OP
Quoted from denoument:
Why do so many games put targets in the center of the playfield when they just increase the chances of random ball drains? Intuitively targets make more sense on the sides and ramps should be in the middle. Did some pinball physicist determine the opposite?
Just curious what other people think.

Quoted from SKWilson:
The answer to your question is in your question:

That's the sucker shot. You need those points that center targets provides. But it is a high risk shot so you have to be on your toes. Bedsides the ball speed rebound with those short shots is what keeps you coming back for another round of adding more coins.

Quoted from SUPERBEE:
F14 Tomcat is a good example. You want to relight the ball save ? Take your chances and go for the center targets. Its all about risk/ reward. I think it makes for a better game.

Three is that sweet spot. If a game is too difficult you won't enjoy it very much. If it is too easy, you will tire of it in 3-4 hours of home use.

F-14 is a great game for the home. Tough, but since you own, affordable to play
