Feature Request Involving Aiming

[shankly1985]

Hello I have made my self very clear here and FX forums that I feel Aiming Lines in Snooker or Pool shouldn't exist.
They is one Snooker/Pool Game I feel has done everything correct and is the Game to beat Its called 8BallClub
In 8BallClub You have no Aiming option you stuck with a default Magnifying Glass type of Aim and I feel its done perfectly, Its easy to see were about you aiming but at the same time its very hard to master. It forces players to adjust and get good at it, they is no enable Aim lines and cheat yourself.

Would this be something easy to add into Snooker Nation?

P.S I mean no offence to anyone who choose Aiming Lines.

Watch this Video to see what I mean

Thats fine for you. I use minimum aim lines and thats good for me. No aim makes for very long games and most people don't want that. The game is hard enough with minimal aim and i think it balances the game perfectly but from what i see most people are happy with extended lines. Thats just my opinion.

Thank you for that however some people really liek to play with the aiming lines, and we do allow you to turn them off and play this way, but its your choice to decide to do that

After studying this video and the 147 break video for some time i think that no aim assist is just not precise enough to work in this game.

Your video has close up contact between the cue ball and object ball to show the contact angle, im not saying this is easyier but it does not exist in this game so we cant always see the correct angles with out aim on

[durango39]

With SN game focusing on the potting angle and cue ball postion and your game focusing on the contact angle, this game would need to implement this in to the game so that aim assist of some small amount is not needed

Am not saying remove all other aims am asking would this be possible aim option to be added?

[durango39]

Sounds a good idea add a contact angle view to the no aim line settings

They don't really take that long? I played two frame last night with a guy I met online he was level 6 and I was level 1 two close games that lasted about 20mins each.

This is the problem with No aim people just auto get scared away, Some how I wish people would just least try it out for little while and you get used to it and make for much more interesting games. the game becomes much more fun, knowing that break you just did all come from your own skill Zero Aid is more than enough to keep me playing.

Playing games is never going to be 100 real but this game is a great start
I think people like playing with aim assist as it gives them confidence that they can compete and make good game play whether there a novice or semi pro rather than playing with aim off and playing rubbish slow frames and looking like a bad player playing ronnie osullivan getting white washed all the time.

I think aim off as it is will need lots of hours practice and not everyone will have time to invest they just want a quick couple of frames or games

Im on the practice table with no aim assist getting some practice in,i must have been a sleep because the contact angle option already exists albeit not close up.

Just choose your ball set your aim up then go to camera mode and it shows the contact point on the object ball with an outline of the que ball to give your angle i have to say it totally changes the way the game plays in no assist mode it is now very playable

[durango39]

From what i can see its only on the pratice table but with it in the game already it should not be that difficult to imlement it to all gameplay options with and after some fine tuning
