[QUOTE="ostrich2, post: 58598, member: 2177"] I have also encountered this issue - actually I can get it quite regularly - it's only a small proportion of the number of times the ball goes up into the gumball, but on a long game that's over a couple billion you're pretty much guaranteed to hit it at least once in my experience. I also believe I hit it once on just a regular load of the gumball (not when starting powerball multiball) but I'm not absolutely sure of that. Since it is mentioned above that a fix in the works hopefully this will clear up - I will mention just for the record a couple of other things I noticed - one is that a couple of times I've seen the camera not move at all when the gumball goes up, which probably is a manifestation of the same underlying issue (although at least it doesn't cause any real problem for gameplay when it happens that way). The other is that I wonder whether this problem is also related to one I've noticed on several tables (not just TZ) where the table seems to lose track of where a ball is, even when it's no longer in play or stuck somewhere that it's not going to come out of (as is also indicated by the fact that calling the attendant fails to acknowledge the ball as stuck). When this glitch happens, it seems like the table has lost track of the fact that there are other balls in play that should trigger the camera to return to its standard position, and once unfortunately your balls inevitably drain and a new ball appears at the plunger, the camera returns to the proper position, it's as if something has triggered it again to move. I'd still want to have a closeup view of the powerfield for just regular single ball Battle The Power up into the mag flippers - for single ball I find it does make it a lot easier to get the ball up into the target with a closer view of the field.
