Do you restart a game after a lousy ball?

[nuclearkevin]

I restart it every time. I use EVERY opportunity to get as many extra balls as I can while I play!

I restart...

i mainly do it if I'm chasing a goal, or going fora really high score.

In real life i ALWAYS play it out, just in case get that match or have a big comeback and get my replay.

Really? You mean you don't unplug a machine you just dropped money in? Well I'll be...

A bad ball one means i don't have enough focus to get that high score.

In real life that replay matters a lot more so i go for it,and ten make my attempt at the top score next time.

Why doesn't this forum have a 'like' button anyway?

No. Each ball is another chance to practice getting better at making shots. There's literally no drawback to playing through a crappy game if you are playing casually.

Do you restart a game after a low scoring ball? Or do you play out the credit?

No, I've never done it, and I've never been tempted to.

To me, that's cheating, and it's not pinball! When I win a high score, I want to know that I really won it, and didn't get it by cheating. I have my pride.

I hate that I restart my games in such cases, but I can't stop myself.

I never do it either. I've had quite a few games where a crappy first ball turns into a hi score.

The adage says "The Third Time is a Charm"

Paragon,
You pull the plunger the bounces off 2 things that don’t give points
Then the ball drains,
Then you pick the machine up and smash it in raged ander.
Yes I restart.
TY l like restart.
Sometimes you break phone too.

We never got to see the gooche
I’d like too see how tough he was

For the past week I’ve been playing a lot of paragon.
When you have a good game or get a wizard goal, it is so satisfying

I didn't at first but then you get a great 2nd and 3rd (etc.) ball, thinking what your score could have been if not for that lousy first ball. So yeah, if it's not a new table or trying for some "one ball" wizard goal, I'll just restart the game. One-ball wizard goals are not only the "score xx points on one ball" but also where the table resets your progress at the start of every new ball.
