Hackers are wrecking the game

Previously I’ve had this game rated as a five star. It is awesome! So much player interaction and so many tables, leagues, competitions, cues to chose from as well as in game rewards to strive for. I spend a lot of time playing the game. An excellent online version of the real game of pool. One addition I’d like to see is adding a snooker table and league competition. Recently I have passed lvl 350 and have become skilled enough at the game to play the high stakes tables. I can generate $bill + earnings to compete in the weekly competitions. This entails playing in Berlin, Mumbai and the $10mil bet Miami table. However recently hackers have become rampant on the Miami table and are commonly encountered on the Berlin table. They are spoiling the enjoyment of the game and the developers need to put stronger measures in place to eradicate or limit their impact on the game. I have taken a hiatus from the game as 7 from 12 matches on the Miami $10mil bet table were v hackers. A totally ludicrous scenario. Develops please address the hacker issue or players will be lost.

Great game, I have a few suggestions

Absolutely brilliant pool game. I’ve been playing now for the last few years, and have noticed a lot of changes in player behaviour; particularly around quitting a match half way through- players or opponents seem to abruptly quit the game when they see the match isn’t going in their favour. This seems to be happening a lot more now. I think a deterrent needs to be in place to stop this, for example deduction of coins or XP points, some sort of penalty. It’s not good etiquette. Is it because people’s attention spans are weakening. Another suggestion the pool rooms in each location are eerily quiet, no ambient music. It would be nice if there was some background music or instrumental. For example in Sydney marina there could be native Australian themed music, or Lisbon- music related to that country. Also the with smartphones increasing in size the pool tables could do with being scaled up a bit more I.e slightly bigger (zoomed in). Only very slightly tho. Other than that it’s a great game.

Cheats Galore

So again so disappointed with this game!! Played for years and love the game but but but…again over run with cheats. What pleasure do these players get by cheating? I am level 570+ and have spent so much money on this game but no longer will as cheats have ruined the game. My stats drop because of CHEATS…. I don’t understand why miniclip does not stop this and they can if they want to. Why is the question? So many players, honest players, have left the game because of CHEATS…. I have left my team with apologies as I just can’t enjoy a game that takes millions off me with some hack. Most are very low level and usually ONE or TWO rings…. It sickens you as the pot without even aiming and your game is over. You hold your breath as you attempt another game and yep a cheat again! Just played 10 -10M games and 7 players were cheats. What’s the point of playing….a game going down the drain if miniclip does not sort this out. Upped game to three star as cheats seem to be gone.
Upped to 4 stars as no cheats for a good while.
I don’t join a team at the moment but may do in time .

Is AI playing at times?

For the past 3-4 weeks I have had opponents that can only be explained as playing an AI program that can map the route of travel of every ball once the cue he as left the tip of you’d stick. It is very obvious when your opponent can line up a shot with one spin of the stick and land perfectly to launch the cue ball hitting various balls and cushions and appropriately sinking the next sequential ball in 9 Ball, which is what I normally play in this app. When this monster AI opponent rears its ugly head, it makes the most complex, unbelievable, and impossible shots you’ve ever seen. I only play in the 100k space and within three weeks I’ve lost millions of coins and have been relegated four times. It’s totally ridiculous because I can’t win a match to save my life. I’ve come to the point where once my banked coins runs out I’m outta here. I loved shooting pool here before the match’s turned completely one sided. In fact the less often I open this app the less upset I’ve been in my life outside of being here. It’s been fun challenging others here but I will be gone very soon. Has anyone else experienced these amazing opponents making crazy shots?

