Just realised I beat Craig Harris (former IGN editor) last night in Tennis.

Yeh my bad.
There's an option to turn off the use of the sensor bar completely.
No but a hardcore tennis player would always prefer use it.
Tip of the day:
With the exception of when you need to respond to a service the preferable starting position is always with wiimote pointing to tv because:
- it's the quickiest way to change from backhand to forehand depending on what the opponent do.
- it auto center the sensor so you have less drifting (although in the more chaotic situation or with a certain spin move you need to calibrade yourself with the dpad )
Do you need it, though?
Since you can point at your Mii and just press DOWN on the D-Pad to calibrate...?
I don't think you'd truly need it. Between each volley, I make it a habit to center my remote and see how my player's tennis racquet is aligned in comparison. If it's a little off, I just hit down on the d-pad. The sensor bar may help keep this from occurring as often, but hey -- if I forget to do this, it's a simple enough habit to get used to anyway.

Is this true? Massive deal breaker for me if so. I hate that the second player in online Nintendo games on the same system is basically a "clone" of Player 1 with no ability to have their own records. That really annoyed me in Mario Kart Wii especially.
Having said all that I had a blast playing Bowling online and offline today.
Tennis against a friend in another country was like being in bullet time in the Matrix and we literally went a whole game without being able to hit a ball outside of our own serve LOL.

It wasn't mentioned in the OP, so I'm wondering if this has any link to Wii Fit U at all, minus wearing the meter while playing.
Nintendo didn't do voice because it'd cost them money. It would not add significant 'lag' especially in a game like bowling that is essentially turn based.

It does not.

Haha, yes! This post just popped up on my home screen/mii plaza. It faded away so quickly, I wasn't sure it was referring to this. After poking a bunch of the miis, I found the post. Was going to post a screenshot, but looks like Jaded Alyx beat me to it.

Worse, I've had a couple just turn off their Wii U so I don't get any points, and they don't lose any.
Thankfully, you can block such people so you don't encounter them again. I started doing that with people with really BAD connections.
Speaking of points, I'm at Star-8 now, and it seems like I only seem to get around +2 on average for winning :/
How would it "cost them money"...?
I'd think it was a design decision to leave out, if anything. Even the Miiverse posts which you are allowed to use have to be moderated first. They are protecting the kiddies.
I said it was because of abusive players and pedos. Has nothing to do with money.

I like how you can shake the wiimote to make your Mii jump around on the big screen above the bowling lane while waiting.
How can you block users?

Go to your Friend List, press the button on the bottom to see recently played people, click their name, scroll down and BLOCK!
As with other Wii U software it is rather annoying that Nintendo has chosen to prevent Miis appearing in software unless they are marked favourite.
I'd rather that favourites are the ones that appear on the Mii selection list while the rest populate the background as they did on the Wii.

Lots of fun. A few laggy matches but nothing major. I'm not sure about $10 a sport though :/
Between this and Puzzle Squash, my shoulder's been killing me as well. Took a day off today.

I can't wait for the GAF tournament!
Well thats gonna happen with any online game but it sucks tho
I have been doing real good with Tennis, brought the game last night
This needs to happen. I added a bunch of gaffers that I can't play with due to the lack of a lobby. So nobody is ever waiting on a game.
This needs fixed!

Just bowled my first 300. I didn't know you don't acquire stamps for online games.
How? Seriously, how did you do this? I used to be able to in Wii Sports, but I barely played Resort at all, and the Motion+ aspect of the controls is killing my consistency. I can never duplicate the same bowl twice, and it's killing me. This is why I don't bowl in real life, I was hoping the game wouldn't duplicate that experience so closely...
Yep, matchmaking is atrocious in this game.This needs to happen. I added a bunch of gaffers that I can't play with due to the lack of a lobby. So nobody is ever waiting on a game.

Just downloaded and played some tennis with my wife. We joined club Minnesota and played some online matches but it didn't track any of our wins. Everytime we try to search for club matches we can't find anyone.
Is online mode for fun only? Or is it because we're still on the free trial?

I think wins are only updated daily or so. Sometimes it can be hard to find opponents when searching using specific conditions.

So if I keep searching for basic online anyone people I am still helping my club? I just need to wait for the servers to update? I wanted to help my club, we won 3 matches in a row.

Pretty sure all wins online contribute towards your club.
Yeah you just need to wait for the servers to update. I won a match against region that according to statistics we had never won against but still when I checked afterwards it still showed that we had won 0.00% out of the matches.
Yes who ever you play outside your club is wins for your club, searching for club only will only look for people in your club, so if nobody is trying to play from your club you wont find any games.
And wins are updated a while after you play soo it wont be there right away

Find a consistant line & throwing motion. Works like a charm. I'd say my average is around a 260.
