The reason a player has to wait is today's games are so damn easy that ball times just seem to go on forever and ever.
That's one of the reason's competitive pinball using modern games is not fun and not really that competitive. I honestly don't know why people even bother unless they really need the prize money that bad.
Quoted from ichigokurosaki91:I don't get why pinball never changed as it should be.
During and after the pinball slump of the early 2000s, it was not in the cards for change as pinball was hanging by a thread anyway.
Since then it has to do with the advent of the home collector, and pinball disappearing from location play where a younger, more hip crowd would gather.
So to appeal to these older collectors who are pretty much set in their ways, pinball companies developed a business plan that would appeal to them and help drain their bank accounts the same time. And it's been working real well for the last 5 years.
Quoted from ichigokurosaki91:Why can't two players play pinball at the same time? That's my question.
Depends on if you are a good Santa, or a bad Santa.
