You probably have some stuck playfield switches

Yes, it can.

You need to find any stuck playfield switches if you have one or more stuck. Remove the playfield plastics if necessary and check to see if the rubber rings are pinching the switches closed because they are gapped too close. Take the rubber ring off and adjust the switch with a switch adjustment tool so that it stays just slightly open after you put the rubber ring back on and test to see if closes and makes contact by gently putting a little pressure on the rubber (like it would when a ball hits it).

You can turn the machine off and slip small pieces of paper between the playfield contacts to block them to narrow it down by pulling the paper one by one after you start a game.

If you don’t have a switch adjustment tool, order one from Pinball Resource or Marco Pinball. An absolute necessity for EMs. Don’t use needle nose pliers or anything else.

Definitely start there. That’s the simplest to check. Also, if you can give a little more detail about when and what happens when you play a game. For example, you start a game everything resets and when the ball kicks to the shooter lane you hear a chime and a buzzing noise as one of the point relays sticks on. Check to see if any of the point relays are sticking on when this happens but don’t wait more than a few seconds or you can burn up a coil. The point relays should be labeled and most likely in the backbox. It’s also possible that a switch on one of them is gapped too close but I’d start with the playfield switches.

Does Player 1's 10 point score reel solenoid try to advance?
If yes, then it isn't opening its end of stroke switch.
If no, then likely the switch on the 10 point relay that moves the 10 point score reel solenoid needs adjustment.

I don't have the schematic, but the next step would be to hot wire the 10 point score reel solenoid to see whether full power can activate it.

Good thinking.
