Right btw the flippers

[harken23]

EVERY time (on the free table) the ball comes off a ramp or out of a ball locking hole (dunno the terms), it fires the ball straight at the gap btw flippers, and straight out, and it's undefendable. It also seems to default to the left or right drain alley WAY too often. It saves a lot of balls for you, but I'd rather play the game myself than rely o whatever it is that makes the game save the ball for you. Is that how all the tables are? I've pretty much lost interest in the first one, after maybe a dozen games.

I've noticed this as well. My solution is to simply hold the left flipper up while the starting ball is fired. It's not this way for every board though, but it is really annoying.

As someone else has said, I'd rather play the free space cadet one that came with Windows XP (I think it was). It was at least enjoyable. I could care less about the physics being "real" or "accurate", if the game isn't, you know, fun.

Fixed that for you. Also, not the complete game.

I love pinball im not good at it but ever since i was a kid in the arcade the pinball machines art always took to me and this game feels so good i am trash at the game! AND I am also having issues with the ball due to the flappers but i was just assuming that was a skill issue tbh as im a noob lol.

Play the Captain America table from Zen. For some reason you can play that all day long without draining... hehehe
