OP

Quoted from Gentax:

So I'm overall getting better but there is this weird aspect of my gameplay that drives me up the wall.
That's getting similar outcomes despite radically different methods and strategies.
Example. I never get to active more than 3 missions in Mandalorian. It is always three (never more, rarely less) Despite trying these different methods of p[lay
1. ONLY gunning for missions
2. Playing and shooting freely
3. Splitting the difference.
It always get to three missions being activated. I can succeeded the first two missiosn then get 3 ball outs, I'll drain out twice before activating one then get all three on the final ball. I can get 2, get an extra ball then game over before the third etc. Every single combination of play, not matter how well I shoot its always the same outcome.
Someone suggested to go for encounters and as such I can never get past the third stage on the first encounter and its the same thing. I'll have different combinations of balls, progress etc but the one consistent is that I will never break my threashold.
I don't understand how this keeps happening and it is a source of frustration for months. How can I change how i play, add in the randomness of pinball and varying degrees of success yet STILL I get the same results over and over again. This is a pattern that hasn't been broken by...
1. Playing differently
2. Taking time off
3. Grinding/practicing
4. Playing other machines
I feel like I've tried every single aspect and nothing is getting me out of this pattern. Any extra insight in this really weird hyper unique issue I'd be super thankful for
