Anyone else think that it is slightly unrealistic due to the fact that the balls rarely spread into the upper half of the table off the break?

no

Depends how you break

I know but if you smash them down the center for example they don't break up to the same degree as they would in a real game.
And thanks 'j4s' for your detailed reply to my riveting question

It's a game to be fair, it takes certain terms of realism, then it's own terms of gameplay.

Ok, don't see the relevance of a small spread off the break to gameplay though?

Makes things interesting.

haha i was going to crack on but could'int be bothered lol

Had a few breaks on practice...You do have a point.

Think it'd make it too easy to get run outs though if it were to be changed.

things like these do my head in lol

Why read/comment on them then??

because i wanted to ?

Ok

lol

its a game. as someone else said, as long as there is a certain aspect of realism, I dont care. You can spin the ball and doubling shots seems to be realistic.

its a game....so not everything is going to be perfect. The UK game has not changed much for a long time (except for the table change).
