Quoted from TigerLaw:Well, it seems like the general consensus is:
We only need two things (1) an easier path to DoD MB, and (2) a real skill shot.
These requests are not many. How can we let Stern know we want these? Would Stern care?
How about an earn-able extra ball that isn't random?
Rob
Quoted from Baiter:How many other games created in the last 5 years are more relevant than IM and have incomplete code? (Ignore those released in the past year... Stern always takes 1.5 years after release to complete code)
Is this a trick question? 
It's probably all of them except for MET which is the rare exception to the rule.

Quoted from libtech:Yup needs a better skill shot, a super skill really hold a flipper button and it drops the top post and you have to make the right loop or ramp. Would be awsome.
I like how the super skill shot is in MET. You can plunge it all the way around for an playfield shot, or soft plunge to hit the top rollovers with a multiplied score.

Quoted from HoakyPoaky:Might as well revive this thread perhaps Stern will finally take notice
I agree the code is great but could just use a few tweaks to make IM an all-time classic...
SUPER SKILL SHOT: Hold left flipper, disable orbit post, hit lit arrow for Super Skill point bonus. I've become so used to holding down the LT flipper when plunging, that I still find myself doing it on IM. This is a no brainer.
EARNABLE EXTRA BALL: With how hard IM is, it's crazy that you're not able to earn an extra ball via gameplay. Random EB rewards are just pure luck. There should be a way to earn one.
LEADERBOARD SCREENS: It would be nice if there were leaderboard screens for say Fast Scoring, Bogey, WM/Monger/Whiplash Multiball champions, etc. The more leaderboards the better.
If they made DODMB slightly more achievable that would be nice, but I also like the thought of "white whale"modes like LOTR Valinor. You may never achieve it, but it's something to keep striving for.
Iron Man scoring could be tweaked? Isn't it about the least lucrative of the 3 target modes?
DODMB difficulty settings would be nice. I never even bother thinking about going for this mode. But, it seems to have no dots?

Quoted from J85M:I don’t have a lot of time on MET, could you give some details? Thanks
Metallica:
You can do a regular, simple skill shot like IM where the ball stays in the top lanes
You can do a super skill shot by holding the left flipper, the ball goes around the left orbit and you make a shot on the lower playfield
On super skill shot, you can also soft plunge the top lanes and get a multiplied score value. Left lane is 2x and right is 3x (I think).
I usually try the soft plunge.
