I would stick with a three ball configuration. Like ovdfireman said, Creech is a blast to play but it does have a limited rule set which is not very deep. The game is still a challenge at three ball but I think some of that would be robbed from the game with a five ball setup. The extra ball is fairly easy to get anyway. The KISS skill shot is also easy to learn. It is just a timing thing. I usually try to avoid the shot just to give the game a bit more of a challenge. I am not sure if it can be varied off in the settings. Get a cliffy for the snack bar if your game does not already have one. The color DMD is a must.
