1. Correct, the letters indicate how much the ball with spin/hook. However, that does not mean that the A+ ball is better to use than the F ball. It just grades the spin.

2. Throwing into the red usually causes the ball to be thrown off target. If you are barely in the red you might not be able to tell. A hard throw is not needed to throw strikes – watch my video in post 99.

There is a problem with the music selection. If you either have either no music or corrupted music on your PS3 and select change music then you cannot get out of the loop you find yourself in without restarting completely.

I love the game, I had to jump through all sorts of hoops to get an American account working (its still not released in the uk) so I could d/l it to my UK PS3 though, why on earth do you make it so difficult…

Apart from that, give an option to get rid of the voices and I’ll be happy.

Two questions.
Can some-one explain what the B, C ,D etc is on the balls? Is it how good they are at spinning?
Is there a downside to throwing the ball as hard as possible? I see that the lane goes red, but it still seems to go straight..

This (Online Play) has to be a must for HVB!!!!!

Also want to reiterate my happiness with the in-game custom music though the characters voices are just disrupting my music! Anyway, Great feature though and I’m sure you will find a solution to turning the character voices off!

My first Idea would to actually be able to create a bowler. Every bowler had to start somewhere and weren’t a decent-pro bowler when they first started. Plus in the bowling scene, beginner bowlers are at a very high rate so I’d love to see a create a bowler mode (With possible PS Eye capability to further personalize your character).

Second Idea, along with the Create a bowler idea, there would have to be some training mode where you can build your skills.

Third Idea, I think some of the associations of bowling should be added in the game, like ABT(Amatuer Bowlers Tour, http://abtbowling.com/ ) for bowling tournaments and such . Also I think the game should have Plaques, just as Trophies and Patches are in the game.

Just a thought, but thanks for making a quality bowling game. I truly love how the game captures the bowling swing and approach.

Thanks for the reply. I was wondering about these features as well.

@ turning off character voices
This was something we talked about during development, but couldn’t find a good way to implement it. We’ll see what we can do.

We’re working on something…I can’t make any official promises, but keep an eye out.
