Ultimate 8 Ball Pool 4+

I am new to this game (1 day) and I would give it 5 stars, except that there is a bad bug. Randomly, after aiming, using the 3D feature, I zoom out and the slider used to shoot the ball doesn’t appear, causing a lost shot. I have lost multiple games because of this. Also, the shot clock is too short-especially when you are first learning how to play the game.

Update: I have been playing the game for several weeks now, and the slider issue has not recurred. It might have been user error. When you are about to pot the 8 ball at the end of a game, the slider doesn’t appear until after you select the pocket. That was likely the scenario I was experiencing. The game play is excellent, and the game doesn’t force the player to watch ads. Keep up the good work - 5 Stars!

The shot clock time is good feedback. Thanks. I am not sure what you mean by the slider is missing, unless you were actually watching your opponent play (you can switch between 2D and 3D views to watch opponents) and then you wouldn't have a stick slider because it's not your turn.

Game copies/clones your profile, uses the clone as a bot without your permission. So once you make your profile they’ll have one more bot profile that looks like it’s you, that they use to populate the game with, so it looks like there are way more players than there really are. So they steal your profile, play as YOU and if you have two profiles on two devices eventually you’ll actually run into your clone. See Facebook group for this game, talks about this. Also, the bots are super annoying to play because they make cheat-shots as well as unrealistically horrible shots. If they didn’t make the intentionally poor shots, since they can calculate, they would otherwise win every time. So they either let you win or cheat and win themselves. There are real people in the game and you can tell the difference because the bots have artificially smooth aiming, where you can tell if you’re playing a person because you can see the finger movements aiming as a human would. The the bots do all kinds of fake things like pretend to scan the table, make ‘angry’ emojis, say ‘wow’ and ‘nice run’ when you sink a couple balls, and they can bank four times across the table and sink shots no human would even think to try. The game got the physics correct but the morality of stealing your profile after you make it to use as a cheating bot is underhanded, dishonest, not disclosed, very offensive, and very, very, very wrong.

Hi, first... thanks for the feedback. Regarding the use of CPU players, they are meant to ensure that you always have an opponent available even when there are no real players that match your criteria. While our goal is to make the CPU players seem real, we also tune them to play quickly (since real people can sometimes take their sweet time) and to match your current skill level. So they might miss an easy shot from time to time, but that's meant to keep it fun... of you.

I don’t normally leave a review for a game, but I felt the need to leave one now. I love this game in that I’ve never played pool before and they have a couple of levels for beginners to learn and practice to become more proficient at this game. However, I think there should be some kind of restriction on the level of experience players are allowed to play on these beginner tables. I just finished a game on the “duck soup” level table, which is basically a beginner table. I lost the game after having two chances of shooting. My opponent obviously was a lot more skilled and shouldn’t have been able to to play on this level table. This happens more often than not. I don’t know if it’s because they can’t win on the more advanced tables or if they just need to stroke their egos by beating beginners. Either way I find it very frustrating because I really don’t get a chance to better my game.
To the support team of this company, I’m officially asking you to consider putting limits to the tables of the more advanced players to play people of their own skill level and not be able to play on the beginner tables so that the beginners can feel good about themselves and learn more techniques to advance to the higher levels. Thank you.

Thanks for the feedback. First, it's actually common in Pool to go on a hot streak and clear the table without letting your opponent take a shot... hopefully YOU will be doing the same to your opponents soon. Second, even if someone plays down to a lower Tour, we will not match them will a less experienced player so in all likelihood you we lost to someone with similar experience but either a better pool player... or they got luck (which happens.)
