I agree with some other reviewers, each update seems to make the game less fun. I too have been playing a long time but have only managed to get balls upgraded to level 12. Makes it difficult to compete on higher levels. Add to that taking away the challenge of the day which was the most fun part and the fact that you can't even beat someone throwing level 3 balls on a level 4 alley when you are throwing level 12 balls at the same pocket they are, I think it's finally time to find another game.
