Quoted from Whysnow:IF you have the ability I will say that one of the better coding ideas worth stealing from and unnamed already failed company...
individual player tracking
The idea is that you could step up to a game BEFORE playing and hit a button combination along with the start button which would allow you to enter your initials up front. It then tracked all sorts of cool data in your player profile.
I step up and enter HMJ and then it keeps track of things like how many times I have completed mode x, gotten to multiball, collected jackpots, super jackpots, achived mini wizard modes, wizard modes, etc.
For a home play (or even route play experience) it would be great to be able to compare to others over time.
I could compare to my wife and have bragging rights for making it to X, Y, or Z.
This sort of player tracking would be a really cool thing that adds lots of lastability to a game IMO.
That is pretty nifty. I'd expand to say I'd love to see someone adapt HS tables to show more than just the "king" of the game in the modes. My wife loves getting highs scores on stuff but if I get a good run going, all the games at home just show my initials. Being able to see different people is such a neat idea be it through initials like Hilton mentioned for personal progress, or some way to dive into each of the modes high scores tables. Maybe while a modes champ initials are showing press both flippers to see a larger table of say top 5 for that mode?
I know too elaborate can make things messy but just some ideas!
