Same a little over a week ago! : )

I've only played a couple games of the real pin so I can't speak in terms of physical gameplay, but in Pinball Arcade the scoop shot is relatively safe to go for from either flipper, so it's just a matter of going for nothing else for 44 shots and keeping as much control as possible... but that's the catch really. Since there's very little score in doing this, and because trying to land the same shot 44 times in a row is boring and tedious, the mind wanders and it's hard to keep it up without messing it up or losing your timing, not to mention there's no significant reason to try for it other than the challenge of it. : P

(Well, maybe the +25x bonus multiplier you get, but that only matters when you're having a good ball and tons of bonus racked up.)
