: Most strategy guides which I saw contains information like : these: What do you must do to start any frenzy/multiball or : How to get an extra ball. Except that also some tips like : catching the ball. I know it's very important ,but except : these things is one more very important thing: How : enable time drive safe. It's mean don't risk ,don't lose : the ball if you can't hit the ramp quite well on Timeshock! Well, the simple fact is that the ramps are SUPPOSED to be risky. So the answer to your question is... you cannot power up the time drive safely. No risk, no reward... :) : or what do you must do if the ball back from the upper : ramp for example. These thing can happen. I had many : times that situation when the ball back from the upper : ramp and escaped by right outlane. Is very important to : find the moment when you must nudge the table but is : question which one side and which one moment. I still : talking about Timeshock! ,but alike situation can happen : in all pinballs. This is second side of success ,because even : when you can hit everywhere and you lost control on the ball, : the ball can escape and you will not reach good score. I know Sigh... YOu just have to learn to judge. It's not something that can be spelled out in instructions as in "okay, right when the ball is here, press upward nudge for 146523 milliseconds" Human reaction times arent that exact. You just have to LEARN. there is NO substitute. But one way to make ramps easier to hit is to play in a higher resolution, and a lower viewing angle. this provides you with more room for error on those shots. BUt not if your computer can't handle it. ALternatively, you may want to play at minimum resolution. that way, the engine may have to tweak itself just to make the shots hittable at all and this may make it easier. Also, it will be a lot easier to use the upper flipper in 2d mode.
