*OFFICIAL Wii Sports Leaderboard

That's cool. Good job. It's just kinda hard to measure the "skill" in that. It all depends on the computer's pitcher and skill level of your team. Bowling and golf are at least the same game every time.
 
yeah I know it was just funny I thought so I had to share. but that pitcher was ass. Im playing again right now and I got 6 in the first inning, so I guess it gets easier as your skill level increases?
 
ok I just got a 205 in bowling! I had one awesome split that I picked up. I guess it was a 4-6 split, but it rocked. I could show a pic if I have to.

Commentary? Bah...that bogey was the only blemish on a beautiful round of golf. I put that ball in the water, and put my 3rd shot within 3 feet. Talk about a kick in the nuts.

The eagle on 6 was nice...a great chip-in from 120 yards....hit the stick and just stopped dead in the cup.
​
 
Wow, 6 under is very impressive. I bet that chip-in was nice. That's my only gripe about this game: no instant replay. I sunk a 55 foot putt earlier, and have had a few decent chips (nothing like your monster 120 yarder though), and have wanted so badly to just watch them over and over. Can't wait for the next Tiger Woods game on Wii though. You know it's going to happen.

I got 215 and I thought that was a good score...(until I saw this thread)

EDIT: Now my highest is 223-not to shabby. Please add to OP leaderboard.

EDIT 2: 234 beotch!!!!
 
Got a 216 in bowling today, up from 204, which was up from 159. :) I just hit "pro" status in bowling today too. My friend and I played bowling a lot over Thanksgiving. ;)
 
242 in bowling. Is it a bad thing that I bowl much better with my Hitler Mii than the Mii of myself?

My best 9 hole golf score is a -1 (35).
 
Wow, nice scores everybody! I'm really starting to enjoy how good everyone is getting. I've always been a pretty competitive person, and after this recent flurry of high scores bumped me out of the top 20 in bowling, I decided to fire up my Wii and play a few midnight games. I ended up with my best scores ever. I warmed up with a 195, and then set a personal record at 215, which I immediately topped with a 234 in the following game. After that, I wanted to see if my hot hand carried over into golf, and I shot a -2 / 34 round. I guess competition really does bring out the best in us. Keep it up fellas.
 
Bump, for staying on the front page. No score toppers today? Can't say I'm surprised. The group is starting to become pretty elite. When 216 nets you 20th place, you know we've got some (bowling) ballers. And I'm guessing the reason there's only 9 people on the golf leaderboard is because people just don't have the patience, and after their 9th shot on the 3rd hole, they just give up. WIMPS!

Here, if this doesn't inspire you to play golf, nothing will.

Well I'm not on the leaderboard.. but I just broke my record and have a 203. YAY.

I'll be up on there again. (Unless you want to do a top 25!!!)
 
[quote name='mpj31']what about high scores in the tennis target training? mines 30[/quote]

Mine is 33.

What about HR Derby? I got 10 out of 10 HRs with the longest being 636 feet. The total 'footage' was ~5600 feet.

Sorry guys, but from my observations, your Mii's "skill level" (amateur, pro, etc.) affects how well you do in those events. Once I reached pro level, my Mii was quicker and hit the ball much harder. Also, as others have mentioned, the computer difficulty increases. There's just not enough consistency to put everybody on an equal playing ground. Besides, hitting 10 out of 10 home runs is much easier than scoring a 300 in bowling or going -8 in golf. I've done it myself. I'm sure the leaderboard would just consist of a bunch of 10 out of 10's. When the bowling leaderboard has all 300's, it'll die. I promise.

Way to to put a damper on everything. :p

You can always say whether you're pro or not. Also total distance in homerun contest will sort out the 10 for 10s.

Anyway it's all for fun I think, right? LIke the games themselves. And not for blood or money.

I doubt that. I threw a 242 with my Hitler Mii in his second game while my experienced Pro Mii can't seem to get within 30 pins of that.
 
I thought I was going to shatter my record in golf today, I was -7 through 6 holes. However, I bogeyed 7 and made par on the last 2 to finish at -6.

