[QUOTE="Storm Chaser, post: 199416, member: 373"] I haven't played this forever but I am currently going through my worst scores and try to improve them. I remember this was the first TPA-table that I really disliked and it all came back to me quickly why (with all respect to you who have nostalgic reasons to like it). While the BK2000 has the coolest music ever this laser countdown made me mute my iPad instantly. Then the whole multiball-rinse-and-repeat. But worst of all, that center ramp drain (especially in multiball). It's ridiculous! About 50% of all multiball balls go to an insta-drain rendering most other tactics impossible! Slap save, you say? Well, it's really not that easy on an iPad since you need to keep your fingers on the flippers to not let all others drain the same way as well. Nuff with the ranting and the tactics then. I am not sure I agree with the go for extra balls. I mean, obviously extra balls are very, very useful in this game since it is quite linear in the scoring (the more balls you have, the more you score - pun not intended). But, actually shooting them in a controlled manner (especially during multiball) is quite risky and very tricky at times. I go for those targets when I have accidentally taken some down and have some sort of aimed shot to go for. Basically, my tactic (on iPad) during multiball is to keep my eyes on the lower field and try to shoot them back to the upper field and flipping the hell out of the flippers at the same time. Stop flipping lets the balls slide down the center ramp with a predictable result... Trapping/cradling during multiball hasn't really done me any good either. Oh yeah...and then we have the left-side-bonus-loop-to-instadrain-in-the-left-outlane as well...mmmm...No, I think I will settle for my #400 leaderboard score on this one. Too bad (and quite logically) all my worst high scores are on the tables I like the least. [/QUOTE]
