[QUOTE="switch3flip, post: 127369, member: 2036"] About nudging, it definitely is not cheating. In fact, it's the original way of playing pinball. The earlier pinball machines didn't even have flippers, you were supposed to nudge the ball into different paths. Take a look at the EM tables in TPA. The flippers are smaller and the gameplay is much more about nudging. Then the whole TILT system incorporated in pinball. You have different settings as to how sensitive you want the table to be. You get a set amount of warnings before you tilt, which on some tables even can be rewards. Like on Dr Dude, you can get an extra tilt warning as a random reward. And another thing about trapping. It sure takes away some randomness out of playing, but in the long run pinball is much about statistics. What are my shot percantages for this and this shot, and what are the rewards. Very much like poker. You could try and go for a royal straight flush every hand, but you don't have to be a genious to figure out that is pretty stupid. Some people would call trapping boring and some would call it smart and sophisticated. [/QUOTE]
