Having an issue I hope you all can help with. My GOTG is set to free-play, but most of the time when I hit Start or the Action button to start a new game, it immediately has a mode selected and I have 2,040 pts. Switch testing seems ok.
Any ideas?

Quoted from bobukcat:Sounds like a similar problem to what tungsten78 reported and was resolved by doing a full update of the code. Did this happen after a code update you did?
duhhh, I'm an idiot. I guess I could take a second and actually read the post above mine.
Thanks!

Update: I fixed the problem.
The root issue was a screwed up drop target, which was actually creating 2 problems. The orb drop target was not always resetting properly (i.e. it wasn’t staying up when it should have been). Because of this, when a new game was started, and if it didn’t reset properly, the drop target in the lower position would automatically select a character and give me 2,030 points. This flaky drop target would also occasionally machine gun at time.
I took the drop assembly out and put some washers behind the flat plastic piece that acts as the ledge for the raised drop target, so it sits out a bit farther. As a result, the drop catches much better in the raised position. Both issues seem to be resolved.
There is a video on YouTube of someone doing the same thing to the drop target in Star Trek.
