Quoted from mbwalker:I own a Freedom EM. No doubt Freedom can be a random pin , but it can be a very fast pin at times which is still fun. Plus you figure out how to deal with the randomness after awhile. The pops are very active and makes for some very energetic game at times. Scored about 174K on it shortly after I purchased (pole barn find). But every game over 100K is rewarding and doesn't happen often.
I also have a Freedom and it's my fastest pin (I have all EMs). I'm often trying to get to 100,000 to hear the buzzer go off, but for me that also doesn't happen very often. With the flippers in the normal spot (unlike the rarer version with the pop bumper between the flippers), it can be a challenging shot to get the ball back to the top for the random kickout score. I think this makes the whole pin a bit less random and more challenging. I consider it a bit of an underrecognized sleeper. It can be a lot of fun.
