[QUOTE="switch3flip, post: 214125, member: 2036"] In real life, on some Addams pins you can backhand upper ramp from cradle and on some you can't. Ball rolls off flippers lots of times on a real Addams pin, with less momentum, I can guarantee you that without a doubt. What IS wrong in Pinball Arcade is how the ball has too much speed when coming from inlane to flipper after ramp shot, it should lose much of its speed. That is a problem on more tables, like Dracula. However, lots of things are incredibly easier in pinball arcade and you have techniques to stop the ball that don't work in real life as effective, AND most importantly, [B]in real life all pins play differently and are set differently, there really is no exact definite[/B]. Heck, the same pin is a lttle different from day to day! You have to learn every individual pin. Not even in PAPA tournaments. The pro tips for a tournament is generally to ask players who played this pin "how does this particular Addams behave?" Questions like "will the ball stop on cradled right flipper after a bear kick ramp?" is a question to ask. Flipper angle is just right on TPA. [/QUOTE]
