Quoted from KingVidiot:My scoop eject is default.
Here are two 100% repeatable strategies to get the ball on either flipper from the scoop.
1. Do nothing, and let the ball dead bounce off the left flipper and catch it on the right.
2. Do the same as step one, but raise the right flipper. The ball will dead bounce off the left flipper, hit the tip of the right flipper, then bounce back to the left.
Mine is set factory and behaves similar to this - but not quite:
1. If I do nothing the ball normally bounces off the left flipper, hits hard enough on the right flipper/bottom slingshot post to bounce back over to the left, but the ball doesn't hit high enough up the left flipper to really make a catch/controlled shot then.
2. Do nothing but hold up right flipper, bounces to right then back left again usually can then catch on the left flipper or make a fairly controlled shot. Sometimes a little inconsistent.
3. Hold up left flipper, get a very consistent bounce to a easy controlled catch on the right flipper, or at worst rolls a little up the inlane and may have to make a slow rolling shot.
4. Drop catch on left if already cradling on right or just really need to be sure you get a quick left flipper shot, as option 2 sometimes doesn't work out well enough for a fully controlled shot.
Kinda seems to me that nerfng the eject power is a bit "unfair" unless yours is doing something really unintended like missing the flipper or kicking so hard as to get into the slings all the time, etc. Managing and controlling the eject is part of the gameplay. But the adjustments are also there to tailor your game to your tastes, so...
