Just wondering what some of the pins are that having scoring that doesn't take a masters in pinball to figure out.

I once had a NBA fastbreak that I never wanted, but thought was great. It had to go in a trade deal, but I loved just scoring 1's,2's and 3's.
And i'm not even a big basketball fan.

I don't like EM's.
I probably spend more time fixing pins than playing them.
Theme really matters to me.

Sometimes I don't want to spend to much time thinking, I just want to play.
I also like to play some pins more like an adventure game than for points.

Theme matters because I have to at least like what I'm looking. Sorta of like a car you don't drive often, but it still needs to look good when you walk by it.
Didn't say I hate basketball, just don't follow it closely.

Just to be clear, i'm not in the market for a pin.
I keep my eye out and buy when the timing and price is right.

I've had a lot of system 11's and I feel most have run their course with me.

I figured you guys would mention soccer, i'm certainly no soccer fan, but if it comes up cheap and local, I might be willing to give it a try.

In a twist of fate, I acquired a really nice theatre of magic since I made this post. (no I was not looking, but a trade deal came up and I took it), while I still don't grasp the scoring very well, i'm having no trouble following the callouts and my kids (2 and 4) are loving the them (they think the magnets are real magic, lol)
Chuck's see shot hit shot advice in the second post seems to really apply.
