or Cherry Bomb only play if no mode is active.
- LCD movie clips integrated with added graphics.....looks good.

All in all, a fun game, but the code needs wayyy more time in the oven to bake.

Quill’s Quest – Quill/Gamora Orb fight outside Broker's on Xandar
Pod Chase – Mining Pod Flight around Knowhere
Sibling Rivalry – Gamora/Nebula fight inside Dark Aster
Antiquities Shop – Quill and Orb inside Broker's on Xandar
Sanctuary – Ronan's intro/dressing chamber
Yaka Arrow – Yondu inside shop messing with Broker (this is where "bobbily boo" happens)
Knowhere – Drax/Ronan fight in Knowhere
Escape Kyln – prison processing

Groot Multiball - Kyln battle/escape ("I am Groot" / "Oh yeah"!)
Orb Multiball - Quill/Korath on Morag

Mystery is Silhouette of Walkman with text appearing between earpieces
Ball Save is Gamora grabbing the Orb on Xandar
EB Lit is Kraglin passing out extra Orbs to Ravagers
Extra Ball is Quill presenting (and dropping) Orb at Collector's
Replay is approach/depart shot of Milano

That's all I can think of right now...

Upgraded to 0.80 last night on my Pro. I can also report/confirm numerous ball hang ups in the scoop.

From what I saw, it seems to be tied to having the scoop lit or not.

- Upgrade? Instant return
- Mode Start? same
- Extra Ball? same

Seems to only hang in there when nothing is lit.

This is great news, as it means there will now be four songs in the game. Which means, there will now be four slots in the code to change out music with Pinball Browser to your heart's content.

I am leaning towards Guardians Inferno, Come And Get Your Love, and Fox On The Run along with Hooked On A Feeling staying.
(yes I know two of these are from the 2nd movie.....I don't care)

Installed the new code 0.87 and played a few games.

Initial thoughts;
- Groot Multiball does not seem to score as much, so, good.
- Orb Multiball seemed much more lucrative, so better balance.
- when in between modes, the generic blue hexagon screen is gone. Now a mostly static shot of the Knowhere head.
- A bit more custom speech. Rocket calls out the multiplied shots by name now.
- Light show no longer obscures top rollover lanes after a ball save, so shot multipliers are a bit easier to get
- While the last code added the progress screen towards Immolation Initiative with the Dark Aster, we now have a second progress screen towards Save Xandar. Graphics are a planet with orbits, and a colored hexagon animation lights up for each completed mission.
- Didn't hear Cherry Bomb, so they might be saving that for something...
- Rocket kicker seems a little lower powered now. Still surprising, but not as deadly.
- New different orchestral music when in double scoring now.

I'll add more as I think of them....
