Cyclone and JackBot should be fun. I'm not a fan of Black Knight. What do you guys think of the selection?

All good tables. Black Knight is a little too glitchy for me though. Lots of time lost recovering stuck balls in the upper lock.

Is there a way to change the balls in the tournament? I usually use the smiley face or zebra because they appear more defined against the table tops. During the previous tourneys, whichever ball I already had selected would carry over.

Good selection of tables, though. Good luck all!

You just answered your own question. Just gotta go into the table thru 'my tables' first. I refuse to use the original ball! Good luck in the tourney everyone

Actually, I did. But in the tourney mode, the balls remain silver. Anyone else experiencing this?

Probably a catch all for the new TAF balls not being used in a tournament. But I agree that visibility should not be a factor - I wish the custom balls would increase visibility even more

It's like being on LSD playing this table. The ball occasionally floats off screen or through the table.

the ball flying off the table and the 3rd lock not working at least half the the time has made for some pretty frustrating games for sure. Everyone else having these glitches with BK?

All I know is there's a lot of people that have more patience for dr dude than me. At least I've figured out to do a half-plunge. Espescially for starting multiball. My aim must be off for the mixmaster. It always is for the ray! At least when it's must needed. But then right after, I'll hit it twice in a row on accident. Cyclone's been kicking my butt to. That table is evil. Dr evil his mini me, cyclone

Black Knight is one of my least liked tables. I forced myself to play another game today and I shot the lock for 3rd ball 10 times in a row. It just released it and score 5k or whatever. I decided to drain that ball. On the next ball I was able to lock it on the first try. Usually it seems about 50/50 if the 3rd lock works, soft shots seem to have a better chance. Even when it's working I think it's pretty terrible. Just flail during multiball to score decently and then relock when down to 1 ball... And those sounds? Blipping timers for drop targets all over the table.

Is there a timer for the ramp on Dr. Dude? Or do you mean you miss it when it's lit for jackpot? I don't think I know the rules too well on that one. Complete the 3 light thingys to advance the beam, then string together ramp shots during multiball? I got it to the highest dude level (super dude?) and shot the ramp loads of times, but I don't think I got any more points for that than any regular multiball on the other dude levels. Gimme my gazillion dammit!

I love Cyclone :) Very nice gameplay on that table! It's a great feeling to hit the Comet many times in a row, and getting the 2M shot is so sweet.

Well even when you have the 2x playfield at the end of every multiball. It's just like, what can I even do that's worth points besides just starting multiball again. There is the 1-2-3 reflex shots. All I know is that it's worth pretty good points but if have to look it up. Still just seems like it's multiball + mixtmaster all day. Oh and those targets on the right = good, wish I knew more about those.

I think I kept missing the mixmaster because I came straight from plowing away on cyclone. Dr Dude's flippers are stickier or something. So I kept hitting the red thing on the side of the ramp. And then I figured I'd just come back to it later. Didn't play it very long. I'm gonna blame it on that anyways

Outlane draining was surprisingly nice on dr Dude. I think I got over 2M from that on a single drain?

That's one big 'big score' ;)

I have noticed that too though. That those outlane drain scores seem pretty generous, cause it's not like it's the bonus. Any idea what builds that 'big score' outlane drain?
