just played a tourney game, i needed a snooker, and he had random shot time, it then went all over the table and hit yellow, i think you should nominate a colour, it would change the whole game fairly, im so annoyed about this

been talked about before and its a good idea however, if you played a 5 second game you couldn't just click on a colour to nominate and shoot, you would have to apply spin and shoot, 10 seconds onwards and its possible.

would only take a click as it could put a ring round your chosen colour.

If it were added it would increase shot time and so I don't think it will be implemented

This.

And also, please take time to search the forum as there is so many threads on this topic already.

best idea ever!

best idea ever!

I dont like the idea at all... I imagine it would be so annoying to select the colour before shooting
This would totally bring the fun out of this game
Same as in Killer ...
When ur snookered in killer u can sometimes just hit and hope and u cant say where the ball goes
Funkysnooker is good how it is

thats cus u r him that gave the idea

If playing 5 seconds game then why wont it stop the clock until u choose the colour ?

I think that is obvious really ... it defeats the whole object of a timed game

Was just replying to dgen

well you said some good points against this idea, which i appreciate, thats all i wanted,, just wanted to see other peoples views

Not really, a timer for how long you have to pick the colour could easily be implemented.

Aye. Maybe have the same timer to choose the colour as the the amount you'd have to play a shot?

now i think about it, it will make it more realistic and maybe cut the flukes down a bit (only put on the snooker games though) so it doesn't ruin killer.

maybe 20 seconds is more than enough to nominate a colour as it gives you ttime to think of position for next shot etc.

But then it all takes time up in tournaments. Would need to add (however may seconds to pick x amount of reds) each round time.

maybe 10 seconds for tournaments then unless nick removes it for tournaments as the round time is long enough already.

Not sure if this idea is possible, but here goes!

I think it would be alot easier to nominate a colour by touching the ball with the cursor, rather than having to click the ball you want to go for. I think this would make it more possible in shorter games.

For example, I want to go for the yellow with full backspin - I would set spin and aim as normal, but when I line the cursor up with the yellow it automatically selects yellow as the nominated ball.

As long as the cursor at least slightly touches a coloured ball then that ball is nominated

how does it work then when you are snookered? you obviously cant touch the ball you want to hit.

your idea is good, it just needs to be expanded for when you are snookered.

Nominating when snookered would be a bigger problem. The idea for "Hovering" the cursor over the ball wouldn't be ideal in that situation, as you could easily pass over another ball with the cursor, making that become nominated.

Only other ways I can think of would be

1) Make the coloured balls on the table clickable, so you click on a ball and it becomes nominated

or

2) Have 6 small coloured squares inbetween the Power Bar and Cue Ball Spin icon. You would then click the coloured square that corresponds to the ball you want to nominate.
