Quoted from YeOldPinPlayer:I disagree with your thread title because its never been useful to me. Even ratings that are based on recent results (think IFPA ratings) can never be perfectly accurate and those are based on objective criteria such as win/loss ratio. A totally subjective list will only be useful to a small subset of users and probably in different, individual ways.
Two buddies of mine are insane players. They absolutely kick ass at pinball. The are easily top 100 players in the world.
We are talking marathon 45 min balls and get 4-5 replays IN A SINGLE GAME.
They refuse to play competitively, yet they have demolished comp players in “casual” games.
The IFPA ratings are meaningless once you watch an unranked “casual” spank a group of seasoned comp players.
