[QUOTE="151120, post: 42788, member: 1523"] On a real machine, you can use nudging for a lot of different things. One thing I do often is, if the ball is coming at a slingshot, it's possible to increase or decrease the force it will hit with with a nudge on one side or the other. Also, depending on how much you want to increase or decrease the ball speed, you nudge harder or softer. Another example would be keeping the ball in the pop bumpers with nudges if you want it to be there longer. And of course preventing out lane drains (or attempting to) with a side nudge. The new Wizard of Oz machine even has a toy at the bottom of the left out lane (or a bumper I think, hard to tell) that by nudging the machine you can make it spit the ball back out into the playfield. Nudging from the bottom like you mentioned is also a great way to influence the ball--but not possible on TPA. Sometimes you can find a machine with a very generous or even non-working tilt mechanism. I recently found a fairly beat to hell Roller Coaster Tycoon at a St. Louis pizza place with a broken tilt. Good fun :) [/QUOTE]
