Ok I’ve had my Pro for a couple of days and have put in about 50 games.
The first mechanical issue was the lock post popped out onto the left ramp.
As people have mentioned it’s only held in place by pressure. Basically it plugs into the coil rod. I’ve applied a small amount of non permanent locktite to give it a bit of help.
I’m not at all experiencing the issues of hitting the demo on my game. Most shots will go straight in the hole. Even if the shot is slightly off the vagina parts will help guide the ball in.
However, balls kicking out of the mystery scoop don’t seem to guide down onto the left flipper without hitting the left sling.
This causes a problem in catching the ball.
A catch attempt see’s the ball bounce off the left flip onto the corner of the left sling which throws it across for a full contact hit on the right sling at which point you loose control of the ball momentarily.
My game is perfectly level and this happens 9/10. I’ve found striking the ball as it comes onto the left flip less risky than trying to catch it, even if it’s an uncontrolled shot.
Could someone confirm where the left scoop kick out is supposed to be aiming at? Is it supposed to hit the drops?
Mine fires the ball into the entry of the inner right orbit. Balls rattle around but generally roll onto right flip.
Callouts are pretty non existent at the moment apart from some guy that sounds very much like the TWD. Ideally this voice should go and be replaced by the voices or likeness of the shows cast. Callouts should include some form of guidance as there’s not always the time to look up at the screen.
The above aside, I think this is going to be an incredible game when polished.
It’s fast, great flow and the haunting theme music really sets the mood.
I’ve got DP and JP2, this is as good already.
Upside Down scoring does seem wildly disproportionate though. I’m getting 25m from this yet only getting 5m on average for completing chapters....

Compared to JP pro it’s as good.

I must be playing a freak machine off the line. I’m hitting the Demo pretty much first shot every time.
I love the music, the lighting and sound effects, the heart pumping Upside Down.
It’s fast, smooth and easy to understand.
This is easily my favourite Spike pin to date.

Ive been on my pro STH for a bit over a week, at the same time I’ve had a Willy Wonka LE come in. The rush I get from STH makes WW pale into comparison.
Yes, the quality is non comparable. JJP is on another level. But it was also 5k more.
But for gameplay, STH is just incredibly exiting and so so addictive. More than any recent game I care to remember. STH is going to be a classic.
