[FSPA] GB at CarPool (video mode)

[Roland Joyal]

I can almost guarantee there is no adjustment for that since there is no mechanical need to ever bypass it.  At best, there might be some adjustment for difficulty.  Just remember the video mode on Junkyard and how lucrative it is and how it kinda makes that game a one shot/one mode game, at least early on in game play  ...hopefully GB is not that bad.  -Roland

Can the video mode be disabled in the operator settings?


If it can be disabled, I wouldn't disable it during this season, because of all the preplays that had been recorded with the video mode enabled. If the SLO decides to disable it, it shouldn't take effect until next season.

Hey folks. Just an idea / suggestion:  would anyone be opposed to disabling the Video Mode on Ghostbusters at CarPool?  It's really dumb that 90% of the games are won by whoever gets the most video mode skillshots.


There is a lot to do on that game, but in competition, pretty much everyone just goes for Crossing the Streams, and nobody has a particularly fun time doing it.  Video Modes are fine, but when it becomes all anyone does on the game for points reasons, I think that's a problem.


It's gotten to the point where some good players have started actively avoiding starting any of the modes on the game, because it gets in the way of playing Video Mode on their next ball.  In my opinion, avoiding progress on a pinball machine just so you can play the video mode over and over is an awful, unfun way to play pinball.



I'm not making this suggestion to help myself, by the way.  I won group 1 two weeks ago by doing Cross the Streams three times.  I accomplished literally nothing else on the game.  I don't think I made a single ramp shot or started a single mode.  


In my opinion, winning a round of pinball should involve playing pinball.
