HVB is the best game I have and can’t go wrong for $10. I haven’t been able to connect for two days. All other network functions including PS Home and other online gaming work great.

Brandon, I suggest a “whiteboard” system that would list outages scheduled or network outages so those of us that love the game will know when we can play online. Just something that will keep the fans informed of problems.

I’m 56 yrs old and I purchased this game and all of the add on bowlers about a week ago and it’s great!

I haven’t been able to get a connection to the Playstation Network today or last night, but I can connect to it on other games, is there a problem or is this a normal occurrence?

Thanks for a great game at a great price and I’m looking forward to new additions.

Hey gang,

This is a “me too” post in every way possible.

1st: Great game! This is one I always come back to play, especially when I have friends over. I also work with 3 other PS3 owners and have convinced each of them to pick it up.

2nd: Online multiplayer for more than 2 people. Yeah, yeah you’ve heard it a bunch but I just want to toss in my vote for it, even if it’s in a High Velocity Bowling 2.

3rd: Playstation Home… Another fan favorite, right? Just putting in my vote for it. A space would be cool, complete with all the HVB Bowling ambiance, but game launching by itself would be really nice to have. Shoot, maybe Sony would let you set up shop in Home’s bowling alley. You can play Home’s little freebie game, or step into the back room where the “grown up” bowlers roll. Even if you couldn’t get a whole space, a leaderboard in the arcade next to the alleys might help drum up business, especially if you could launch the game right then and there. Since it’s a PSN game anyway there’d be no disc to insert.

Again, all stuff you’ve heard before but I wanted to get my vote in.

Seems as though I am not the only one having connection issues. Help on this would be appreciated.

Well done! This is a really cool game. I love it!
Your implementation of the Sixaxis is great.
The spin was a little strange to start with but really cool to get the hang of.
I think if the spin was done with the motion of the Sixaxis & not the triggers it would be very hard for non gamers (like Granny) to get to grips with. The ball would be spinning with every shot. Good choice!
The graphics are spot on. The characters are really good. The sound FX are also spot on. The DLC is cool. Well worth the money!

One problem though! I’ve just tried to play my mate online and it keeps saying ‘ATTENTION A connection to the PlayStation Network cannot be established at this time’ on both our PS3’s.
I’ve just went through the PS3 update to see if that would help with no luck.
Any suggestions?

Keep up the good work guys!

Oh sweet deal! New characters and Players. I have a few questions to ask though:

1. Will there ever be an update with more trophies, or at least a Platinum Trophy?
2. I’ve noticed that pins tend to shift if they’re not knocked down, but the Pinsetter doesn’t set them in the right positions. They are still in the shifted position (not centered where they are supposed to be).
3. For future DLC’s, can you add a way to know what balls are added? Ie; “There are 6 balls in this pack: 2 F Balls, 1 C-, 1 B, 2 A-” I haven’t bought any of the ball packs because I only like to play with F balls and I don’t want to spend money on balls that I most likely won’t use…

Other than that, keep up the AMAZING work and the support you are dishing out on this game being almost 2 years old! Great job and can’t wait for future patches, bowlers, and balls!

Great family game!! The use of the motion sensing controller adds realism…something the Wii cannot do. My seven year old daughter loves the new Tiki balls!! Keep up the awesome work updating the game!

I wish I could give you a definite answer on this, but I can\’t. The next major step for HVB would be to improve the online experience, and the thoughts are certainly there. Unfortunately there isn\’t an easy button for this one. Several steps need to happen before something like this is carried out. Thank you for the kind words, and your support.
