STTNG by far. It's a top 5 game of all time. MET pro is a shell of a game with no code, boring layout, and a bunch of mechanical flaws that keep it from being a good game.

STTNG isn't a game that always clicks with people instantly, which is what makes it so great at home. Once you get the Picard maneuver down, you'll realize it's the most fun combo in pinball. Also, STTNG is great because it forces you to play the modes (at least to a certain extent). While the wizard mode isn't the best, if you don't play the modes and collect the artifacts, you will have a really low final frontier score. Some modes even have 2 artifacts like search the galaxy if you play them the right way.

Those posts are BS, they just don't work and they screw up the game for me. Trying to dial in the snake shot to get it to stick is a pain. The hammer that has so little movement that it looks like a tap is just silly.

Those are my main gripes. They are just so obvious, there was a lack of attention to detail or care on this game, I'm not sure which.

It's not that I don't want it to stop the ball. I don't want the ball to hit the post then roll back into the orbit and back to the flippers.

I want it to stop the ball and head into the pops like it should.

I guess I don't know how to respond? When a post designed to stop a ball and drop it into the pops inadvertently sends it back into the orbit and to the flippers, I see that as a design flaw. On every Metallica I've played, the snake shot does not work. At best, 25% bounce out, but that's dialed in, tends to be 50%+

Are there METs out there where the posts work and the snake shot doesn't bounce out, I dunno. But having two major shots not working, for me, is enough to say the game has serious mechanical issues.

On LOTR, if you give that post just a little bend, it still fits through the hole and the ball makes contact every time. It's tricky but can be done.

Maybe there is something you can do to MET to make that shot better, I have no idea.
