Oh no, not again

It's probably people still upset about the shark not eating the ball. The majority of people seem to like how it shoots and enjoy the code so far.

Yes, ratings that center around the most expensive version is an odd way to do things, a version most won't ever play. Why isn't it an average of all versions?

You can always keep them as separate ratings but have the average be what default appears in the top 100.

Once the swivel head on a giant hole mod starts getting installed, I expect this to shoot up the charts with a bullet (or harpoon).

You can score trillions now too. Who cares.

BTW. Does the shark eat the ball.

I do think they missed the mark on that one. Which is funny but could have been a missed opportunity. Just for the sake of saying it alone.

Stern and the annoying old gatekeepers of pinball cared!

The new patch released today does away with this "sneaky foul" and sends Eric Stone to the penalty box!

Sounds like a job for Stern to log in to their dormant Pinside accounts to boost the ratings on their newest release. Then the accounts go back into hibernation for another 6 months.

Bunch of ratings from people that have never played it. Has to be. I do think the Pro sacrifices a lot without the upper playfield and physical shark out of the playfield. Both create drama and diversity of shots/flow. Having played both (and owning an LE), the Pro is a top 25 game today and the Premium / LE is a top 5 game today. Today. With 0.85 code. Don't believe me? Go play it yourself rather than giving weight to ratings of someone that watched two videos of gameplay before dropping their own opinion. Never touching the game themselves. I have both JP and Godzilla too. Those are certainly more mature and developed. But the assets, moments, shots and flow is next level in Jaws. As long as they stay as committed to code development and polish as those previous Elwin games, Jaws - especially the Premium / LE - will be a top 5 game for a very, very long time.

OK - finally played the PRO and thought it was lame (but then again I think most PRO versions of games suck). Hoping the premium has more to offer.

Just a heads up, Jaws Pro actually entered the Top 100 last week at #93 (7.955 rating). Moved up to #77 this week. I'm filled with mostly useless information these days so felt the need to share.

LE ratings trending VERY high. Premium somewhere between the Pro and LE....as would be expected.

I played both the Pro and Premium on 2 different trips - got a decent chunk of plays in on both. Unfortunately, it's not going to make it into my game room even though it was one of my most anticipated titles. That's OK though....glad to see other folks really enjoying it.

I'm not even rating it until the code is more mature. I also really dislike that each version gets its own rating and think it should be an average of the 3.

Hmmm...I dont think so. Played the pro a bunch last night & played LE a bunch last week.

Anywhom, the premium has a shark rhst pops up which is better, but the upper PF I'm not sold on yet. We'll see as im heading to play Prem tonigjty.

I know this will blow your mind, but people HAVE played it and some DON'T like it. I played the pro... it's fine. Not amazing not terrible.

Agree 100%
Ramp to upper clunky if not a real clean shot.
Better not blink or miss the shot with upper flipper.
Yep, “play better”, give it time, etc. but first impression for me was - is this more fun?
Eh, maybe. Need more games on it.

As reported before the LE we couldn't get the fuckign ball up there much. Pro had no problem making thst shot. Round #3 coming tonight!

Wasted flipper? Did you lock in a ball stall on it when the green light flashed on the action button? Pretty sweet.

During MB you can lock it in to that flipper by hitting the green action button. Pretty cool trick.

Agreed. I’ve played it a fair amount and I’m a solid “meh” on it. Both pro and premium.

Fattie go play more jaws!
Report back!

Omg. wtf are we gonna do?

Shame on you Elwin. #77.

What the F were you thinking

IMO, the Jaws fun factor is through the roof. (played the premium at Ayce Gogi) The only other new pin in the same league of fun was Labyrinth. I played EJ and even the pinball on the playfield seemed embarrassed. Why is the big monitor just a bunch of old screensaver Eltons leering at you? Compared with Jaws movie clips, it's like a homebrew...

Put that in your rating review for Jaws

I like a mini playfield where I can play around a bit even TSPP has more sustainable for ball time. But yeah with Jaws you are just connecting a larger combo it seems with one or two shots. But the upside is the upper playfield is easy to get to.

count me as another meh. played a few games on a Pro, then a few on an LE. i can't for the life of me get into any sort of enjoyable flow. i'm probably just playing it wrong, but i don't feel particularly inspired to try to figure it out when there are plenty of other pins on the floor i actually enjoy playing. plus since it's new, the price per play is set to 66% higher than the other pins at my location. not worth it.

Sounds like a bunch of you need to learn the rules before you bash it. OP didn't even know about flip lock? Comon man!

I was "meh" too the first time I played it and considered canceling my order for a premium. Sure glad I didn't.

Holy Moly!
Just noticed that you're back. Weren't you off here for several years?

I don’t rate easily, nor often.

Need some serious time with a pin first.

I just love pinball so damn much.

Yeah, like 10. Jaws is so good it brought me back.

Can't believe some of the reviews. Are we playing the same game???? I have the premium and this game is insanely good. Shots everywhere and the video assets are awesome. The upper playfield is a big difference maker as well. This will keep moving up the list. Definite keeper for me as this game has the whole package for me.

Shoots perfect on this on to upper

Make your shots eh? Nice!

This game is bad ass!

Ah that new game rocket ship on the top 100. So whats is the next stern game?

I’ve played about 40 games, and while I’m not a good pinball player I’d put it somewhere in the 50-60s.

It’s fun because it’s new not because it’s good.

Love the code, not a fan of the layout. I own my favorite 4 pins and 3 are by this crew. I’m just a huge fan of bottom third’s and there’s not much there in Jaws. 35 games in on the pro. I like games steep and the 2 I have played were not. I’ll be playing a friends prem soon and shall see if that changes. Still no doubt a fun game with great atmosphere and rules.

Who made this? Would love to see that in action.

I'm not sure ANY of the reviews are legit, as none of them mentioned that they couldn't resist the urge of tearing the glass off and shoving a ball in the shark's mouth. And maybe only the local operator stopped them.

Who gives a flying you-know-what about where a brand new unfinished game is ranked in the pinside top 100??? C'mon why are you wasting your valuable time posting about this?

Man the bottom 3rd of Jaws is great.

Thank you .Im only seeing some targets under the pop which would be the bottom third. I’m a huge fan of IMDN, GZ and JP for the risky fun down low. Revive is my favorite shot in pinball. We’ll see what happens.

Ahhh...shooting upwards I see what you're saying.
I like the activated left ball save and right outlane bump as awesome down low. I'd count the upper flipper as lower 3rd with its own rules but I get were you're cumming from.

Still, I am 100% happy with another fresh layout and applaud them for creativity. That’s all that matters is people are getting real options in pinball now.

I'm seeing a few soon to be owners getting mad at people for not liking their new 9500 dollar purchase, and blaming random reasons why others are wrong and they are right.... about an opinion of all things.

Got some plays on an LE yesterday.

Jaws is....weird.

But I like weird.

First impressions are that I definitely want to play it some more. So far me likey. RH mini-flipper feels a lot like my old Baywatch.

Later,
