I think US pool currently reflects a decent simulation but is not enough fun. IMO, the game currenlty has too steep a learning curve for new players.

A good billiard simulation needn't be true to proportions as monitors are limited in terms of resolution and size. A good simulation should reflect similar levels of difficulty, ie the top players should be able to run out.

Anyway, here's a demo, have a play and leave your feedback.

nah i prefer thw way the games being played now

NICK BOY YOUVE DONE GOOD!

If you release this I will be playing US pool!

lol its too easy

It is exactly like UK pool pulse...

The game plays better, and will be funner

It's supposed to be a similar level of skill as UK pool.

hmm mine was same size balls as normal us but faster thats all

Nick take a look at the design I did on the Logo? Table? thread

i think its alot better this way

Nick, i hope you decide to keep this new table. It plays really well if you ask me!

The reaction of the balls also seems to be sharpened up!

Nick, i love it!

Would be great to keep the table like the demo is now, pulse your the only one that doesn't like it.

This is easy, i hardly missed a shot! I'd hate to see the original us table go, maybe we could keep both as i do like this table (cause you can't miss) but i think you'd be taking something away from the good players of us 8 ball!

For the purpose of it being easier i would say u have achieved what u wanted, but i think its too easy for those who have already learnt the game! I play US pool because its different to UK and is harder to play, and i think it also sharpens up ur aiming skills, so changing it to this would take away that aspect...but thats just my opinion!

Yeah but if you have this format you will have the aiming skills suitable for all aspects of the game!

BUT.......

Think about it all the top players of the uk8 will be the top players of us aswell! They would just be top on all games this way.

Soo i dnoooooo!

I just think its too easy thats all, i like it the way it is, but like i said...thats just my opinion!

Yes exactley derp, you'd be making everything the same, and make it boring!

thank you 1_eye

You can see all the uk 8 ball lads jumping on this cause it's easy like uk 8 ball!



EDIT: Just to say though nick, i do like this table as i might start winning some, but i love the other table even though i lose all the time atm!
