[QUOTE="Slam23, post: 55837, member: 896"] Nice addition samtny! I have hit the right ramp by accident a couple of times during multiball and saw some other DMD animations than I'm used to in regular play, so I kinda wondered what that was. I did know about "super mode" that you can get to with about 12 right ramp shots, that can give some nice regular play scoring also. I can establish a rhytm of consistently hitting the right ramp, but misses can cost you dearly, more so than shots from the right flipper. Maybe a small addition for "Move Your Car"-mode: I find it most (time)effective to dead-pass the ball from the right to left flipper when it returns from the jet bumper area, and then hit a quick moving shot up the center lane. Cradling at any flipper takes precious time of the clock and cradling right has it's own risks as mentioned above. @Advalle: I mostly use live shots to KISS but in multiball I cradle before hitting that shot because I want more control. I find live shots more easy btw. I'm surprised at how much I like this table. I played a version in VP but because of the transparant ramps that are difficult to make, it didn't play well. I like how it has some more depth than meets the eye at first. It may have benefitted from tying isolated modes such as "Move Your Car" into a deeper ruleset in which it would have been a prerequisted mode for reaching multiball, or conveying some kind of delayed benefit towards the total game and scoring (for example giving 12x scoring, surpassing the max 10 from the rollovers). That would have been a nice incentive to steer away from only going for multiball/jackpot/SJ. I still think games like LOTR and TSPP are superior in that respect. But I find myself still playing for better scores, even after reaching 1000 HOF points for this one. [/QUOTE]
