another issue is the opponent when in trouble just rolls up all the time anywhere on the table. Its bloody annoying. This is going back. Utter marmite

After potting the first red for a 1 break.

They have the audience correct. Playing in India and only 4 people in crowd. At least that's realistic

Do you still get incessant coughing from the audience?

When you get to The Crucible, I hope Front Row Bryan is there.

yes - got Jordan in a nasty snooker. 2 fouls so got 32 points so far....and another 16. I will win this frame for sure.
2 more fouls another 32 points collected. They keep playing the exact same shot to get out the snooker all the time. No difference in any of the 4 attempts so far. Poor

No just clapping so far. Clapping for an apparent "great safety" where the cue is about 100 feet from the bulk cushion and several shots available for the opponent

Was Jordan Brown frowning?
Or is there never a frown... with Jordan Brown?

whilst it looks better than any other snooker game I have played, I would rather play my old PS2 game. If they had checked the game for obvious bugs (like the 16 points for a foul) it may have been quite decent but long pots are very hard to get accurate whilst the AI as no problems whatsoever. The AI for the players is poor and they sometimes end up on top of the table minus their legs or a random floating rest or cue will appear.
I would give it a 4/10. Not what I was expecting sadly. Maybe Snooker 20 will have ironed out the issues.

I guess they rushed development to coincide with the World Champs, when snooker interest is at its peak.
Hopefully they’ll patch the issues with updates.

This is dissapointing.

You can concede at any point. I was getting pumped by AI Ronnie. He wasn't missing so after 24 points I conceded the frame to go 3-0 down
Even Ronnie plays the roll up to any ball FFS

Just about to download this now.
Says they've released a patch update for PS4 and PC, Xbox coming later.
Hopefully it fixes the issues that people keep mentioning.

Haven't had a proper go on it yet, but this thread makes for some grim reading. Hopefully, they release a patch to sort out the silly issues.

Foulds and Hendon.
A patch is out for PS4 but not installed it yet. Not had any issues with fouls either. I think it’s fine but not worth it’s price right now.

Just had my first go.
It isn't bad but there's some very annoying glitches.
Commentary is pretty much pointless, brings nothing to the game.
The player animation depending on the camera shot is horrendous at times, players hands going through the cushion, parts of their necks missing.
Most annoying thing for me though was the aiming aid and spin control aid, they automatically move every time I take a shot, that used to happen on past Snooker games too, awful.

just got thrashed even on Amateur mode. This game isn't for me.
The shoot out is unfair. The CPU player can play a shot immediately. The player has to first move the cue in the correct direction which wastes seconds and by the time you've lined the shot up you hear the beeps and "x" family fortunes noise and 30 points given to you opponent. WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
