PS3, No Good Gofers, game version 2.11
During multiball, I had two balls trapped on the left flipper. When the third ball in play came in contact with the trapped balls, all 3 balls fell directly through the raised flipper and into the drain.
Edit: Less than 10 minutes after writing this post, I had a second ball go directly through a raised flipper in Gofers. The second time, there were no trapped balls involved. Just a single ball falling directly through the leftmost part of the raised left flipper during a trap attempt, into the center drain.
Edit: More detail:
After playing another game on Gofers I can elaborate on behavior I think is related to this glitch. When attempting to trap a ball with either flipper by holding the flipper up, sometimes the game behaves as if the flipper surface is completely horizontal instead of angled upwards. This behavior only happens intermittently but it happened several dozen times in one game.
Example:
The ball is coming down from the left inlane and contacts the raised left flipper. Instead of rolling up towards the tip of the flipper and slowing down due to gravity, the ball rolls directly to the right from the point where it touched the base of the flipper. This puts the ball partway "inside" the flipper as it moves towards the tip. The ball moves towards the tip faster than it normally should, due to rolling along a level surface instead of an incline. In some cases it is still possible to trap the ball when this happens by nudging. After flipping the ball, the next time the ball touches the flipper it usually behaves normally. But if you play long enough, it happens again eventually.
