      When Tomate joined VPW he brought Darth Marino’s NBA Fastbreak with him and hit the ground running! A veteran of Sketchup, he learned Blender surprisingly fast and baked out new textures for pretty much everything. There is only handful of objects that hasn’t been redone in past 4 months. A thousand stuck balls later with much debugging, lighting and miscellaneous other contributions from iaakki and Sixtoe and we had shot and scored a decent tune-up for this table: Nfozzy physics, Fleep sounds, 3D inserts, flupper domes, VR room and more!

      • Includes Desktop, Cab and VR versions in one VPX.
      • Plastics, Ramps, Nuts, Bolts: Tomate
      • Wires: Tomate, Mr_H
      • Playfield: EBisLit, iaakki
      • Physics: RothbauerW, Benji, iaakki
      • Inserts: iaakki
      • Lights: iaakki, Sixtoe
      • VR Room: Sixtoe
      • Miscellaneous tweaks: iaakki, Sixtoe, Benji, Oqqsan
      • Testing: VPin Workshop Discord, Rik Laubach

      This release wouldn’t have been possible without the legacy of those who came before us including Darth Marino, DJRobX, CarnyPriest, MaX, Aurich, bmiki75, JPSalas

      Thank you to Flupper for 3D insert techniques & domes. Thank you to Rothbauerw for nFozzy physics.

          That looks amazing. This is one of my all time favorite machines and I’m lucky enough to play it weekly in league (when we had league). We even had two linked up for a little while at the place we play. Can’t wait to try it out. The original vpx was quite faithful so can’t wait to see the improvements.

              Cool! We did rebuilt so many things for this, that we probably did something bad. Please if you could report all the issues you face, and we will do fixes. :)

                      Love sports!  Unfortunately most sports tables (certainly not all) are kinda lame in my opinion.  This one sure isn’t !  GREAT JOB as usual !  Always excited to see what you all come up with next.  Thanks

                        It is playing very well compared to the real one. I have made a few tweaks to make it play even more like the one at the pub. I just played it yesterday so it’s still very fresh in my mind.

                        I found the stock flipper settings to be a little easy for me. First game I scored 290 with a ring which is about 30 points more than my high score on the real machine. Yesterday I only managed 130 for my high. To increase the difficulty and get the shot trajectories the same the changes were small. Adjusted the start angle of the flippers to 120/-120 and reduced the strength to 3200. Now it’s playing very similar and the center shot is quite close on both flippers.

                        I’ve had no other issues with it so far :) Plays beautifully.

                            Very nice. We’ll definitely look into putting your values to next release. Check also PF friction. We used rather high value as table felt too fast. Maybe we just had too much power on flips. Combination of many things to dial it properly.

                                Change one thing and something else needs tweaking. Totally understand. It’s also a challenge that these machines all play differently due to age and setup. When we had the two machines side by side the league director would only allow us to play one of them for scores because the other one was so different. Since the spot we play at is for league the machines are set up pretty tough to begin with. The addams we play has the bubble at the very top for instance and it’s brutal.

                                This version of fastbreak plays very nicely as is and it’s cool that with some minor  tweaks it’s playing very similar to the one we play on. I also tried increasing the playfield pitch a little and the upper playfield started reacting more like the pubs but that one is dangerous as it causes the right ramp to sometimes go down the shooter lane so I put it back to how it was. I looked at the playfield friction but the speed already feels really good to me and the upper playfield doesn’t need to react the same. It’s the lower half you care about the most.

                                Incredible work. Thank you for this :)

                                      My local place Ikuri Arcade has just restored a linked-pair too. They are closed at the moment and I managed to play only few rounds on both just before the arcade closed like 2 months ago. They both had quite different feeling. I took some measurements from ramps etc.

                                          VPW seal means pure gold. I cannot believe how realistically this table looks and feel. Thank you! I wonder what’s next? ;-)
