The biggest problem with the Pro is getting one... (un)patiently waiting. Clearcoat issues have been fixed.

Yes, pro's are currently on the line and are either leaving Stern as I type, or will very shortly.

For the love of god, close those blinds.

You're out of room and you have to let TZ go? What about that Gilligan's Island? I can't imagine you have room for that over TZ or JP.

Do we have a compiled list or can you link a specific post? It’s a large thread.

Thanks.

Yah, so , the list is in the other JP thread. Also, we have two threads why?

Replacing every stop in the game is a waste of time and money, but buying one to have on hand just in case with your next pinball order probably isn't a terrible idea.

I'm having a hell of a time dialing in the center loop shot, the one with the spinner.

Shots from the right flipper are generally good, ball hits the spinner, goes past the gate and usually ends up on the upper flipper. Not all the time, but most.

However, shots from the left flipper, clunk and die and end up in the pops almost all the time.

I did adjust the gate, i saw that was an issue on some games, but not this one. I flipped the gate up and it stayed in the up position, so I was able to take that out of the equation.

I see very little that will affect this shot. Does it work for anyone? Does anyone know what I can do so that shots from the left flipper make it past the spinner and around to the upper flipper?

Thanks for the reply. I want the game playing as intended, even if it's not advantageous to my score

If it’s happening to everyone, that’s how it is. But it doesn’t seem like the intention.

Maybe?

Most of the time, fixing machines is easy. Dialing in a pinball, especially a NIB, is an art and can takes weeks or months depending on how many plays you get on it.

Pro. No brainer. Dino head isn’t great, raptor cage adds very little.

I'm not being sarcastic, but in what way is the T-Rex phenomenal? It "eats" the ball, moves around a bit and puts the ball on a ramp. Besides the lackluster implementation and the big box for a neck, I guess I don't understand.

And as of right now, the raptor pit is a lot different, but again, it's implementation is more of a secondary objective at this point than a main one.

This game as amazing, but everything amazing about this game is in the pro version. The premium is better, and I went premium because I think this game is that good, but I don't think I'd ever recommend someone go premium over pro on this one.

Genuinely asking, not trying to shit on your post.

It's not that the T-Rex is bad, it's just not good. Having the Dino sit there waiting for you to shoot a ball into it's mouth is very meh. The DE Dino was implemented better, at least it actually ate the ball, it didn't just sit there all goofy with it's mouth open. The implementation is strange.

It's kinda fun that the ball is in the T-Rex I guess, but it just sits there like it's at the doctor waiting to get their throat looked at.

Again, for the raptor pit, it's not bad, it's just not good. The raptor pit is just not important enough to care about such a minor difference.

You can use bias and alignment interchangeably.

Horizontal alignment (bias) via software, vertical alignment via hardware.

Is it a bug or not that when you go to start your first paddock the rescue shots you need don’t immediately light? Impatient people like me have to wait otherwise there isn’t any way to know which shot needs to be hit so you can’t double flip to start.

So, when you activate the first paddock, all the rescue lights that will be available to hit, light instantly? For me they light before the talking is done, but it takes 5-6 seconds I'd say before they light.

This is only for the first one, subsequent paddocks have lit rescue shots immediately.

Here is an example. First paddock, lights blink red but the rescue lights don't immediately light:

The easiest way to locate at part is to go to the manual of that game, find the part number, and then search Pinball Life for the part number. If they stock it, it will come right up.

The best shots. The best flow. The best rules.

I've owned a Deadpool pro, upgraded to premium. I own a Jurassic Park premium. Both games are some of the best value pro games ever made, if not the two best pro models ever made. The premium is not even close to worth it for either, though it was worth it to me, I'd never recommend it. The pro's are just too good a value.

While both games are phenomenal, Jurassic Park is the game you want. Jurassic Park is the flowiest (not a word) methodical game ever made. Deadpool is pure action. The downside to Deadpool is that to get to the wizard mode you basically have to beat the game twice. Jurassic Park definitely doesn't have that issue. Jurrasic Park has an excellent balance of it all. Deadpool is phenomenal, but it's more geared toward action. If you want a flipfest, Deadpool 100%. If you want a well balanced game to last as long as possible, Jurassic Park 100%

This game got a new wizard mode that also doubles as a mini game you can start whenever and it has it’s own high score table?

This is insanity.

By far the most confident I’ve ever been in a pinball purchase.

I have a JP and DP premium right next to each other.

I think JP is the better game but DP does some things better.

JP excels in rules and ramps, but DP excels in action and humor. DP is a lot more approachable, DP has drop targets, DP has better spinner shots.

I think JP is superior, but I could absolutely see someone disagreeing for those reasons. JP is probably the best shooting game ever. I love rules and this game claims to be at 1.0 software but it’s more like 12.0. It’s so fun it’s absurd. It just depends on what’s important to you and what you like.

Are these drop in replacements?

Before now, it was a toss up between TSPP and LOTR for the best rules of any pinball. However, I love TSPP but it was a very slow playing game, and LOTR was a very bland fan layout.

This is the first game maybe ever to combine a ruleset that tops those games with a design that is both fast and methodical. Rules this good are rare, playfields this good are rare, together....

And it's not the quantity of rules. Quality, creativity, and immersion are tops.

I’ve spent a lot of time trying to get that shot dialed in. People here seem to accept it in it’s clunkyness. It’s by far the worst part of tjis game, seems like the ball should go to the upper flipper with a clean shot but it doesn’t.

Just installed a PinWoofer super kit. Holy shit.

You can test for the opto issue. Go into the test menu and select the left ramp test. it'll count the number of times the ramp entry opto is tripped and the amount of times the ramp exit opto is tripped.

Hit a few balls up the ramp and see if you have more exits than entrances. Start resets as 1/2 bricked shots might trigger an entry but obviously should trigger the exit.

If the opto is the issue, after 10 shots you should have 2-3 entrances and 10 exits.
