Quoted from OnTheSnap:Any advice on completing modes? They are seriously tough, and I feel like because they are so tough I tend to ignore them when trying to score well. So maybe they are too tough.
I feel like I’m making progress in my strategy and scoring. Breaking 300M and finally getting one taste of Cyber MB. But I feel pretty DOA on the modes because of difficulty.
Short timers, hard shots and lots of them.
I can increase the timer I guess. A little bummed that modes are secondary for me.
Pretty much I go for trooper and mummy asap. Focusing on the center safer part of the field. I go for loop jackpots. Especially during ball save since a miss can get the ball going sideways. Also during ball save I go to lite revive ASAP.
But I love modes. In my DILE I can complete any of the modes. In IMDN they seem 10x harder.
Advice? Yah I’m a novice. So there is the fact I suck.
My suggestion would be to spend a few hours and not focus on playing the game, just work on learning the shots and hitting them with consistency. Start a game, and start with the shot you have the hardest time with. Shoot nothing but that shot, and continue doing this until you are hitting it at a percentage that is acceptable. Don't look at the path of the ball, look at where the ball is on the flipper when the shot is made, kind of like a golf shot, keep your eyes on the ball. When you start hitting the shot with accuracy move on to the next shot. Practice isn't exactly the most fun thing to do on a pinball machine, but it will make you a better player.
I play my Iron Maiden with the original factory settings (except I have the replay set to 300M instead of 150M), and the tilt is pretty tight. I like a challenge, and it helps when I go play on location to have a game that is set up similar to the games on route.
