I think there is some variability in the "pinsetter."  Sometimes I see that the pins aren't lined up right.  I don't get good shots then.  I think Pogo added a fickle pinsetter after a couple months just to lower scores.  I know my grreat shots weren't working so well anymore after that.



IA. Pogo has changed the game quite a bit. I played for the past 2 weeks, paying close attention to my settings and to the game itself and there were many frames in which the top scorers would ALL get a Spare.. After getting 6-7 Strikes in a row.

Seeing that happen with ALL of the top players in a full room convinced me that Pogo has definitely messed with the game.
Also, when a shot is programmed in to play exactly the same setting every frame, and gets Strikes consistently in one game, then in the next game gets several Spares or even 7/10 splits occasionally, it HAS to be a Pogo thing and not a Backspin thing.

I think I got more spares than strikes with Amanda's shot but they're both great, thanks for the hard work you guys.

I've downloaded 3.8 and love it but have a few comments:

Using the Hook shot:

1.  I got 6 strikes in a row and then a spare.
2.  After the spare I got a split and second bowl missed them both all together.
3.  I then got a 8/1 round.
4.  I then got a spare plus 9 on the 10th round.

Will try the Amanda this time.

There's a screenshot link and post here back in June (I think).  I use only that hook shot and have gotten 4 300 games and almost always high 200's

Incredible! I also use only that shot, and now it's programmed variant.
The  screen shot  you are referring to has the exact settings ( along with the numbers which are displayed when the shot is made) of the ORIGINAL " Amanda's Shot" as it was submitted to BH.
The shot was slightly modified by the programmers at their discretion for better gameplay on more computer systems, but still should be getting scores in the mid 200's for most users.
I can consistently get scores in the 280's with it on a new, fast computer, and also using an extremely fast cable ISP.
On an slightly older PC with a slower Celeron processor and a lesser quality graphics card, my scores vary widely from frame to frame but usually even out to be in the 180s to 210's at the end of each game.

BTW, what do you think about this? Valid observation or not?
I was in a full tourney room experimenting with shots for many hours last week, and I believe that POGO has programmed the game to somewhat influence shots. For example, I and a couple of other players in the full room of excellent players ( or excellent cheaters) had 6 consecutive strikes.
Next frame, ALL of the top scorers on the first page of score displays got a Spare.
I think, but cannot prove, that some of the reliability of play is out of the player's control at times.

GREAT post. The SS you are referring to is as close to perfect as I think we can ever get.

To get a new password you will need your receipt. It should be in your paypal history.