Love this virtual 8ball pool game

True it’s totally addictive, I used to play professional pool comps and this has given me the bug again. Id love love the game you had a while ago with the options to play on a ‘random rack’ - ‘uneven table’ - ‘ice table’ - ‘time speed table’ I haven’t quite got the names right but you’ll know which challenge period I’m talking about. They were so much fun to play with your friends, totally outside the square. Bring that back please. One other thing is your profile picture. Not everyone can see it which is frustrating. One last thing, try harder to remove all the scammers and hackers that ruin it for everyone else. There’s a lot of them out there. They need there own ap to play against themselves to see who’s the best of the hackers, that then makes more sense. Cheers and keep up the good work. Michelle H

Great game

This is the best pool game available! I love this game and have been playing for about 2017. I always buy something each month to show my support to Miniclip. I would encourage every player to show their support for this company. It might be prosperous to include training challenges and games for players for a small fee. Hopefully Miniclip can get rid of all the cheaters that use mods and hacks. And we need a way to be able to organize and use the chat packs. It’s almost impossible to keep the chats in the order you put them in when you have so many because they keep resetting and going back to a different order. We need the option of deleting the chats we don’t use and a better way to organize and use them. Best game on the market. I wish I could invest in Miniclip and share my recommendations with this awesome company. It would also help if there was a way to organize your cues. I have so many , it hard to scroll all of them. Just like trying to organize the chats or emoticons while communicating with other players. Some chats I would never use and would like to delete them. I never use negative comments to my opponents. If we can communicate easier with the people we are playing, more people would play.

How I enjoy your game

My friend started me I call him coach he showed me how to play, I find my iPad is best for the game After a few months I payed for some credit from my piggy bank. About $20 as well some others such as lucky shot it was around $100 but you charged me over $350 why I don’t know I went to the bank to contest it. I decided not as I wondered mayby the game was worth me investing in as I enjoyed it so much. As I craved for a smoke I stopped and had a game this over a period of months I stopped smoking that is how much I love playing the game. In 1994 I was hit by a train and now I can’t play professionall snooker any more as the pain was so bad I couldn’t so now this game has replaced the game of pool and professional snooker. I just would like to say Thankyou from the warmth of my heart take good care as we all desearve THANKYOU REGARDS DWAYNE

Review

Great physics engine Doubles aka bank shots are too hard Cut shots are too easy Power bar is too all or nothing I find it odd and frustrating that you can’t eye up a shot before you call a pocket…in “call pocket” games…. Would you have professional players have to call a pocket without assessing the angles and determining whether or not a ball pots ? Oh and sometimes playing against an opponent that can not miss is kinda a waist of time for me and the opponent… please tell me what is the point of playing a game that isn’t really a game…I wanna play where there is a level field …. Maybe you win maybe you don’t Maybe when you lose you learn something but watching an opponent doing things that no human being could ever do in this application let alone in real life… there is no way to learn anything except dealing with being bullied. You know all this anyway, You are cyber cowboys…. Hacker elite, and tech gods! But I think that how I play is realistic and I do it pretty well…I have never played against any player that plays the position play that I do. I’m an ARTIST with an IQ of 141 So deal with your own problems and write a review on how much better I am than most humans

Clearly you’re not as good as you claim

It’s crazy to me that when I start doing well and making nothing but cushion shots and combination shots this game does everything in its power via “connection problems” to make it impossible for me to win, one usual way you do this is by taking my full turn and giving it to the other player who mind you is always a foreigner and always using some form of hacks to beat me cause I clearly posses the same if not much more skill in pool as you. You are truly petty and jealous that I have mastered your game. It’s clear to me that no matter what your going to act like your better then me. I know I didn’t have a connection problem my grandma just paid everything here so you’re really trying to get the best of me guess you will have to try harder,why don’t you go ahead and rearrange my chat order and unblock the ones I have “hidden”cause that’s another thing you like to do to me. I am not kidding this game has some serious targeted issues at me, it’s also funny that two months before this game came out on desktop I got hit by a truck. Walking. And then I started playing this game I have had at least a lot of profiles on here as well because of new phones and such, would you believe I broke one of these phones I speak of all because of experiencing issues like this with your games,actually the same one broke it twice and that’s the most recent one. You know I know you would believe that it seems to be your goal.
