[QUOTE="MisterVercetti, post: 246658, member: 5443"] Once you get the extra ball, it stays at 70k until the ball drains. On your next ball, it skips the EB and goes to 70k, then goes to Special after that. Yeah, FarSight made some weird rule adjustments on this one. For example, on just about every on-location EBD I've ever played, the C and D lanes are linked (so that getting one spots both), yet here they're separate, which makes lighting all three bumpers a frustrating exercise in luck (since the ball's just as likely to head down the left outlane as it is the C lane... it seems the D lane's a little more friendly). Also, just about every other EBD I've played remembers your DELUXE progress so that, if you drain before spelling it, the letters you already earned stay put the next time you hit all of the drop targets. Here, it's back to square one each time (again, making getting the backglass DELUXE more difficult than it needs to be, since it's already hard enough to spell DELUXE in a single game even with memory on). Neither of these truly breaks the game, but for a collection that aims to be as true to the real-life tables as possible, it seems weird that they'd use settings that almost nobody IRL uses. [/QUOTE]
