Anyone else experiencing the "through the flipper" glitch?

PinballLizard (Mark Wyda) · Apr 12, 2014

You know, balls magically going "through" the flipper and right down the middle?

I thought it was history, but I experience it on ps4. Thankfully it only happens (so far) in multiball, but it's still a nuisance.

Anyone else?

If a ball hits another ball while it is on the flipper, at the right angle and velocity, it can punch the ball right through the flippers.

I have seen the glitch multiple times on Creature from the Black Lagoon. During multiball when the ball exits the whirlpool there is a small chance it will pass through an upraised right flipper. I'm pretty sure I've seen it a few times on other games, but that is the main one I was able to take note of and reproduce.

I have. I also have experience my balls *ahem* flying off the table on Black Knight as well. Kind of sucks actually.

I had one of my balls get stuck in Black Knight's lower hole (so to speak) on several occasions.

That's what he said.

I feel sorry for the poor attendant who gets called to remove that ball.

Just like in real life.

I had a flipper break while I was playing a game in real life. Why aren't we stimulating that?

Lol, yeah they could add that in the pro menu.. broke-down location game mode. Flipper bats and rubbers breaking, lights out, switches not registering, DMD lines out, random game resets, grimy playfield - now that would be real pinball!

smbhax · Apr 17, 2014

I suggested something like that once, would make for an interesting challenge type mode. : ) Maybe not flipper outright breaking, but a weak flipper, or an unusually killer ramp, etc.

Or we can play some plagarized Taito tables! Seriously how did they get away with that? They turned Xenon into something ugly. They only made 1 original table. Suggestion for a Taito Mode.

What are you talking about?

Kemetman72 · Apr 23, 2014

Taito used to use the same playfield layouts and some of the artwork on Bally/Williams tables like in the Xenon era. Look for yourself. I am not lying. BTW I wouldn't mind tables like Xenon and Fathom and Flash but I guess people wouldn't buy enough of them. EBD as well. Back on topic I have had the ball sail through the pf on BK. It's weird to see and that "hole" at the bottom which starts multiball bug has been there since the table's been released.

Anyone else experiencing the "through the flipper" glitch?
