[QUOTE="Shaneus, post: 143318, member: 204"] After a quick play, I've worked out why it feels so much easier: Upper flipper is far too powerful. There are shots where the ball doesn't connect with the flipper until it's about 2/3 of the way in it's rotation yet the ball still flies up the ramp. IRL only on the rarest occasions would the ball go up the ramp (and even then, only barely). In this, the ball flies up there just as fast as if it was hit while it was against the flipper. If that makes sense. It sucks, because it heavily negates the need of needing near-perfect timing to hit the ramp. It seems near-impossible for the ball to only go part way up the ramp if it's via the upper flipper (and only then, the timing has to be REALLY off for it to do so. There's a large window for a mistake with the flipper providing that much inertia to the ball). Hope it can get fixed, because then we'd be seeing scores closer to what real machines exhibit, where anything 6m and over is an achievement. For now, I think it's safe to say we'll see scores of up to 20m in a few days. [/QUOTE]
