Quoted from MXV:So you prefer your games to be how the sales/marketing team altered/ruined them and not what the actual game designer intended? I wish we had more customers like you back when the company was still in business.
I was trying to be nice but seriously, the game was shipped with them. Things get "designed" all the time but are cut/changed all the time before production. What goes out the factory door is what it is. You made a comment basically stating that FT is supposed to have reg flippers on it. That is not true. The game, as release by Williams is supposed to have lightening flippers on it. If you want to make your game easier, that's up to you.
You say marketing ruined the game. I say, you ruined the game. FT with reg flippers is BORING!!!! Way to easy and doesn't justify the ball times as the code is way to shallow for it. You can debate that all you want but in this case I think the marketing team (as you say) saved the game.
