I get that these polls are overdone ... I’m just really curious about what comes out the winner between these two great games.

As someone who has owned both for eight years, I'm going to say STTNG. Such a well balanced game and though both have fantastic theme integration, its hard to beat the custom callouts from the entire Enterprise crew.
Quoted from Rascal_H:I get that these polls are overdone ... I’m just really curious about what comes out the winner between these two great games.
To me, STTNG is the best full package in all of pinball. You have an awesome theme and deep challenging ruleset with great toys, full cast custom actor call outs, great audio and dots and a fantastic light show. It does better as a whole than any other game IMHO.
That said, the one game I said I would trade my STTNG for is LOTR and that is the only thing that pried it out of my hands because I didn't have the cash to buy one outright. For me, LOTR is a close second as it comes up just short of STTNG in a couple categories. I don't think you can go wrong with either personally.

Launched a probe on this. It discovered nothing.
I have these two games sitting next to each other in my small collection. In my mind it will be hard to get rid of either. Both are set fairly aggressive and the STTNG games get to be pretty short while the LOTR games are still fairly long. As for which is the better game? LOTR by a hair for me right now.
I have both and have owned them for years. Both over 10 years in my collection. I love both. LOTR is a much better game in my opinion. I have my LOTR set a bit harder. Outlanes are wide open and I set TTT MB so you have to lite "keep" for each lock. This makes the game a bit more challenging. I do have EB enabled, though. Ball times are definitely longer on LOTR than STTNG and that's why they nicely compliment each other.
