Quoted from Joe_Blasi:

But is the dynamically calculated. the same for all players in a game?? each one will get the same for ball X

No. Example: game is set to 3 mins.

If player 1 plays for 1 min on balls 1 and 2 (total of 2 mins) and player 2 plays for 5 mins total. Player 1 will get extra ball saver time to reach the 3 min goal while player 3 will not get extra ball saver time on ball 3 as they surpassed the min game time.

Quoted from sk8ball:

The idea of this setting is to prevent novice players from feeling ripped off but not make the game too easy for expert players. So based on your ball time of ball one the ball save is dynamically calculated for ball 2 & 3. If you had a less than stellar ball 1 then your ball save is boosted not only in duration but number of saves. If you had a great ball one then your ball save works as normal balls 2 & 3.
Unlike guaranteed ball time settings of past games this will prevent having a good game and only getting to play one ball. It also does not guarantee you will hit the minimum game time but will help you reach it.
This setting is disabled during competition.

I just want to know one thing. Did Josh scream "Not Like This" when he first heard the concept of extra ball saves as we know how much he cherishes a ball save.

Pretty cool feature. Only question I have, it states "moving forward, all Stern Games....". Do you know if this coding will be added to existing games that get a code update? I assume it wouldn't be added to games that are considered complete and not going to get another update but was curious if the newer games may see it added to a future update (Like Elvira, JP2, Stranger Things, Etc). My kids love Iron Maiden and Deadpool. Still waiting on my JP2 but I know they will love it too. Their games often times are less than 3 mins so it would be AWESOME to be able to set it to allow for longer games for them.
