Finally balls don't just disappear when they are pocketed, they roll underneath.

How does this alter the game physics?

- As before, every ball that enters the pocket area is still pocketed (there's still no chance of a bounce out)

- But, if a ball is bouncing around inside the pocket it might block a second ball going in, or knock out a stationary ball that is positioned near the pocket.

Other changes include an improved outline cursor, top center pocket in original snooker widened (so all centre pockets across the games are consistent), and better consistency between graphics and the underlying logic.

I have had real trouble with the the 2 bottom pockets on arcade at certain angles it does not go in anymore, it's almost like there is an invisable jaw.

Not to sure about the Jodie Marsh sized hole in the form of the top middle pocket on Original!

Very realistic on hard pots, but is utterly ridiculous on slow shots.

A ball hit very slowly towards the pocket, all of a sudden starts jumping about the place as though you'd hit it as hard as anything! Very disconcerting!

I love to see the effect, but only in accordance to how hard you hit the ball. Please could this be looked at?

That sounds odd, you might have seen some bug. When I roll it slow it speeds up but never bounces around, and certainly doesn't seem like it was hit hard as anything.

I think the new updates are pretty, but i have a few problems. I'm sure the pockets are tighter, and the cloth has been thickened! Also, seems to be invisibile jaws, as tinie_tempah mentioned. I think you should not worry so much about the appearance, and focus on getting the rules right!!! Where is the free ball rule? Where is the miss rule? I'd like to see these.

Any snooker player knows the foul and miss rule can not be added due to the fact you need a referee to deem is the players attempt at the shot was good enough to not call it a miss
