He's also shaking the table m8... With suspicious mechanism underneath the floor. It's not an earthquake.

Just a thought, but in snooker the balls don't actually go under the table like they do in Pool. Looks a bit odd on a snooker table. Is there any animation that could look as if the go through the pocket and into the things that kind of dangle to the side of the pocket? (if you get what i mean)


Like show which ball has gone into which pocket ?

Why cant I pot from the Cushion? Whats going on there has game play changed or something if the ball is slighty off I can pot it fine if its tight I got no chance


I've actually been having this problem too, may be coincidence that I've got worse since the update..

i haven't played much recently and been struggling when i have played and then realised changes have been made.

My observations are that potting ball tight to cushion is harder, when potting with pace the ball rarely goes in, pockets tighter - in summary, much harder and v frustrating at the minute!!

linfield this is true i cant pot a thing its a bit like the pool tables and it has took "the snooker" uniqueness away,not the best update for snooker i would say.

I'm still not sure what the change to gameplay is. There have been maximums and cents today. Clearly they're still pottable.

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.


He's made the original pocket bigger, nothing tighter. You've given it one day and blaming a bad days play on the new updates, give it a couple of week before you can blame the updates as you may just be going through a bad patch

VERDIT: Coincidence

a forum is to air your views which in turn give nick his feed back so wouldnt it be boring to say the same,this game is great, 100% of folk say the same.

Yeah but everyone is jumping on this bandwagon that the pockets have been made tighter. Has Nick ever lied about updates before??

I just said a very good point in the chat room which should be here.

When the ball is rattling in the pocket, it does look like at times it's rattling in the jaws, so on the contrary, at times, it MAY look like the ball is bouncing round in the bottom of the pocket, however it is just simply rattling in the jaws.

This does explain the "bounce outs"

=buddytobud 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.
i know the difference mate and seriously ive had them on the pocket and smashed it straight and its bounced out and hit white up other end of the table only in reg and orig tho for me


Apparently not Damee

If I may i'm just going to have my say...

Whatever anybody thinks about these all new changes I absolutely hate them.

It has turned a game I loved and looked forward to every day, and I mean, every day, into one I just don't enjoy. Erm, sad to say, at all.

So much so that I'm knocking it on the head for a while. All the best everyone, happy potting, I'm off. What a real shame, hopefully the feel of the table from just a few weeks ago will return, hopefully by popular demand - In fact, that might be a great way to do it!!! Have a vote!

Sorry mate, was a great, outstanding, briliant site but the new changes - not for me.

Just a thought about the physics when the ball falls into the pocket. Currently, no matter how slow the ball rolls into the pocket, the ball always rolls from the edge and reaches the back of the pocket before rolling down under the table. I think this makes slow shots look a bit distracting. Perhaps a slow rolling ball should just fall from the edge, without getting a speed burst that makes it bounce from the back of the pocket.

Great change though, just needs getting used to and perhaps a little fine-tuning!
