Bowling by Jason Belmonte

this game is so addictive and i love it. these are things i think yall should add. 1. a loft setting, so you cant really loft consistently so i think you can add a loft button in the setup portion of a ball and set how much you want to loft it so it can be consistent. 2. custom oil patterns, once you get to level 50 or 100 or something like that you could scroll to the end of the patterns in practice and there be a new custom pattern button and have you put all of the measurements/features of the pattern. 3. abralon grit pads and polish to make your ball hook differently, add that button into the setup portion of the arsenal as well as the loft button. 4. live scratch tournaments where you can bowl next to other players and see what they do in real time. 5. different bowling alleys so the back panel isnt the same old bland one with the patterns name but have a cool design or have something like at real bowling alleys. 6. pattern burn mode. in practice have a switch under the pattern that turns on pattern burn makes the pattern wear out and transition over a 3 game series. 7. non pay urethane ball. right now the only urethane ball in the game is a paid ball, if you added the 78U, and made it worth gold or blue tokens in the shop that would be really cool. 8. ball vote. every once in a while have a vote between 3-4 balls that arent in the game and what ever one wins add that ball to the game. 9. different ball layouts. another section you could add to the setup area is a ball layout button and move the pin on your ball to make it do different things. 10. branded shoes, like sst8’s and 3g’s to just spice the game up and have the cool details other games dont. again i love this game and i would love to see these things be added.

I have been playing this game for many many years, going back to September of 2017. I have had to restart upon getting a new phone, because of this, it wouldn't login to my original facebook account. It locks you on an account once signed in. Upon restarting, I realize that new players start with absolutely nothing. Forcing you to have to pay to get coins in order to even compete. No one should have to do that. So thats the first issue, its not new player friendly whatsoever. My second issue is the bots you play. There is absolutely no reason in the world they should be averaging 200+ every game when the player average is a 160. This makes it to where you only lose money and its not like you are even giving it to another player, you are giving it all to a bot that is programmed in here to have unlimited coins because well they are bots. Once again there is no reason whatsoever they should be averaging 40+ pins higher than your actual average. Im halfway tempted to just give up and find something better because I'm not spending money on a game that is so expensive just to level up attributes like smartness and strength. If you dont believe its a problem, I’m now level 27 and upgrades are already costing hundreds of thousands of coins (700k for instance) All and all this game does not balance well at all with in game purchases and the amount of coins you can make. Please fix these issues and make this game great again.

This is flat out the best bowling game on the App Store. Realistic ball motion, (almost) realistic pin action, and the plethora of real-life oil patterns available are the big upsides of this game. With that being said, there’s a few things that I would personally change to make your arsenal/bowling style a bit more unique. I feel like you should be able to take away skill points you’ve added to the strength, speed, and smartness skills. As a bowler myself, there are plenty of times where I have to slow my ball speed down to play a certain pattern correctly. I do understand that we can swipe slower, but it is near impossible to repeat shots that way. I also feel like upgrading those categories shouldn’t cost any in-game currency. I feel like once you level up, your reward should be leveling up your speed for free. My next “inconvenience” is the fact that we are limited to brands of Storm (hopefully we see 900 Global stuff soon!). I know plenty of Brunswick staffers that would love to be able to train with their own equipment. I do understand that this is bowling by Jason Belmonte, not bowling by PBA, so it’s obviously not a dealbreaker for me. All in all this is still my favorite app on my phone and it’s a fantastic training tool, and an overall fun game!
