how are the scores in matchup mode calculated? i have the impression that it`s basically pick a easy taget,get the 40 points over and over again,which would give people that can play for 6 or 10 hours a day an advantage over those with less playing time,if that`s the case it is the most pointless tournament ever made in a game.hope somebody can enlighten me.

Also....why is it timed? Why not have this mode as 1 attempt on 4 different tables. Choose your competitors (as it is now. Good risk reward decision on how strong you feel you are on each game ) easy score, med score or hard score to beat, but you only get 1 attempt on each game in a 3 ball (no free balls) game. No boosters or power ups or anything like that. Just the game with the same basic setting as everyone else you are playing against.
If you like you could have a booster league and a standard league. If you have a booster league, you might as well allow extra balls also.
I originally saw this mode and got excited...then I looked at it and realized it was made by someone that wanted to push "play more, play more, play more, buy all the table, play more, buy, buy, buy, play more" instead of someone that had actually played in a pinball league.
I have to say there is not one new mode in PBFX3 that excites me at all. They are all "play until you win" modes. If you want that...that is fine, but make limited tournament and league modes also. Where if you suck...you suck. Just like real pinball leagues and tournaments...sometimes you are on and sometimes you are off...there are no try agains or re-dos. If you are a bronze 3 level player...you will be playing in bronze 3 until you improve.
This is coming from a 5 year, B level league player (very inconsistent and mediocre) that likes participating and trying to improve.

I think something that'd fix this somewhat would be to give every player a certain number of tries on each of the four tables (15-20 maybe). That way grinding wouldn't be a factor. Once you're done for the week your score is set. The extra points for dominance would also prevent hundreds of people having the same score in the end. At the moment I'd have to agree with what the others said. In this mode it doesn't matter how good you are just how much you play. Unless the scores you have to get even with the easiest option become A LOT more difficult it will just be about who plays the most.

ok,it`s the exact same grinding contest on the next level ,oh yes you need to stay in the last 90%percent? that would make it even easier if my math is correct. i hope this is not the promised superb pinball multiplayer experience they advertised,if it is big time fail.Last edited by Uwe; 10-03-2017, 01:44 PM.
