As long as so many folks buy sight unseen and flippers unflipped, Stern doesn't have much incentive to do better.

Quoted from CrazyLevi:

That makes almost no sense. This is the first "shallow" pro they've made in ages.
This was supposed to be a simpler game after the deluge of button mashing nonsense and complexity of some recent titles, and that's what it is. Doesn't mean every game from here on out will be like that and Stern won't "do better."
FWIW my GF likes it. She likes the Munsters, Spot coming up from the stairs, bashing Herman, the clips and likes that it's "easy." It's the first time she's ever gotten a wizard mode LOL. So great, she can go for that while I'm working my way through the Batman 66 next to it or going for team ups in Dead Pool.
So it's not for everybody but it's the game they set out to make. If you don't like it, wait for the next one. There's ALWAYS a next one.
I think people around here tend to forget how many games Sterns pumps out, 3-5 new titles a year. It's almost ridiculous how productive they are. If Beatles or Munsters ain't for you, maybe the one coming out in a few weeks will be.

The code bothers me less than the design shortcuts. I mean, the monotargets (TM), come on. If monotargets sell it's only encouraging them to strip down the features even more. They'll keep doing it feature by feature, slowly, until eventually a Stern Pro comes out with one flipper and one giant monotarget and Franchi's art of Gary's ass on the translite and people will still be defending how loaded it is.

Quoted from ViolinSteve:

Still laughing about this visual in my head. Absurd and hilarious. I need a T-shirt with this design.

Good news, some early concept art leaked out of the Stern factory.

LE comes with extra long monotarget.
