Playstation 4 PSN - Pinball FX 3 - Alien Vs. Predator - 5 Minute Challenge - 3,059,432,959 - brandon kelly

Wow! Thats messed up! Was not aware that could happen, as I probably committed hours on this table just like Brandon has recently and in the past. I see no mention (yet) of this "bumper ball stuck endless score mode" in the Zen forums pages, so you just might have discovered this new glitch. (yes, I must label what I saw a glitch)

This reminds me of Jive Time on the Wii- PHOF, when the ball gets stuck in the drop, (a known glitch) and the score will endlessly continue forever, for doing absolutely nothing, til you purposely tilt the ball. Back when I discovered this, I showed it on video to a referee so he could update the rules for research purposes (in which he did) . This would happen 1 out of every 20 games on average, and still does to this day. The Wii doesnt patch or update their games.

Attachment 72280


As a competitor, or non-competitor, I could never accept this action as "legit or normal fair play". So this will be the first one from you I cannot "Accept" . I am but one adjudicator, so of course the TG public shall decide its fate.


I do have to ask you 2 questions, Brandon.

-Do you honestly feel you "earned" this score?

-Would it be fair to other future competitors once Zen Studios discovers this, then patches it up and fixes it?

First, I didnt see in the rules where it mentioned a glitch, so that is grounds to cancel this sub. I don't want to earn anything unfairly, and with the scores Ive put up, I think Ive proven that I don't need to. Second, as far as "earning" this score, I wasn't sure. You could hear it in my voice, I was just as surprised as anyone. On a table without so many moving parts I would've known, but in this case I just wasn't sure if it was an intentional part of the design or not. As far as being unfair to future competitors goes, no I don't think itll be unfair, because like their recent problems with the Mimban table, Zen has proven that they will wipe their leaderboards if they think theres an issue...…….
