The playfield pitch on this Tron machine is very steep, making soft plunge impossible
high confidence · Jack Danger directly states this observation during gameplay
“This game came out in 2011, and it's right around the time where Stern sort of started making better machines. The quality for a while was diminishing, and it's like the James Cameron's Avatar and Tron eras, like right when the scale tipped over to them, starting to build them sturdier, build them better, make them nicer, cooler themes, cooler shots.”
Jack Danger@ 2:33 — Assessment of Stern's quality trajectory and positioning Tron as part of a quality improvement era
“There's two multiballs that I primarily shoot for. Eh, three. And that's Cora right here... And there's Light Cycle, which is pretty much all the shots. And whenever you have a multiball lit up, one of these arrows will be lit.”
Jack Danger@ 7:39 — Explanation of core gameplay mechanics and multiball stacking strategy
“Also, the game being so steep, it's impossible to freaking soft plunge.”
Jack Danger@ 32:22 — Technical observation about machine setup affecting gameplay difficulty
