I also played the game yesterday and the game looks stunning. The artwork is very very good.
Unfortunately the gameplay is bad bad bad For me the main issue seems to be the distance from the upper side to the flippers is too long. You get a feeling the ball is slowmo when you wait it to come back to the flippers.
I read above about leveling but have a hard time believing that. Jack was there standing next to it, together with other people. They watch people playing and complaining about the ball speed and don't react? It only takes a couple of minutes to adjust the pitch so you get a faster flow if this would be the case.
I hope they don't release the game in the current state but take the time to get things right. If not people are going to go crazy over here receiving the product in the current state it is.
My 2 cents... sorry..
