All JJP flippers have the same feel, soggy, no snap. People talk up the "build quality" because the cabinets are really solid and heavy, and the monitor is mounted on a metal swing arm. Good solid under-playfield support rails too for working on the game. All of these components are of the highest quality and deserve the praise they get.

But, the playfields have issues like all the other brands, the code can often be buggy, reliability is only so so on all JJP games. This is where the "build quality" suffers. Keeping them working right and running. Kind of important in a pinball machine imo. The multiball-fest that GNR is also brings to light the "flipper fade" phenomenon where the flippers get weaker with extended play.

GNR hasn't been out long enough for there to be "location turds". The game is brand new. Just because a game is in public, doesn't make it an unrepresentative "turd". JJP flippers don't have the snap of WPC games or Stern games. When people walk up to a JJP game and play it for the first time, this is often their opinion.
