I don't really like the physics. I responded in another thread I will never play a game significantly other than to try it if I have never played it.
I have TNG and find TPA version both glitchy, too easy for ramps etc and way too fast. The fast may be because I play it on my phone. I have found the ball flying to random places way quicker and it never has spin or drag or anything. It is as if the ball is literally "gliding" around the table.
Personally I hate it on some games like TNG and TOTAN(my friend owns it) and Bride of Pinbot(oh god its ssssoooo easy on TPA).
To each their own. I like their recreations they do excellent work but I will never be on buying a game from them ever.
