Quoted from hank527:

Okay the code is a major improvement. There still are issues to resolve though they are very acceptable and will be fixed. The game play is now improved and very enjoyable to play. I am now optimistic that this will be a top 10-20 game with a few more tweaks and a newly designed Wolverine for us LE owners (I hope)
The negatives are Beast mode is kinda lame. - Who cares right now they can tune that up
Magneto locks have some flaws as it drops balls for modes instead of keeping them locked. I got a couple of 2 ball modes that should have been 1 ball because of the Magneto locks not working 100%
Flaws right now seem pretty minor. I can certainly live with this and let Stern continue to improve this. I need to now figure out the rules as it seems easy to start modes and very difficult to complete them
The code is really night and day different. My hope is they will make it just a little bit harder to start modes maybe 3 shots instead of 2 to make the game flow a bit better. I also hope weapon X multi ball is a bit harder to start maybe require 5-6 shots to start it.
Man this is very positive as the new software is so much better.

Quoted from RobT:

Another thing I noticed is that when you scroll through the menu to pick a villain, Brotherhood and Hellfire will not show up if they aren't qualified (they used to show up and tell you to complete them first).
Yep, this is still happening to me as well.
Definitely agree with this!
The game is now beatable as it is. Everyone was saying that they would *never* see the wizard mode on this game. That isn't the case now.

Quoted from Rarehero:

No way dude, there are still so many modes....you just get to see a lot more of them per game now, which is super fun!
Basically, the hero modes are kinda easy...and the Villain modes are pretty tough. I like this set up...it seems as though Danger Room would be the reasonable wizard mode to get to...and Dark Phoenix would be the one for expert players!
I didn't mess around w/ the options, but I took a look and it seems like you can change difficulty levels and time allowed for each mode. So, if you find it too easy you can tweak it to your liking.
I'm finding the defaults to be very enjoyable & challenging!

Gerry I've got my coil pulse on Normal and it's fast and snappy as all hell. Mark may be right about the coil being a bit more chill on the scoop kickout...but honestly the slings, pops, and flippers feel the same to me.
