Hey all,
So I would like to get this game at some point, but there just isn't anywhere local that has one so I can put more time on it first.
It looks like you need to hit the SIM card shot to finish a mode and progress on to the next which is fine - but how much truth is there to the fact it's near impossible to hit skillfully (more like luck) resulting in a design flaw.

I would hate to have a game where you couldnt progress due to a flaky shot design resulting in more frustration than fun.

Appreciate the insight.

Does anyone know if the shooter eject protector is the same one used for MM/AFM/MB - at a glance without taking the apron off, it appears to be (Square hole)

I finally have this game "Dialed In" the way I like it and thought I would share a few things in case it helps others.

Leveling the Game
I screwed in the feet all the way flush to the legs on all 4 - and it was darn near perfect at 6.5. I made a few back and forth trips under the machine again to raise up the rear right foot until the theater magnet would stop releasing the ball back straight down the middle for cheap drains. The game is still level from side to side, but this is the one tedious adjustment I recommend doing

Left Orbit Shot and Flipper Strength
There are a few things I had to deal with here, and I created most of the problems on my own. I had thought the main flippers had a bit too much droop initially and I decided to raise them up a bit to be more square with the rails - this was a mistake and the result was a limp left orbit shot most of the time that would dribble off into the pops.
I put the flippers back down a bit (see pic below) and that seemed to help some, but still it felt weak on some shots - mostly right flipper shots to the left ramp and again the left orbit.
It turned out that the leafs needed some adjustment on the flipper switch to make contact at the very end of the button press, but the main issue was that the flipper shaft itself was not gapped correctly. The pawl was up too high and it was binding a tad on the bushing (essentially there wasn't enough up/down play on the flipper if you pulled the bat from the top)

I finally settled on putting my flipper strengths to
Upper Right - 16
Left - 21
Right - 23

Result is that every shot is hit smooth and with power, including the left orbit (when you hit the shot solid of course) that brings it back around to the upper right flipper

Theater Magnet
I'm on 1.73 and have the Magnet set to -90 and also using the TEST LAB setting in Game settings

I realize every game is different but wanted to share. I can't believe how much better the game is playing now, it's like night and day and flows amazing.

I'm hoping the next code update includes new disasters such as:

Hand Sanitizer Showdown
Toilet Paper Riots
Stock Market Mayhem
Tony Pepperoni's Toilet Wine Challenge
BOBs BombShelter Bonanza

Honestly the drone thing is not worth focusing on.

1. They will fail due to their inherent design in a short amount of time
2. They spin so fast you can't even tell they are doing anything while playing

What is your game leveled at pitch-wise?

I have had this happen a few times, ball search is initiated on the game, ball is stuck behind the raised bob trap in the orbit.

My first thought is to go into coil tests to move the door, but it only seems to raise it, not lower it.

My only solution has been to pull the glass, get the ball free back to the trough, then when you start a new game it lowers the bob trap.

Am I missing something?

Thanks I'll check it out, it's odd that once all balls are accounted for and a new game is started it closes without issue.

Thanks so much for the detail,
So it turns out I was only testing via the coil test, not the device test which actually has the raise/lower option.
I'm still going to grease it up as it cant hurt.

Mom Jeans are back in style - that stonewashed denim could never stay out of the fashion spotlight forever.
I'm almost done with my latest mod which is a pair of 64" waist jordache jeans pulled up over my front legs and a pair of white new balances put over the feet.
My only hang up is the orientation, do i face the jeans with zipper towards me or the back pockets, the shoes would obviously need to follow suit.
