    Quoted from Oneangrymo:

    I was really interested in virtual pinball too until I stumbled across a video of a kid playing one and just triggering the flippers like crazy and he was able
    To make shots with it. Like good shots . I was like this is dumb

    TPA opens the shots up a little for people, I don't know how far off you can be, but yeah it's stupid. It's mainly done that way to make new players enjoy themselves more. Plus I've never liked the physics on TPA or That other one that looks like a video game.

    VPX tables are a lot better, a few things that sucks are there are no variance to the feeds (although you could code that into the table pretty easily). The nudging sucks, the ball moves rather the table creating the opposite of what was intended on certain saves. Some authors don't put a lot of time into the physics, but you can fix that as well.
