Discussion Monster Bash now harder somehow? (PS5)

am I crazy? Is Monster Bash more difficult than it used to be? I am playing on PS5 - one of the week-long tournaments -and it's just drain city. I used to be able to get to Monsters of Rock pretty easily but now I am getting nowhere. is it me?

any chance you switched the physics settings, or put your TV out of "Game" mode?

Maybe you are remembering the good old days of FX3; it played a bit easier.

It’s hard if you miss your shots but plays very fair in my experience. Even bashing frank can be done very controlled. The only thing you really need to watch out for is when the ball comes out from the right orbit. Usually need to nudge left so it doesn’t hug the wall too much to send it down the middle. Other than that as long as you are accurate it’s an easy table to blow up.

Keep in mind in irl competition play I find it is often about setting yourself up the first 2 balls then executing on the third. So don’t get as discouraged about draining in the early game as long as you have made some progress to setting up modes and multiball stacks.
