    Oddly, I'm sort of backwards...

    On location, I'll restart. I always figure that my time to play on location is limited, and I would rather spend an extra $0.50 or even $1.00 to play a decent game on location and get further in what I'm doing instead of sit there and spend time trying to salvage a horrible game. I always feel like I'm on a clock at locations.

    At home, I never restart. I figure I am playing the way I would have to in a tournament, and I'll set myself little goals after ball 1 and 2 to try to maximize my points. To me, it's a great way to play

    Quoted from CosmosBandit:

    Interesting. I see that "game restart" is enabled in the service menu but when I hold down the start button for like 30 seconds after the first ball nothing happens. I'll have to keep trying to see what happens. As an IT PM soft and hard restarts are relevant, with soft obviously being better for hardware lifecycle and software stability. Something to consider..............

    Make sure it serves ball 2 first.

    So wait, you drained balls one for both players and then did it?

    It *should* work, so long as it says Ball 2 on the DMD. My Metallica and IM both do it.
