    Quoted from Rickwh:

    I love playing TPA. But i have to say the TPA experience varies depending on which platform you play. The realism factor is scaled down for "lighter weight" platforms like phones etc.

    This. Seriously. All of you hating on TPA physics with regards to any platform other than PC are really being ridiculous. The only legitimate platform to use in comparison is the one with the most development time and the most powerful and least limited platform... PC.

    yes it is different and yes there are glitches but a lot of the PC tables are incredibly close to their real counterparts.

    Paid for Season 3 Pro pass yesterday and I have been playing TPA since S1 and owing some of the machines in packs and having played others I would have to say that it is great for learning the rules of the machines etc.
    Certainly isn't the same as playing the real thing....of course the PF is the same etc but I can get much higher scores and make more shots on the real thing.....maybe that has something to do this the 'touch' flipper buttons on my Android phone or the iPad etc.

    Before playing TPA I had never played a Medieval Madness but after having a few games knew I had to have one. Know also looking for a couple of others I have never seen or played in the flesh. I love TPA for that alone.

    I honestly cant stand the virtual pinball, I played a few games on one and vowed to never play one again. Its like drinking pretend beer.
