site coding

I've noticed that when going for a strike...the pins fly around, some landing right back on the alley making me spare.  I lost a tournament due to this!!! so which ever site designer took some "artistic license" went a bit too far, IRL bowling pin's don't go flying...they fall! also even when using full power and with good ball placement in Arcade bowling some pins seem to teeter at the edge of the lane...did site designer make the alley 10 feet tall??? Make me wonder what the 75.00 I paid is worth to Cases

Re: site coding

In bowling, the animation of the pins simulates which pins were likely to be knocked down. For example, it's physically impossible to knock down the middle pin without knocking down the front pin. The simulation includes sets of pin combinations a player is likely to see in real life. However, the system checks which pins have actually been hit based on the physics of the throw.

That being said, we do acknowledge there is much room for improvement to make sure the animation of the pins matches up with which pins have actually been hit or not, and we will continue to make tweaks as necessary. Thank you for your feedback!
