Quoted from robertmee:there are literally dozens of threads indicating cftbl as 1 of the hardest pins to master
Over what games? TSPP for example? I've done everything to do in cftbl a ton of times over and over in the few weeks I could bother to play it while owning it... It is a drain monster, but are you saying because it is hard to not stop the ball from draining that makes it a hard game, and a player's game?
If I was to make a game with one target, and 5 inch outlanes, and everything drained constantly, is it then deemed a player's pin? There are literally hundreds of EMs that have to be set to 5 ball because of the draining, are they players? What about pre war machines with no flippers? Surely they must be players to then too, I mean what is harder than no flippers at all??
Come on... it is a drain monster, but it is ridiculously shallow, there isn’t much for any “player” to do, let alone a good one. It doesn’t take 10 years in to determine that.
I’ll stop there as these discussions are always futile. I must be missing the super awesome wizard mode that somehow makes this game challenging and deep for a player to appreciate.
