yes but its nots real life it is only a game i dnt mean to be a problem but the old way was a lot better, and i am sure that alot of players would agree.


There's absolutely no good reason that a ball magically disappearing is better than a ball rolling into the pocket (except that people have got used to it and refuse to adjust) but I would understand criticism that it should bounce / act differently.

Is there now bounce outs?


No, same as before, a ball potted before will still be potted with the animation (though while it is there it could block a second ball going in).


Just on the bit in italics, I actually thought sometimes the potted ball looked too small in the pocket when it was going down. Seemed more like a pingpong ball than a snooker ball. Anybody else share this opinion or do people think the size is ok?

maybe but to the average player that maybe has been playing the game for about a year or so the change is not so good.

its not too bad if you are 1 of the top players but for the average player its not so good m8

This update doesn't favor top players. It's just the way the balls look and drop...
If you were a new player and didn't know the way it was before, it would look perfectly fine to you.

i didnt say that it favours the top players, it probably wont make a difference to them, but like i said to the average person it does.

I actually think thats quite a good idea, makes the game alot more realistic aswell, gives more of a chance side to the game and prevents people from learning certain traits that they would on a game and using them continuosly.

If it affects average players negatively but doesn't affect top players, that means it's good for top players surely.

I've been playing over 4 years now, so don't try using that excuse and I think this is a quality update. Yes there is slight tweaks which could be done which have already been mentioned but overall this a quality update!

ive had a couple of balls bouncing back out of the pocket

and also on some of my shots, they are looking like they are missing and my break building is struggling


Then he must be just saying this to influence opinions...?


I think people are confusing 'bounce outs' where the ball enters the pocket, hits the back and comes out again with rattling in the jaw and bouncing away from the pocket.

If it does look small it's an optical illusion due to it being a bit darker, as the ball remains the same size when it rolls into the pocket.

I was thinking about reducing the ball size to make it appear further away but changing the ball size currently has some performance impact which I wanted to avoid.
