I have turned v-sync off right now but unfortunately it did not solve anything. I still can't start tournament, challenge mode or switch between the settings. I was so disappointed that I haven't started a game so I don't know about the status report etc but my guess would be that the problems remain.
But I remember now that indeed the ball search started when I cradled the ball when I played the last time. Of course, this should not happen. Sorry, I completely forgot about this, otherwise I would have mentioned that. Thank you WakiMiko for pointing that out!
I just keep my fingers crossed that these issues are going to be solved soon, even if the definition of "soon" is not the same for everyone
