Nope, certainly don't score 300s every game, I've actually never gotten a 300. Straight down the middle doesn't mean it hits every pin. But seriously, go try it now if you're close to your Wii. Have your back to the TV or be facing any direction and swing your arm and there is a very good chance that it will go right down the middle, maybe curve a bit. I honestly think people are tricked into thinking Wii Sports is more accurate than it really is, I can tell when my family is playing, they make all these odd bowling stances and such, and they work, but I doubt any of that is making a difference as long as you swing your arm, which I consider a flaw in something that's supposed to simulate real life movements.

Really I do want you to try out what I said and come back here and honestly post what happens. Doesn't position your Mii at all before swinging and tell me if you ever get a gutter ball.

 


It doesn't matter which way you face... it doesn't use the sensor bar or anything to determine where you are throwing the ball. It uses the tilt of the controller to determine spin and/or curves and such, and the force behind your throw to determine speed. Also, if you don't think the bowling game is pretty realistic, you should probably talk to some actual bowlers. I know two bowlers (my dad and my friend, both were in leagues), and both of them kick ass at bowling because they know how to bowl well, and can do what they do in real life. I won't say every bowler would say it's realistic (at least not 100%) but it does, at least as close as possible, recreate what you would do in real life. And that's a lot more realistic than any other console can do.
