Quoted from Khabbi:You can summarize the answers to this question, for the most part, this way:
Those that own a JJP POTC LE- NO!! No way they are making more!
Those that don't own a JJP POTC LE- YES! Of course they will be making a ton of them!
There ya go. Thread closed.
As a JJP POTC LE owner, I object! My response to the OP's question is simply:
Hell if I know. I'm just happy I own one! Great game! 
Quoted from rai:I played Pirates again last night. Enjoyable pin, long ball times, jumbled mess of a code (to me). You can say it's deep or it grows on you in a home environment. But to me (at this point) it's a jumbled mess. As in you can start all five of the multi balls at the same time(?) ack! thats great everything is running and then you have no idea what is is what every shot will score.
You can say this about a lot of games. TWD, for example, can be very confusing to anyone not familiar with the code as a lot can be going on at once. Not to mention the number of newer games that utilize complex scoring algorithms.
Like most every game, Pirates' code is really not that complicated if you make an effort and take a little time to understand the rules. Lots of good tutorials on YouTube too. I strongly recommend Dead Flip's with JJP or one of Karl DeAngelo's to really see what this game offers!
Don't be a Kaneda. Do some rules homework and it will pay dividends as far gameplay enjoyment!
Quoted from gumnut01:Pirates is definitely a multiball heavy game. Bottom line if you don’t like to have lots of multiballs or the ability to stack multiballs then this game is not for you and you dodged a bullet. Out of the 6 multiballs, 3 of them are fairly easy to obtain. The others you need to work for.
Pirates doesn't need to be. It's up to how you want to play it.
You can choose to just focus on a specific wizard mode by hitting its respective chapter qualifying shot and limit your multiballs as much as possible, to the one associated with the wizard mode you're going after. Try to fully complete (hit all required character shots) as many of the required 5 chapters as you can and score jackpots & super jackpots as much as possible in the desired multiball when activated in order to maximize your scoring potential in the wizard mode.
Easy peasy lemon squeezy!
Quoted from gumnut01:Agree! And the easier multiballs such as worlds end do not score highly in isolation. I actually score higher from chapters. And add to this the ability to select Blackbeard or Gibbs for easier or higher scoring multiballs for a multiball game or Norrington or tia Dalma for trying to get the wizards and you have a game like no other.
Right on! I've been focusing on Barbossa lately per Karl DeAngelo's fabulous 35 MIL tutorial. I used to go for Tia Dalma to get wizards, but you don't need her. Just take Barbossa and focus on hitting the particular chapter shot you need!
Quoted from gumnut01:And I love how you don’t get the chapter multiplier if you only qualify the one chapter!! So balanced.
Yep, but inconsequential in the long run if you're focusing on a maximized wizard mode score.
Quoted from RC_like_the_cola:I really enjoy JJP Pirates, but the more I think about it, the more it bugs me that the only voice you hear in the game is Gibbs. ...
This has never bothered me. I guess because the Gibbs callouts as well as the accompanying sound effects and music are so fantastic.
While the potential for added video and callouts from the movies is so great with additional licensing, the immersive vibe that JJP has created in Pirates is really amazing given the limited rights that they had to work with.
