Message: <blockquote data-quote="JPelter" data-source="post: 240794" data-attributes="member: 623">That's completely irrelevant since it's not a permanent change to ball trajectory. The whole point of this conversation was why TPA nudging is unrealistic because you can curve balls out on the open playfield. You can't do that on a real machine.Let me set up an example to illustrate this.You have a ball coming straight down from the bank of ball targets on big shot, and it's going to hit the outside of the slingshot triangle. This will always send the ball straight down the outlane. If you nudge a real machine while the ball is out on the open playfield, the playfield will shift slightly under the ball, and it will shift back. The ball trajectory stays constant. You have to time the nudge so that the shift happens exactly as the ball is about to hit the top of the slingshot triangle. That way the triangle will move just a little bit to intercept the ball at a different angle, possibly bouncing it upwards or inside towards the flippers depending on how hard you shove.This isn't what happens in TPA. In TPA you can make that nudge at any point while the ball is falling and the actual ball trajectory changes.</blockquote>
