[QUOTE="vikingerik, post: 164431, member: 3745"] This is the most important bit. The strategy though is mostly "don't drain". Get as many cities as possible on that first ball, so that all the free Next City awards from the later balls can give credit for the longest distances. I find you need to get 7 cities on the first ball to make this work. The mileage requirements don't increase linearly, city 8 is longer than cities 9-10. Past city 12, the NEXT-CITY drop targets are your best bet to advance a city, easier than actually getting all the miles. Pay attention if some of them happen to get knocked down and try to finish the remaining few. Avoid multiballs because starting any resets the drops. Ball control: The most important bit is to shoot the Mystery Rider scoop on every feed to the right flipper. It's the only remotely safe thing to do on that side, and it's an easy shot that returns control. It's boring as heck but works, those mystery scores up to 7M actually do add up. Heck I think the optimum risk/reward strategy may be to shoot Mystery -> stoplight endlessly and never do anything else. Don't go for Speedometer Multiball after the first two times. It times out too quickly, a single miss wipes out all your advancement. The biggest points come from stacking Red Light Multiball into Milwaukee Multiball. In other words, reach the last city to start Milwaukee during Red Light. After Milwaukee finishes, Red Light continues with just a single ball, which can be massively exploited with increasing jackpots until you lose that ball. That's the only particular cusp for scoring though. Beyond Milwaukee, it's just more video modes all over again. Actually, those video modes are the cusp. Pay attention to the standups and shoot for the last one to light video mode when the other three are lit. Yeah the video mode sucks but those perfect completions are where the points are. Drill drill drill and learn the video mode pattern until you can recite it in your sleep. I actually drew out a diagram and taped it to the side of my monitor. [/QUOTE]
