During Multiball Starman the spinner sucked up one of my balls to the middle and never let go of it. I couldn't nudge it out


I actually thought it was pretty cool to get the ball to "hover" like that in the middle. I thought it was a nice trick when I got it to spin there for 10 full seconds once. But I never had it actually get "stuck" there (yet)!

It was amazing enough when the ball would do this in the real arcade table. I would tense up because it was most unpredictable at that point. The ball was about to shoot off in an unexpected direction, usually shoving it down the outlanes, or straight down the throat, between the flippers!

Therefore I've made the tilt propties to a more generous settings, Peter.

Regarding the ball capturing during multiball. Of course there's a small propability during multiball at this trigger settings. You caught the right/wrong tiny moment, Sabbat
I'll try to find a solution although it is just a bit tricky to bring about the same situation.
