Could people who can hit the scoop consistently please post a picture of how your flipper bats are aligned?

Thanks from a sucker who cant hit the scoop.
I aligned to the points like i do all my other machines, but I THINK it should be lower to hit the scoop.

So please guys (who can do scoop shots like a sniper) post dem bats!

#11802 1 year ago

You can align the flippers however you want and still hit the scoop. Just takes practice. The stock alignment of these flippers is the tip of the flipper pointing straight at the hole in the playfield.

Absolutely no complaints about this game. As an added bonus, I would love to see a Co-Op mode option. Should be fun to play along with family and friends at times, especially in the home.

My guess is it has less to do with your flipper angles, and more to do with your playfield angle. I keep mine at 7 degrees and can hit it fairly consistently.

We are now live with the Godzilla tutorial. Don’t be shy, ask questions.

2nd this, the lower your pitch is, the harder wide shots are

#11809 1 year ago
Quoted from mcvetyty:

Latest rules are amazing, love how this game keeps getting better... That said, I am still **really** hoping for some UI adjustments before 1.0.. Specifically,
1. Your status in terms of tanks/Kaiju battle/bridge progress/power line should ALWAYS be visible on the screen. There should be an overlay with this information on all videos, etc... Something on the right side of the screen similar to JP would be perfect.
2. In addition to the above, this information also needs to be visible/accessible during city select. It's very difficult to make a strategic decision on whether to stay or leave a city without this information.
Keith/Rick, if you're reading this please don't let Stern release 1.0 without these quality of life improvements!!

YES! I agree with all of this 100%!! Game is awesome but does lack a little in regards to providing status info. Your suggestions are spot on IMO.

My Premium didn't make it to the freight location in time to get on the truck today as expected. Going to be a long weekend. So close, yet so far.

Some crazy people rent a truck and pick it up from the freight location. Just saying that might be an option.

#11812 1 year ago

Has anyone had an issue with the screw holding the newton magnet plastic on? I've had mine pop out a couple times, I assume from the high amount of impact / vibration that area gets. I usually just screw it back in and it's good for another ~100 games or so, but it's a bit of a pain. Any solutions? Anyone else have this problem?

No issue like that here. Maybe add a little locktite? I heard loctite can eat away at plastic so be careful if you do, unless there is a plastic-safe version. Maybe a very tiny amount of super glue on the thread would work, too.

#11814 1 year ago

Own a pro and lost that specific screw for the plastic ! (I assume you mean the lower screw closest to the ball ?). Don't know when it fell out and I can't find it ANYWHERE in the game cab / playfield / etc.

Any ideas to what the specs are on the screw so I can get another one ? I couldn't find specs in owners manual....

Quoted from newovad:

Haha true -- but I already paid extra for liftgate/residence delivery so it'd be throwing away extra money twice to attempt it. Patience is my virtue this weekend I guess.

Right, it's the screw closer to (above?) the captive ball. I'm unfortunately no help for the specs since I'm not near my game, but I can tell you it's small and black if that helps at all...

not that crazy. saved me $300 (assuming you already know somebody with a pick up truck or large SUV)

Love the oxygen destroyer ball save. Just like the million dollar shot in NBAFB!

Did you check the cabinet speaker? Whenever I can't find something it tends to be stuck somewhere in there...

Yeah it reminds me of the Goldeneye Eject or Die shot as well.

Quoted from jandrea95:

Agreed, made me miss the building on the premium just a little bit less. Very cool code tweak on that multiball.

Same here. I opted for the pro even after I played the premium and also played an LE. I just preferred the flow of the pro.

For me the $2300 upcharge for the premium wasn’t worth it. Just crazy cool how fast code updates are happening and how much it improves each time.

Will be difficult for Elwin to top Godzilla.

Hey - anyone else have Insider Connected not show gameplay after 0.97 update?

I got in only one game last night (2.4B) on new code after updating and I'm 100% sure I signed in, but when I checked my insider account today, it doesn't show any gameplay for me yesterday 6/23.

Hopefully just a onetime thing. I won't have a chance to play anymore until the weekend to check for sure.

I would suggest using a glue that stays flexible (unlike crazy glue). Place a small bit of glue on the 1st thread of the screw and then screw it back in. It should stay in place, and should be relative easy to remove again when necessary. I've successfully done this before with pb screws (using Goop Automotive glue).

