Also the new felts are meant to have lighting shining down on them?

Shouldn't the spot of lighting dim slightly or change in some way as it moves in to darker areas of the table


No, because the light source is very very high in the air (14.5 metres in fact) so it doesn't change noticeably as the ball rolls across the table.

This game has just taken a massive step into realism.

Good work.

I think the effect looks fantastic on the lighter colored balls, but when applied to darker balls, (green, purple) looks a bit like there's a hole in the table.

A very, very minor flaw in a fantastic update.



and no, I have no black spots on my orange ball.

Good upgrade nick

The only problem for me is that the balls have reduced in size. They were way bigger before the upgrade.

I know that changes seem initially wrong to some people, so please give it a week and if you still feel that way, let me know!


IMO, all such changes in such an "old" and established game should be made optional.

Looks great tho, but I will more than likely hate it forever

If the shadows of the balls could change when you hit them and miss that would be good...

In other words the patch of light is on the left had side of the ball you hit it and it is still on the left...

Is there now an 'edge' on the balls??

Like erm..50p shape?? Only very slightly tho.

They look really dull to me too.

My Orange ball is fine <<< SEE? lol.no really, it is.
