addedNew Features/Improvements
addedAdded the option to change your career info whenever you want, including career difficulty. Developer's Note: You can change your career info now by going to "Edit Bowler" and swapping to "Edit Info" from there. Note that you are still locked into Hall-of-Fame difficulty after swapping to it, as there are exclusive balls and apparel tied to playing on Hall-of-Fame.
changedReduced the maximum speed that the ball can be thrown with no hook to reduce the efficacy of bowling straight (was 25 MPH, now 24 MPH)
fixedFixed a bug where the achievement for winning the PBA Playoffs was not unlocking properly, as well as a bug that could cause tier unlock achievements to not unlock properly. Developer's Note: These achievements will be unlocked retroactively when you load a career that has met the conditions. Unfortunately, the playoffs achievement will not unlock retroactively if you have already transitioned to a Hall-of-Fame career and have not yet completed the playoffs on HoF.
fixedFixed a bug where the sponsor discount was not being properly applied to ball purchases. This would cause the purchase to fail entirely if you didn't have enough money to buy it without the discount.
