I have a Back To The Future pin (first and only one). Haven’t played in several weeks as I’ve been busy but after stepping up to it tonight I feel the game is now completely different.

Not only am I not making easy shots, but the ball is draining way more than ever I would average about 3-4 million points a game but I can’t seem to even get past 700,000. It’s very bizarre.

I know flippers get weak and parts wear out but can it make THAT much of a difference? The flippers are still making ramps, so they are still powerful enough. It really feels like an entirely new game.

It’s very strange...

Yeah that’s a good point. I’ll have to pay a little more attention. I noticed my flipper rubbers were a bit worn so I changed those out but that didn’t help any lol. Maybe I do just suck all of a sudden!

This is NOT a slight difference though...for example, my clock tower kicker is now draining DIRECTLY down the center, it never used to do that before. I cannot for the life of me make the left ramp shot anymore. I am sure everyone here is right, and it must be just me as everything seems to be ok with the game (flippers seem powerful enough, etc). But i'ts just amazing how different it plays all of a sudden. Im also not really a pinball guy, I just have this one game so I don't really have anything to compare it too...its just..odd.

Just learned about flipper bat alignment, and it does seem they are slightly off center. Will try adjust this and see it it helps put me back on track!
