Problem with cross-syncing trophies

[Eccentrick]

I earned a few trophies on my Vita during my lunch hour at work. There's no wi-fi access there so I booted the game up when I got home to sync with the server, as well as sync my trophies. I then started up the game on my PS3, but the trophies didn't pop up there. As far as I know, cross-syncing trophies (earn them in one version, they get earned in the other) is a feature with this game. Am I wrong, or is there something I'm not doing right?

Each version has their separate trophies, no cross-syncing here

Thanks

Thanks. I'm gonna have to write IGN's Greg Miller now and complain about him steering me wrong:

From the review:
"Scores are posted to the same leaderboards regardless of where they're earned, and earning a Trophy in one version of the game will make it pop in the other."

Greg did a bad review for ZP2 in my opinion. I mean, he said to skip The Avengers pack, and that WWH was the standout of the pack...FAIL...He's right about the leaderboards, though.

Holy crap man! Pardon my language but I'd like to slap Greg in the face after reading that. Especially this:

"Fear Itself and Infinity Gauntlet suffer from a complete lack of star power. Whereas the original Marvel Pinball packed Spidey, Wolverine, Iron Man, and Blade, here we're given the Serpent, Thanos, Silver Surfer, and Adam Warlock. These are B-listers from the Marvel Universe, and unless you're a Marvel geek, the stuff they're shouting out is going to be lost on you. Thanos will magnetize balls and the Silver Surfer will glide around every now and again, but it's nothing you have to see. The tables are basic, and the characters aren't that interesting."

Well guess what Greg, a lot of us ARE Marvel geeks and we love the Avengers pack. I get tired of all the rehashed Marvel crap pushing the same old faces on us over and over again. They finally do us some fan service and you criticize them for it? What a piece of crap. You're writing a review for video game pinball and your taking a shot at geeks. Give me break.

You guys are going to have to forgive Greg. It's obvious he isn't a big fan of Marvel. Only people who aren't use to other characters say things like that. They only want the face of Marvel there like the Cap ,Thor, Iron Man, Wolvie, Hulk, Spidey,etc. They don't know that characters like Deadpool, Punisher, Daredevil are just as important and are still very popular.

However, I will not forgive the amount of downplay he publicized of Fear Itself. You also have to remember guys/gals that this is his opinion and he has a right to it. Although it's WRONG ...he's still entitled. The only bad thing here is that he's writing for a big video game review company like IGN, where his opinion can deter people from trying these awesome tables out. That's why we have to step up and call him out on it and persuade people to try the "demo" out before making any haste decisions. See the product for yourself before you listen to someone who doesn't know anything about comics or good games when he sees it.

Indeed! The game supports "Cross Buy" and "Cross Play" (multiplayer mode and leader boards), but not "Cross Sync".

I love that Zen did that. I can score on the Leaderboards through my Vita for both the PS3 and Vita, yet have my own trophies. I think that's fantastic!

Don't know if you agree or not, but the only real gripe that I have with ZP2 is the lost feature of seeing if my friends have the same trophies I have. On PBFX2, you can see if your friends earned achievements on each specific table. That feature looks to be non-existent here. It's nothing major, or may not be a concern to most. I just wanted to see that feature here, versus going to the trophy card.

I never cared for the feature much, since Sony's own PC site does it much better.

Just login to your PSN account and select "Trophies". You can compare trophies with up to four friends at the same time.

Well yeah if you're at a computer. The Xbox site has that too! Well not up to 4 friends simultaneously, but you can still compare. I'm talking about while I'm actually playing ZP2. I don't know if you've played PBFX, but when you scroll through the options like leaderboards, team force points, pro scores, etc. There's also another page that will show all of your friends who has PBFX2 in the place they are in score on that specific table, what achievements they got on there. Like I said, it's minor, but I myself would have loved to see that on there versus going to your trophy card then comparing to see which ones you have and I don't..or vice versa.

+1, it was on MP, why not ZP2?

You're right, it was on MP! Hmmm... I'll have to ask Barbie about that.

Hey now, Greg is a good friend of mine, go easy on him.

[Bearded_Warrior]

Sorry Barbie. It just caught me off guard. I just get really annoyed when people give poor reviews because they don't know or understand the source material, which is what Greg appeared to do. I've seen it in other reviews before and it drives me nuts. If you're going to review something do your homework.

Also, I understand that Greg is your friend, but do you realize that your friend is telling thousands of people that the Avengers pack you all slaved away on for months is not worth $10? I'm just saying. That's pretty insulting to me.
