    Just had my first decent game of FH since I did the playfield swap. At one point I had the extra ball from the mirror, the extra ball from the gangway awards, the extra ball from the steps, and an extra ball from a special award. I usually set my specials to extra balls, but sometimes I put them back to factory.

    I don't know if this is the most I've ever had stacked on any game, but it's the most on FH.

    What's the most you've had waiting and on what game?

    BSD is my Fav- 4-Stacked multi-ball action !!!!!!!! Coffin , Mist and Castle -- 4-ball Hell ,

    He means extra balls B_R, not mutliball stacks.

    Mine would have to be WW. I've had at least 6 stacked on that game before.

    8 stacked in one ball on FT. I love the game but did not want to play it again for over a month after that.

    Just limit the EB's per game to a # youre comfortable with.

    Holy crap, I'm sitting here trying to figure out how to get that many?!

    On one game of Champion Pub I had 4. All of them immediately drained. Within about 60 seconds. It sucked so bad.

    I had four on DW . . . only three at one time though; got the fourth during the last one. So I guess the answer of stacked at once is three (which sounds very un-impressive when reading this thread . . . I need to go adjust my settings, LOL).

    TZ is fun with them. Wish TFTC had them.

    Smassa I am a firm believer that if you can achieve them then you earned it regardless of how many that means. It is one of the first settings I change when getting a game. No limit to EB ever that just seems wrong to me.

    And this is one of the first settings we change for league play...extra balls turned off.

    Really comes down to what the game settings are. Most fac settings will not allow more than 4...??? I think games that are great for stacking Ebs are T2, STTNG, TAF, FT...

    I never understand why fate works this way.

    If I am playing and I win an extra ball, it seems that 75% of the time one of the following occurs:

    A. The Ball In Play that scored the Extra Ball drains within 15 seconds;

    OR

    B. The Ball in Play continues normally for a reasonable period of time AND THEN when the Extra Ball is up - it drains immediately. Happens on all games - even with a ball save feature that one then also drains.

    In other words one of the two balls might as well not have existed.

    I never understand why my pinball karma is so awful with Extra Balls.

    I had 5 on my 3rd ball in rbion last week. That was by far the most and longest I played that game.

    In our league we refer to this as 'the curse of the EB'. It sure does seem to happen a lot.

    I can't remember the exact number, but on a particularly long game on Cactus Canyon I think I had 10 extra balls or something ridiculous like that. It was a 2 player game and the game literally lasted for nearly 2 hours. I don't think I've played that game since...

    For me it's Whirlwind. I can usually rack up about 3 stacked on a good game.
