Brandon & Team RAMROD, Great job on this game! Also its wonderful that you guys take the time out respond to question and comments, unlike some other forums.

Suggestions on character: Hippies
Suggestions on alleys: I know you got alot of these request already but, a 70’s theme would be wicked… anything like Foxy’s alley with the blacklight and maybe add some disco balls & laser lights would be awesome. 1 more idea on this, I would love to bowl on the moon or the sun. lol

And it would be nice to play with 3 or 4 friends even if you could not use the mic. You guys have the perfect option for that, more than 1 opponents, play some music then…. I LOVE THAT FEATURE! Keep up the good work

4 player games for online and add team-play as well? 2 on 2 would be okay. 3 on 3 would be better and 4 on 4 would be PWNAGE! More trophies added to the mix to support team play, add some stat tracking, online team leagues (3 and 4 player team leagues) and this game’s popularity would just about multiply itself by 11!

Not to mention that they have so many characters now (about 15 now…?) so team play is the obvious next step this game should take. PLUS, if they want people to be interested in buying the other characters, make it so the people that DIDN’T buy those characters for only $0.99 can see what they’re missing…meaning show the character in action while making the shot. Of course, that would mean a huge update to install the characters to the game for all the animations and voices (maybe), but they’d still have to pay the buck to unlock them for play. They could charge for a Team League Pack update with new trophies added ($9.99 suggested for the Team Pack add-on and maybe $14.99 for a bundle for those that ain’t got it yet) and team leaderboards, averages, favorite character data and all that good stuff.

I love this game, but there are some serious flaws in the online system. I tried to play a friend online and it failed to syncronize. We tried 12 times and for some reason, you gave me 12 “losses” for games I didn’t even get to play. Also, my rating went down 100 points because each was counted as a forfeit. This makes 14 “losses” on my record and points taken off my rating now for games I didn’t even get to play. I will take a real loss if someone beats me, but this is a serious flaw that needs to be addressed.

I love playing HVB, but what you really need badly in the game is more 16lbs A+ bowlers like Hiro in the game. I would love to see 5 or more that you could buy, but then would have to beat in the head up challenge by rolling a 250 or better.

Just got this game last week and I love it. I’d vote for the online tournaments and midnight bowling. On another note, I would like to know why on Sunday when I logged off I had 14 losses and when I checked my online stats on Tues, it showed I had 16 losses and my forfeit % was way up. I have only forfeited 1 game ever. I don’t know why you gave me 2 losses for 2 games I didn’t even play. Is there any way you can check on this and see what happened?

Putting this on a seperate post so that it can be deleted if not appropriate.

I am looking for bowlers to join an online league. If interested you can message me on the PS3 (Jackmouve). There is a singles league already running and a Team league in development.

Interested players can register at VirtualSportzCenter.com, this is not a pay league or site,just a site that I pay for and run for fun.

First, great game! Blows wii bowling out the water. I am a league bowler (I suck though around 145 avg) and I bowl about my same average in this game, nice. We play is at work events and in an online league.

Suggestions:
I love the goofy characters, but how about some regular characters for the black dude that doesn’t want to play as the stereotypical “Ghetto Hood Rat” all in fun, I get it, but sometime we get into some heated matches and it hard to maintain the intensity with my dude crip walking up the lane… LOL How about Create a character or some basics white dude and gal, black dude and gal, latino and asian and such, maybe call it a free “Ethnic Diversity Pack” or something :-) Also how about lobby chat (text) or custom lobbies, though if the reason that it’s not add is that you don’t want this game to turn into a chat room, good move. Also, how about Playstation Home support, maybe launch from home and maybe even import avatar as bowler. Just some thoughts…

My apologies for not addressing this concern in your last entry. Our rating system is set up in a way that best represents your skill as a player as you play from match to match. We felt that the end user would be more excited about improving their rating even if only by a few points. What is not built in is a class system around the ratings, which is why you are probably not seeing a jump in rank. Quite simply we made the decision to focus on the immediate reward rather than the long term reward. Having said that, this is certainly an area we are evaluating, but as it stands we are pretty locked into this system. I hope this makes sense.
