A lot of people have said, this game has lost its buzz, that the motivation for tournaments has gone, that the game has not got its buzz that it once had..

could a new game being introduced on here, Like the Shoot out game, doubles, or six reds bring back the motivation to play it

Is the lack of talent dropped, and it that because the game is not as enjoyable as it once was ?

Seems that Pool has become a lot more popular now, a few games have been introduced on there this year, and the last game that was invented on to here was Power Snooker.. and people have said that the game needs something new to bring back the buzz it had

personally i think the game is fine as it is, but i do feel the lack of talent is dropping, and the glory days have passed

other thoughts ?

Doubles will never happen.

Shoot-out sounds good.

Six reds will probably be done, although I do not see the appeal of it.

The biggest improvement they should be doing is increasing the carom winning run score to 10.

Would love to see Six reds happen.

I guess the ranking system would work as pretty low, maybe 2 points for a win when your newbie, as the Arcade games over pool are lower to

Original carom! <3. Or original+ with tighter pockets and the table a realistic speed. The tables here are a lot slower than real life.

Branching out to other games. A seperate darts game or something. Be a bit of a laugh that I think.

To the contrary!! We regularly have more players on snooker than pool- something that we didn't see at all just 6 months ago.

its interesting you saying the game has lost its buzz,ive spoke to a few players ,who say that the tournaments double points system is the main reason.there are posibly thousands of players on here who will never win a tourny and because you now get less points for a normal ranking game win now than you used to get, the progress up the rankings is much slower,this deters lower ranked players,as when they lose double points it could take another 5 wins to get there points back, and like everything if you cant see progress many lose interest,i personally think the double points was a step backwards to many players as in the long run only the top players will benefit,its created a super league at the top of the rankings that very few will break into.if you look at the arcade rankings its the same names at the top as it was a few weeks ago,this is unlikely th change that much as the tourny wins are only shared by a few players,the points sysyem is the reason for this
