Thanks a lot for the list and your time!

Just wanted to clarify in case this wasn’t answered, that this is simply not the case and not true at all.

What happens after two rings is, it’s harder to get around the world multiball to start.

Rings 1-2, if a ball dribbles into one of the four saucers at random, will light up the plastic dome above the saucer, making it easier to start around the world multiball.

On rings 3-4, you have to roll into either the left or right inlane “in the paint” (by ramp makes it easiest) , then you have a couple seconds to hit the left or right orbit shot to start “pass the ball” mode, to manually light all 4 saucers. A random fall into a saucer out of this mode will not light up the saucer beyond two rings, thus making it more difficult to start that multiball and not allowing “trophy multiball”

Hi. I bought this game about a month ago. I just noticed that the pop bumpers that count the power hoops dont roll from ball to ball, so every ball I have to start over with three point power shot after 23 pop bumper hits. It just started and now cant get to a ring mode. Also the in the paint at the left ramp doesnt register anytime my ball rolls over it. How do I fix that. I am a newbie to this hobby and want to learn. Love the game. Thanks

Just joined the club a few weeks ago. Bought it from a fellow pinsider.

Adding this pin has now Filled my new Gameroom Wall of Pins!!! I'm glad I got this game right now instead of World Cup Soccer . I grew up watching the Bulls during the Jorden/Pippen/Armstrong years while playing NBA JAM. I'm in the honeymoon phase right now.

I noticed that I have intermittent weak Plunger strength. Every now and then I would hit the shoot button, but the ball would only travel 1/2 way up and back down... It would take a 2-3 attempts. The immediate instinct is a faulty coil... Anyone experience this and can tell me their solution to this problem?

Hello everyone,
Looking for some help with a very basic question for someone who is very inexperienced. Thought I would ask the question here first before calling a pinball tech. On my NBAFB my left shooter stopped working. I noticed that a wire has broken off. Is it as simple as re-soldering it? I attached a picture. Thanks in advance on any tips.

Yup, strip that wire and solder it back on.

Yes

Has anybody seen a plastic for guard in front of the hoop. Im missing the guy that blocks your shot on the bracket. Also during ball launch the ball flys off the ramp is there a guard to keep it from jumping up in the air off the launch

Been scratching my head on the lamp matrix being all out of whack for 3 days now and figured it out. Can anybody tell me why in the paint 2 and 3 were missing the diode for the lamp. Checked it out and seen 1 and 4 had a blue butt connecter tied into the wire with a diode crimped into it. Looked up on marcos and seen they sell it like that??? Can anybody take pics of under there playfield.

I am pretty new to pinball and pinside, but I couldn't find anything on this topic, so sorry if it has been discussed before...

Has anyone ever tried/thought about modding the code to this game to update the "TRIVIA" section with new questions and answers for present day NBA stats? I have a background in coding, but no experience with how to mod pinball code, but would be happy to work with someone on this. I think it would be pretty fun to update based on present day players/stats/etc

Could even change some team names: Vancouver -> Memphis.

I feel like if you could search the code for "Vancouver" and do a global find/replace with "Memphis" it would work?

Similarly, if you found where the trivia questions were stored in the code, you could just replace all the text/multiple choice answers for each trivia question with new ones.

You need feedback from the Pinball Browser creator/users. I believe that the code is in a compiled state (binary) only in shipped form like other software. For Pinball Browser, the music files could still be identified in the compiled format and replaced wholesale file for file same size. Not certain that the trivia would have been objectified like that, meaning an easy file swap. Maybe if the trivia was resourced for multiple languages it would have been set up that way, as resource files, but as such, English only, probably not. I am just an outsider looking in, just my 2 cents.

I don't think pinball browser works with rom based games?

You could try editing some using a hex editor and test in pinMame? I think they have a checksum so not sure how much you can change before that fails.

Could somebody shed some light on how this plastic attaches with a pic

My game doesn't have that plastic.

I think that's just a keychain.

Yeah, I have that and figured it was for keys.

I thought it was for keys also until i seen this pic and questioned it.

Im running the same version and do not have that issue

I had 3 different shape and colors for the 3PT targets so i just soldered in new orange ones. Purple was not available but im going to be putting on cushioned target decals that are orange so its not that big of a deal imo. Thoughts?

Very nice machine.

I replaced my purple targets recently, and they were challenging to find. I think the orange look good!

Can I ask that someone with a NBAFB game to see if their sling switches made a double beep when activated during game play? I have a limited game set, with a modern stern and an AFM Remake only, so can't test that. Been doing all sorts of troubleshooting.

I have the coil disconnected so you can hear the beep easily in the video link below. You can hear it with the coil on in normal game play. It's not that audible, but gets annoying at ever hit.

Thank you.

Hi Guys need a little help with a bizarre issue on this game.Me and pinsider Kredmore(his post right above mine) are trying to figure out the slingshot tone/sound are correct or not... Thanks Mike

Where'd you get the side blades?

Have you checked the spacing between the nodes on the switch. Maybe it could be making double contact if its sticking or to tight.

They arecustom made by a fellow pinsider vbobrusev

Never noticed this sound on mine

Thanks russdx i'll let him know

I am running two head to head with the latest rom, and both of them DO make this sound.

Just put in purple led flipper buttons. They def can get bright but look way better in person. Strobe, pulse,intensity, and solid with each one being adjustable.

Looks alright but I think orange or red would have looked nicer as it would work with the theme a bit more.

Sounds the same on mine id say normal. Just a funky sound effect

Thanks Fellas I really appreciate it!!

yes, thank you.

Was replacing the flippers yesterday and noticed this was cut off. Should be a C shape. I tried searching but didnt have much luck. Anyone know the part number or replacement thats equivalent for this thin metal piece that acts as a spring back.

20191230_175937 (resized).jpg

Hey Garret
Williams part number 01-14348.1 spring-flipper switch.
Wally

Why do they use x2 opto? Is one a backup?

Thanks for the info

One opto is for upper playfield flipper and second one is for bottom playfield flipper

i have few extra side decals for Fastbreak. Also topper made by myself for garretswinning

Got cushioned target decals put on the other night. I believe they make a noticeable difference.

Could you post some pics? I could be interested.

What pics would you like

What are the odds of getting Color DMD on this title? In 2020?

Would really like it, but haven't heard anything lately...

In fact, I work in software, so reached out to see if I could offer my team's help for the NBAFB ColorDMD updates. Never heard back.

It's official.

Heh, figures after I just moved my ColorDMD from Star Trek (since I'm selling it) to my Demo Man. Looks like DemoMan is going back to an orange DMD. Looks like the ROM is being released on Friday.

I really gotta go get an nbafb now lol It’s next on the list for sure.
