Pro Vs Normal Pack

[MHB]

So, can some one make clear what is/are the differences? If I understand right, we do not get extra tables, only two versions of some tables. Is that right? If so, why I only have one of each table in my "library" if I bought the Season 1 Pro pack?

You get some 'tips' in pro mode, can view the entire table up close with the free camera view. You can adjust the operator menu, and some pins, like Scared Stiff, lets you turn off 'family mode' so you get all the missing dialogue. I highly recommend you get Scared Stiff pro mode for that reason alone. It makes the game much better IMO.

I didn't get pro mode for any other table. You don't get 2 tables. You turn on Pro mode in the menu when you load a table.

So, the extra money is well spent in your opinion? I bought the pro for Season 1. I am thinking if I also buy pro or normal for season 2.

Well since achievements and leaderboards are disabled in Pro Mode, I'd actually say no, unless you really want to see the operator menu. I'd only recommend Scared Stiff personally, as with Family Mode turned on, lots of the dialogue are absent. In Pro mode, it's all there, and makes the table a lot better.

[MHB]

Disabled? So if I buy pro pack I will not enter leaderbords? Or can I turn it off?

By the way, we really need more info about this.

Nonono, if you play a pro table, your scores won't appear on the leaderboards. It's not possible to enable this. If you play the non-pro table, they will register.

[MHB]

Ok. I have to find some time to play the game and see for myself. Thank you for your time. And I hope that this tread helps others that are on the fence.

Eh, disabling leaderboards kinda defeats the purpose of the game for me. Shouldn't it do that only if you mess with the operator settings, like changing the number of balls?

I still don't get the whole 'pro' thing. It makes it all more complex than needs to be in my opinion. I like the idea of classic tables but this is the wrong business model in my opinion, and probably also one of the reasons for the overload of DLC. A table should not be different versions, missing dialogue, etc. The sad thing is thats's it possibly to late to change any of it.

[The Space Ferret]

Well missing dialogue is understandable. The lines in Scared Stiff are double entendres and they can't put those lines in the normal table because of the game rating. Their only option is to put them in the Pro pack.

Pro mode can be enabled or disabled on the tables. The pro mode is mostly for people who want the full experience of owning a reproduction of the pinball table. If you only want to play it, you are best off with pro mode disabled.

[MHB]

Yes, but it seens that this "pro upgrade" is a bit to costly for what it gives you and it is not very clear in the game. When they say that I will have a "Pro Version" of some tables, I thought that it would be a lot nicier than what it really is. I fell a bit disapointed by this purchase (not the tables, just the Pro version intead of the normal).

[MHB]

And about this "buy ball skin"? Buying the Pro I do have all skins for the balls or not?

My head is already spinning. Do not want to have to worry to come here and ask if I should purchase Pro mode or Normal mode. lol I just want to buy a pinball table not have my OCD brain obcess over versions of the same table.

pro mode is quite useless imho, they should add more features, for example a good feature would be to choose both the vertical speed (gravity/inclination) and the flippers power, in order to customize the table and make it "similar" to the version you have played ages ago. i have this also on ipad2, still downloading here, by the way, i have purchased only 1 pro and in my hopinion it ddoesn't worth the money at all, waiting for it to be improved.

That seems like a copout. If you're old enough to understand a double entendre, then you're old enough to hear it. If not, then no harm done. The Pro option just sounds like a lame cash grab to me.
