I have my TWD game set to no tilt and I have to shove the game around alot to have a decent game, otherwise I get tons of SDTM shots. Frustrating as hell. I don't mind a hard game but it just doesn't seem fair that the ball get trapped by a magnet then just goes SDTM. Not fun.

Since i have to shove the game hard to have a decent game, am I at risk of the legs bending?

Awesome. Thanks!
I was concerned that Stern cut corners on the making legs less durable like everything else they cut back on these days.

No because it holds the ball for like 5 sec, then lets go and it falls straight down. Sometimes it jiggles it, most times not and the flipper trick usually does not work. The only other thing to do is disable the prison magnet. What I do now is give is big shove right when it lets go of the ball. Total pain in the ass but otherwise it's SDM.

Honestly wouldn't put it past Stern. If it saves them a quarter, they'll do it.

I never had to toss a game around ever. All my other games play great. Never had a game ever that did a SDM like this.

Yea I think I might try that route. I wish they would have fixed this issue in the software. At least for mine, it doesn't.

That's why you need to give a good shove now and again.
