The player can play exhibition mode or league mode.[2]
The player must choose the weight of the bowling ball.[2] The lighter it is, the more force the player needs to make a strike. Players can either participate in a short tournament or a long tournament, which determines the number of bowlers that he plays against.[3]
There are six tournaments to compete in: the Combat Zone Classic, The Quantum Open, The Las Vegas International, The Bayer Brunswick Tournament Players Championship, The Johnny Petraglia Open, and the Brunswick World Tournament of Champions.[3] Two circular meters are used to determine the power and spin of the bowling ball.[3] Rookies can opt to manually adjust the spin meter to their level of skill.[3] Players have the option to play against Walter Ray Williams, Jr. along with several other professional bowlers.
