Frickin love all these ideas!! Thanks Stern for asking! Avengers 2 is right around the corner. Perfect timing for a Avengers pinball revisit.
I would only be repeating other people's suggestions if I included my own. Great game that with some small tweaks and menu options could make a huge improvement.
Man, having progress saved in the vs modes is brilliant. It should at the very least be a menu option.
Quoted from SaneWilly:I used to consistently have the saucer to H back to saucer (repeat ad infinitum) problem and took the advice of an earlier thread to put a small washer under one of the screws holding the saucer kickback mechanism on the underside of the play field. I have not had the issue since.
I'll do that to mine soon. Thanks.
Quoted from frolic:I thought the VS modes did carry over if you didn't complete them the first time? Pretty sure they did.
If it does, I cant tell. Sure doesn't seem like that.
Quoted from vtec16:What are the odds we actually get an update?
Hulk say, don't crush spirit. Hulk hate negative Nancies.
Quoted from Butch2099:I'm hoping they are really looking for input. I hope they just don't release the Thor flasher fix (which we know is already done) and call it listening to us. To me that game isn't done until there are animations for Battle for Earth (even though I have never gotten that far).
I've collected all the Avengers several times. Completing is another matter. It's just so many shots required. I've prob only completed Hulk and Thor. Options to dial it down are sorely needed.
Quoted from DCFAN:Here is how many shots are required to win each Vs. mode:
Thor: Easy-12, Medium-14, Hard-14
Hawkeye: Easy-10, Medium-10, Hard-10
Capt. America: Easy-10, Medium-10, Hard-10
Black Widow: Easy-10, Medium-10, Hard-10
Iron Man: Easy-13 or 14 (not sure), Medium-14, Hard-14
In summary the settings 31-35 don't make much difference. It appears the programmers had left them as place holders for later code updates. I personally would like to see EASY be around 6 shots, and then the timers could be turned down by the user and the modes would be more achievable and the ridiculously long ball save times could be reduced (there is a setting already for changing the Vs. Mode timer). Changing that would make the game more fluid and fun like Monster Bash with way harder shots.
I'm all for a challenging game but yeah, there needs to be an option to turn these lower like I can do for Whiplash or Monger shots on my IM.
I'm excited to see what Stern had in store for us.
Quoted from Lermods:Give spinner a rule
Fix H bounce
Finish wizard mode BFE.
Rest is good for me...love the game.
Mostly agree but would also like to be able to adjust vs battles
Quoted from Lermods:If this is the case, it's extremely disappointing. It's not consistent with other posts in this thread that suggest a code update is in the works. Who told you the update was now off the table?
I just posted to their Facebook page (via my wife's account since I'm not on it) asking about code updates. We'll see if they have anything to say.
Did they respond to you?
Quoted from RicardoMenezes:I sincerely believe he made some modifications. most were excited by 2 movie title . there did some pictures with clothes. I believe we will not upgrade. and even many who are we will ask the FB . I do not believe that the scare see them do or finish what they started . Stern today this no more concerned about the JJP . They updated their boards and station today as an equal in technology with its competitor. Besides having the hobbit stop their production, by lincenças problems etc. They Stern, Vao focus on new machines , the Avengers unfortunately was not a sales success .
Oh how I wish I spoke your native tongue and you spoke mine
Quoted from Audioenslaved:Does anyone know if stern are actually working on this code or was it just BS?
No one really knows but I'll be extremely let down if Stern doesn't have something for us for the Labor Day weekend.
Right, three months ago. Hell this thread is like four or five months old. Does it really take that long to add a few things to the game code?
Maybe the language and cultural barrier got in the way. Point is, if Stern, George or whoever had given an update anytime in the past what? Three years!?! Then more than likely, we wouldn't be asking for one.
Let alone getting our hopes up over FIVE months ago asking for suggestions for the game update.
Stern does this to itself. Releaseing games with bare bones code/beta code and it's a crap shoot if they will support it or not. They can't be too surprised or defensive when customers react negatively or start getting creative in how they attempt to get results.
So frustrating Stern just isn't more transparent, more honest and open. The stay tuned shit is more annoying than if they were to just say, Sorry we aren't able to devote time to a code update.
Quoted from RonaldRayGun:Come on Stern. Make the code open source already. Let the community deal with this shit. Your problem would go away in an instant.
Man an open source code with this community of creative and innovative enthusiasts? So many possibilities!!
Makes me so frustrated that not only do they not open the code but they also won't bother to correct issues or add in missing features.
Stay tuned!! 
Quoted from markmon:No. If his agenda is to exaggerate things to the point that it's all white noise to stern, then it works against the valid concerns that could be voiced and otherwise heard.
They can't open source due to license constrains.
I agree that the Swiss cheese analogy is hyperbolic.
Those same license constrains don't prohibit them from addressing our issues/concerns do they?
Pretty excited to watch the feed and hear them say Avengers code being worked on. Hoping sooner than later
Could someone please isolate the dead flip twitch YouTube clip to show us when Gomez came in with the Hulk figure?
I skimmed through some of the two hours and must have missed it.
Thanks guys
Quoted from 85vett:Sorry, don't know how to do that but it is here at 30:20.
http://www.twitch.tv/dead_flip/v/18246015
Oh ok. I saw that. I thought someone said Gomez came in with a Hulk figure and hand it beat up Optimus and smash the GOT pin. Just wanted to see that too
Quoted from Audioenslaved:@Jared any time frame here mate?
Come on Jared. It shouldnt kill Stern to be a little more transparent.
Quoted from Jared:Jody has said it... George has said it... and now I will say it (again). A code update for Avengers is coming. I am not able to give a timeline for this update, but I can say that it is coming. One day soon you will see a release graphic along with a link to the code on our website along with the copy paste of the new version READ ME. It will be a good day. Thanks for supporting Stern.
Thank you for responding!!!
Quoted from Rarehero:At this point, you just can't expect any creative gameplay changes...it's just not going to happen. The game is the game. At the very least they need to release the Thor-flasher bug update. Best case scenario you also get Wizard Dots and some option settings for games that have issues w/ the H target.
All that plus why not add the BW spinner to count toward her collection/completion.