Something seems odd. Last night I played a game and got about 2.9B. After I played I logged in and saw that score posted on the Stern Worldwide Godzilla Leaderboard. Now I just logged into my account and checked and that game from yesterday doesn't show up. It says my last game was the 22nd (2 days ago).

In fact the Stern Events leaderboard seems to have changed somehow. When I just clicked on the Stern Worldwide Godzilla Leaderboard several other leaderboards for AIQ, DP, GOTG, IM, LZ etc. now also showed up, and the scores on the Godzilla board (not the verified location board) seem a lot lower than they were last night.

#11830 1 year ago

anyone else having issue with the skill shot behind the left flipper not registering? I've hit it 3 times since updating to 0.97 and it doesn't trigger. I'll go inspecting switches I guess but I just want to make sure since it seems like a coincidence they were mucking with skill shot enables (I don't think this one counts as a secret skill shot, though, and i have secret skill shots enabled anyway)

I do need to put more Godzilla play on my Youtube channel, but I have a short Rage Combo clip:

And plenty of "Big Game" videos of AIQ and other games!

I just played a game and that game score is now showing up on the Stern Events leaderboard, but it's not showing up in the stats for games played on my machine. That page is still saying my last game was 2 days ago even though the score of the game I just played posted to the leaderboard.

#11834 1 year ago

Tutorial is up to watch on-demand. Starts with a nice terror build-up and cash out. Highlights include a 700+ million carnage collect and a 270 million bridge mb. The latter gave me the opportunity to show why you focus on jackpots in GZ mb or the second tier 2 battle. I’ll do another one tomorrow morning around 9 eastern if there is enough interest.

Looks like the leaderboard is still wonky with most scores missing... I was in the lower 20's with my 3.7B from a week ago, but it's gone now. Hopefully they get it sorted out so I can make a run at improving my place this weekend!

Maybe Stern is setting up other leaderboards and don't have it quite right yet since the other games are on there now. I do like the leaderboard concept, so looking forward to what they have in store for us!

Caught the beginning of your stream this morning, very informative. I'll be watching the rest later for sure. Thanks for doing this!

#11837 1 year ago

Strangely, I’m on .97 and my Pro doesn’t do the 3 ball sticks to magnet thing at the beginning of MB. I had previously reduced the power of the auto-plunge but I put it back up to factory and it still isn’t doing it. Anyone else having an issue?

How do you have access to seeing the leader board? I have a pro account but I am not seeing it

#11839 1 year ago

The new Godzilla Multiball on the Pro is awesome! When I had my first MB w the new code, my scoop eject power has been turned down so the balls never hit the magnet. Once I turned it back up it worked awesome.

Such a cool feature!

From your Insider Connected Homepage, choose "Stern Events" and then you can see the links to the different leaderboards they currently have running.

This snip is from a PC, the layout is a little different on Mobile, but same links to get there.

Thanks for the help ! I looked AGAIN... and lo and behold.. it was underneath the coin box ! I will go on record that it was NOT under the coin box last week nor anywhere else I looked (including in the speaker !)

Confirming that it is black and VERY small; it has been re-installed. I'll monitor it to decide if I should use the excellent glue idea to keep it in place...

Hi @TheFuge, take a look at these as it will make it so easy to adjust your flipper angles. Gone are the days where you have to lift the playfield to do it, and have three hands

#11846 1 year ago
Quoted from Richard-NBA-SF2:

Hmmm, do they work!?

Yes they do, very well in fact. It's more than just replacing the plastic flipper bats, its an independent flipper and shaft system, they aren't molded together like the flippers that come with the game. A little something neat for the pinball community that hasn't been available before.

This is immediately what I thought of when I saw the update! Such a fun idea and so satisfying to hit!

Technically not true, Modder swinks created interchangeable kits after Ghostbusters came out and the flipper spacing was a bit too much for some players. Your kit is truely a drop in solution, whereas swinks you have to tap a couple holes, so that may not be for everyone, but his products are simply awesome as I have my fair share and I can't say enough positive things.

I am considering purchasing your product as I think the quality, fit and idea of color options is awesome. Just wanted to share the other info.

The stream was great. Highly recommended! After watching, I doubled my prior high score.

I won't be able to watch live, but would definitely watch afterward if you decide to do it.

Thanks again.
