okay so i know its funkysnooker, and so the game does not have to be completely realistic, but the pink is even more strange to play positionally. From a position of, say, the D there is no way to get back up the table again from playing a pink. With top you used to just be able to get on to top cushion and up to baulk again, now you cant even do that. This is far from realistic so does this mean the pink is in the wrong place or the spin is far from realistic. In real snooker its very easy to get from pink to top cushio and up again, so why not on funky?

On which game?

By the way, I will clarify this as a lot of people have brought the funkysnooker name up to defend unrealistic aspects - funky is called so because it works even on older machines, through firewalls, and the whole game is tiny at 300kb.

i have noticed that the black ball is closer to reds on regular, maybe you could move the black down a little but about halfway between reds and cushion should do nicely

I got to agree, if I need to put the white somewhere and I no the pink can't make it for me go for the long blue its not extremly difficult

Okay, sorry i mean on arcade, id just like to have enough top spin available to get to the top cushion and up again. This used to be the case, and so i merrily hit a pink off its spot with full top only to find my cue ball sailing into the corner pocket. Would be nice to make it a bit more realistic in that sense

OK, spin will be changing soon on arcade:

Basically the spin will be more powerful for longer range shots, less powerful for small shots. So in this case it may help.

Yes, for original too. All games will have the realistic spin.
