[QUOTE="Zaphod77, post: 195342, member: 2101"] preemptive nudging is how you deal with outlanes in real life. a nudge as the ball hits the slingshot will get it to fly higher and miss the outlane. the left outlane is set extra easy on TPA's TAF, which makes left outlane drains rare. if the post were moved up some there would be more of them. the right one is ALSO set easy, but that doesn't seem to help much if you don't nudge. actually most of my troubles are power drains down the right outlane out of the bumpers. the bear kick ramp is on the kind side of bear kick rejects. many real games will guide failed ramp shots straight down the middle. Real TAF is much more vicious, though the power is actually kinder on most then TPA. everything but the power or the bumpers is your own darn fault, though. TAF is very fair in real life when working right. as for railroad bounces off standups, i've suggested many times that rebounds off of standups get a slight amount of randomization of angle. perfect pool shot rebounds off of a standup is NOT realistic. they deform after the shot and rebound a lil differently next time. it IS more realistic off of a drop atrget, but drop targets rebounds are more sensitive to velocity.
