Quoted from Masspinballfan:

I personally found the game to be ridiculously easy with the posts intact. As I mentioned the ball stayed in the inlanes almost every time. The only way to really lose it was between the flippers.
The game play went from very simple to extremely challenging but in the end like most game set ups it's a matter of personal taste.

All the posts surrounding the outlanes have two adjustments, conservative or liberal, which when adjusted will change the likelihood of the ball draining or not.

Quoted from Masspinballfan:

When I removed the posts I didn't see another set of holes for the liberal/conservative settings like I've usually seen in other GTB EMs. A buddy of mine was playing an EL Dorado and told me there were no Outlane posts in that game with obviously the same p/f layout. That was what got me thinking about making the change.
I tend to like games I own to be very difficult anyway to avoid boredom. With it set up this way you have to consistently nudge the game and shoot accurately or the game will end quickly. It's easy enough to insert them again if I change my mind later but I'm liking the much more challenging and difficult play.

You're right about there being no outlane post on El Dorado. I assume that because Solar city is a multiplayer and resets after each ball they put in the post to make the game play a little easier. Certainly no harm in taking them out and making it more challenging.
