Does anyone know how to slow the fastball down? My friends and I used to have epic battles (close to 100 runs for the winner). After cleaning the machine, we struggle to score 50.

The big culprit seems to be an extremely fast fastball. I don’t know if my playfield is too slick or something went wrong while ai was messing around with the playfield. Does anyone have any suggestions? We had a lot more fun when more runs were scored. Thank you

I’m pretty sure it’s a pitching issue! The fastball is ridiculously fast after I cleaned off the playfield. Seriously, you almost need to swing right when the pitch comes out! I don’t believe the angle was changed at all.

1 other question.... how often can you guys throw out a stealing base runner? I’m about 2 for 50. None of my friends has ever been successful when playing each other. It almost seems unfair. Is this “to be expected”, “a setting that can be changed” or “possible issue with the throw out runner button”. I’m the only one that has ever thrown a runner out. I have amazing reflexes. Comes from working with special education students for 15 years!

Quoted from MrSanRamon:

There is a setting for stealing in the menu...I haven't adjusted it myself but it is called "Liberal Steals" and there is a number to adjust.
From manual: A.2 06 Liberal Steals
The operator chooses how easy "Steal Bases" occur until this feature will be made "hard".
The choices are:
0 = (conservative) Start hard.
1-50 = Wait 1-50 (liberal) steals until being hard.
My game is set at 3, I think.

Thank you very much. I appreciate it.

Does anyone else have the problem with the pitches being too far outside to hit. I haven’t moved the machine, but, lately, the pitches have been way outside about every 3rd pitch. This seems to be especially prevalent with my fastball. It has led my friends to be less willing to play the game because offense has gone way down. Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks!

Quoted from Arud85:

Just joined the slugfest club and in the process on cleaning it up. I noticed that a few were having problems with pitches going off to the side and are unhittable. While I was starting to take things apart and test all the functions I saw that my playfield plexiglas was slightly lifted at the pitch flap. Once I pressed down on it the pitches stoped going off to the side and seemed to function properly. Once I take it all apart I'm going to see if I can flatten it out or secure it some how to the plywood. This was more or less a heads up post for someone looking to try and fix that problem. I'll post again once I finally fix it but it might be a while until I finish

Thank you for the reply. I’ll check it out.
