>> I don't know offhand if video mode can be disabled.  Nothing would change until after the season, that's a fact.  I agree though that it tends to cheapen the experience.  For example when I had it at home I never went for video mode.  If I'm falling behind 50-60 million in a league game though you bet I'm shooting for it. :)

>>> 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.
