When you start the standard multiball, one of the balls (usually the first) Rudy "spits" out often goes straight down the outlane. I'd say this happens about once every three or four times. This (apparently) never happens on the real machine.

That has happened to me quite often. If you just nudge before it gets to the outlane you will be ok. I usually nudge just to be safe. Sometimes it's hard to tell if it will hit the outlane or just miss it.

I have the 360 version, and it happens all the time. It never happened on the Android version, but I didn't reach multiball nearly as often on that platform, due to the finicky controls.

yeah, i believe you

the thing is, i think i usually let the first multiball (the one that rudy spits out) drain anyway, so i can focus on the upper left flipper to get the trapdoor 2m... besides i have better control juggling just 2 balls for the next trapdoor jackpot(s)

Maybe. But in TPA, it happens all the time! Annoying.

Whether it's a bug or not, just let the ball go. Save your tilt warnings... you have a much better chance at racking up million plusses with just two balls anyway.
