    I messaged them and they said they know about it, but didn't give a timeframe.

    I have personally spent over $120 on all seasons and purchased all tables for the xbox one. I even own a few seasons on steam. One thing I will say is that the support for the Xbox live version is absolutely horrible. For the last three months I haven't been able to save a single high score, view the leader boards, or complete challenges. It's completely busted and they really don't seem to give two shits about it. Which is fine because I doubt I'll spend another dime on it. Maybe when they get enough developers to support all the platforms they're pushing this out to I might revisit it again.

    All I'll say about the game is that other then the fact they're using real tables, sounds, etc. it's nothing close to the real thing. They really need to work on the physics and flipper strength. When I play an old EM it shouldn't have the same flipper strength as a WPC95 game not to mention everything is very calculated and consistent eliminating the randomness and pinball like aspects when playing for real. It's kind of like when you see those digital pinball machines trying to emulate the real deal that maybe three guys at the expo are playing over in the corner with their faces covered. Yeah those disgraceful things... they just don't do the game justice when you get to experience them in the flesh. All in all TPA is a good thing but I take it with a grain of salt. It's pushed me to get out there and find games in the wild to really get a chance to experience them for real. I'm not trying to take anything away from TPA I think it's giving pinball more exposure than what we've seen in the past. Gotta get out there and find them....part of the fun is the hunt!
