Quoted from MXV:

The captive ball shot in FT isn't nearly the drain fest it is now if the game has the full-length flippers it was designed with. It is a challenging multiball for sure, but that makes the reward of super jackpots even sweeter as it is a real challenge to get them started.

Wasn't FT designed with lightning flippers?

Think we may be debating semantics. May not have been the initial envision of the designer but they shipped with them thus lightning flippers are stock and reg flippers would be a Mod to the game as it was shipped.

IMHO - FT and BSD with reg flippers is way to easy for the level of depth the game has.

Quoted from Eskaybee:

Optimus prime mb in TF prior to the memory progression patch was one of the hardest standard mb's for me to complete. Fun ass mb too, just tough as nails.

No joke. Getting all that done in one attempt was crazy hard. I'm glad they put the option in there for progression. I would like to see it being a 4 ball MB like Megatron is but with being able to stack Mud flaps and OP you can get 4 that way.

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.
