The electronic nerd in me finds this discussion very interesting. One of the earlier comments was something along the line of "measured latency of 1 to 4.5ms of delay compared to an original. 4ms is lightning fast." Fast is relative - 4ms is certainly long enough for experienced players to notice, even if they can't find the right terminology to express it.

Also I must have missed it in the conversation, but beyond any electronic control issues, wasn't there the basic element of flipper travel angle being reduced? That alone would make a substantial difference. Unfortunately I have not had the opportunity to play the new version, so I don't have any frame of reference.

Finally, unless a game has been reproduced using all the same elements, opinions of gameplay are inevitable.

This is a good example of the differences in technology - for all of the benefits that modern electronics provide (adjustable coil strength, etc), there is no feedback loop indicating movement or position. In the old EOS switch design (properly adjusted) the coil would retain full power until the flipper position reached it's maximum stroke, whether or not it hit a ball. Now time, rather than position, is the transitional variable. If the flipper is impeded by the weight of a ball, or gets hit by a ball, this will absorb energy and the flipper might enter a lower power mode earlier than the old design method.

Edit - but I'm guessing they thought of this and calculated a time long enough to guarantee the flipper would reach it's maximum throw.

Lol - the '78 Camaro sucked. I would prefer to to remake them new.

But I understand what you're trying to say. And "to each his own", it seems the OP had both and was dissatisfied for some reason. I've not had the pleasure to experience the remake, so I'm just along for the nerd stuff.

The world would be a better place if more people ascribed to that philosophy
