[QUOTE="switch3flip, post: 176124, member: 2036"] Oh, I misunderstood, when you said points on table, I thought you meant when you hit a certain score. There are most definitely preprogrammed paths that the ball will take, off flippers up ramps and so on, that is true. True randomization is impossible to program and there are lots of situations in tpa where at least some more artificial randomization could improve realism, like kickouts and so on. So you are right, there are more or less scripted repeated ball trajectories happening all the time. However, that doesn't mean they intentionally are meant to go to an outlane, some just do and those are the ones you notice. They are easily predicted when you learn the repeated pattern and most of the time easily avoided when you learn how to counteract them (nudging at certain moments for instance) or avoid shooting certain shots from certain angles. Some of these predictable behaviours can also be exploited and can totally ruin a recreation of a table. [/QUOTE]