I don't mean to overanalyze sports here, but if you can't see the differences between golf/bowling and baseball/tennis/boxing, you completely missed my point. In bowling and golf, your objective is simple and your ability to perform is not affected by your competition. This is unlike baseball, tennis, and boxing where the skill of your opponent DIRECTLY determines how well you do. As I've stated before, golf and bowling are fair to measure because for the most part, they are the same game every single time (aside minor differences in wind in golf, but over 9 holes, I'd say it evens out). My point was that, when playing with my Mii (with almost 800 points at the time), against my brother-in-law (who had 0 points), my Mii appeared to hit both a baseball and tennis ball with more force and make better contact (and trust me, I wasn't swinging any harder). I'm not swearing this is how it works, it just seems that way.
 
I just got a +2 in golf, if that's still enough to get me on the board?

This is my second game... my hat's off to Nintendo (not that it wasn't before)... never would have dreamed I'd like a GOLF video game, unless it was of the mini variety :p

By the by... could a MOD make this thread a sticky? I think it's deserving...

Hey PleasantOne, thanks for the Sticky suggestion. I was hoping somebody would bring that up, but I didn't really want to be the one to nominate my own thread. Also, I totally agree about the Wii Golf. I'm a big sports fan, but golf is not my favorite game in the world, but I'm actually really looking forward to the Tiger Woods 07 game when it comes out.

If it could just take the Wii Golf format and expand upon it with real players and different courses, I think it would be amazing. I honestly think most sports games have great potential to be amazing on the Wii though. I am anxiously awaiting a good baseball game and a good hockey game. I think those could be huge.

I know the difference between the different sports. You're alledging that the games are easier for Pros than amateurs. I'd say that it's more based on that you've probably played the game more than your brother based on skill points. If you're playing other people, their experience with the game directly affects the game since they won't play nearly as well as someone who's learned how the game works.

That's a valid point Frisky, but it's going to be difficult to draw that conclusion based on pure speculation. As a firsthand witness to the events, it didn't look like he was doing things any less "right" than I was. Regardless, I appreciate the debate. If someone else wants to start a leaderboard for tennis, baseball, and boxing, that would be fine with me. I just don't have an interest in it. Anyway, thanks for being able to disagree and still be civilized. Quite a rare trait on the internet.
 
Golf - Par (my first 9 hole round)
Bowling - 232 (Started off with 6 strikes, then had an open and then had a few spares...including my first split spare pick up, and a few more strikes)

You're welcome! ;)

I was just chatting with my cousin last night, and saying I may have to eat my hat... I'm *NOT* a big sports fan, and I'm always going on about how boring sports games look to me, but when an MLB game comes out on Wii I know I'm gonna end up buying it! Probably golf too... and I wonder how basketball will be?... Oooo, NCAA, the one sport I do watch... *sigh* Nintendo is evil! I'm drawing the line at football, though! no! no no no! No Madden for me... I refuse! They'll never take me alive!
 
-4 in golf, good ol chip ins for eagle on 9th hole :bouncy:

edit: now -5 with birdies on first five holes then a choke job parring the last 4 :(
: 226 in bowling now
 
Man, there is A LOT of jockeying going on today. Mostly the same names on the board, but a ton of movement. 222 is 20th place in bowling now. That's almost not right. I wonder how small the gap between 1st and 20th can get. Right now it's at 76 pins. My bet is that it's shrunk to less than 20 pins by New Year's.
 
Just how the hell (and from where) are you nearly perfect bowlers doing it?

Also, my friend meets whatever requirements to be a pro bowler(in real life), and he sucks at bowling. I beat him everytime.
 
[quote name='Dr Mario Kart']Just how the hell (and from where) are you nearly perfect bowlers doing it?[/QUOTE]

Maybe about 5 ft?? I usually reset the game if I fail to get a strike..(if im going for a perfect game) ..I always screwup on the last shot!! after I got 298, ive gotten 297 twice..

EDIT: In RL im an below avg bowler, last time I played in a casual League I probably avg 150 tops.
 
no no, I mean where in game. How many clicks to the left or right, and angled how many clicks left or right. Or maybe something relative to those dots on the ground.
 
Crap, I gotta improve my bowling score. I haven't managed to break 200 since that 225, and my skill level has actually dropped as a result.
 
[quote name='FriskyTanuki']I doubt that. I threw a 242 with my Hitler Mii in his second game while my experienced Pro Mii can't seem to get within 30 pins of that.[/QUOTE]

That is kind of the point. In bowling and golf skill level doesn't affect the gameplay as it is just you and the lane, or the course for golfing.
