PBA Pro Bowling 2026

Love this game. Not only great graphics but an extremely challenging simulation

awesome

As a long time bowler, it was pretty fun playing around with different ball and oil pattern combinations. I find it a bit addictive so the announcer voice overs got pretty repetitive over time. The only thing that would make it better would be if the bowler was going through the approach as you control the shot. The timing feels a little abstract.

*** IT'S SPELLED A-L-B-U-Q-U-E-R-Q-U-E *** If you enjoy bowling casually or in a league, pick this up on sale! Current sale is 75% off, making this a no-brainer at $10 bucks. Overall, the focus of the game seems to be breadth, not depth. The game provides a large variety of balls, locations, and games while keeping you from getting lost in the weeds. I think this game hit the mark it was aiming for, but I also hope someone puts together a bowling sim that you can really dive into. Full review: Admittedly this is my first foray into virtual bowling, but the simulation of the pins is great, the oil breakdown an interesting mechanic, and the gameplay is pretty dang fun. It's not trivial to throw a 300, but also not out-of-reach. The thumbstick controls are a pretty decent at introducing minor variability to the swing to keep you focused. The balls are very... un-detailed. There's a large variety of balls included in the base game, but they are all graded on a single "hook" scale from 0-10. No Rg, diff, or surface details are ever shown to the player. I haven't messed around with the game to know whether or not the balls have different cores or not. The graphics are not great, …

The character customization is horrible. Don't expect anything special there. The music is decent. The accuracy is fantastic. Pay attention to oil Pay attention to each character if you play in a team. It's worth the discounted price when on sale.

graphics - 6/10 Ball and pin physics - 9/10 sound and atmosphere - 8/10 so far my biggest complaints are graphics being so bad that theyre distracting, and not being able to see my career bowler actually throw the ball, i selected 2 handed bowling style and it shows third person view of my opponents approach and release, but I dont think theres a way to watch my own third person view on my character.
