      I saw this mentioned earlier, but called pockets on a shot at the 8 ball is needed.


      Online quick games would be better if it were a series, like 4 out of 7, 5 out of 9. You just keep offering up rematches, but i'd like a finite number to play for to try win the series.


      Also, what's the advantage of using a different cue? Does the yellow aiming line appear longer? It seems to show up offline, but not as much when I play online.

        The differences between cues and tables are just cosmetic. They have no impact on performance.

        Instead of stepping away from the table and walking around to line up long shots, I recommend just holding square to stand up. It's much easier to keep your target spot in mind, that way. I also find the "Master" aim icon to be a little easier to shoot with than the "Pro" icon, so try that out if you've been playing on "Pro."

          Played online 9 ball tonight. Third game. I sink the 9 ball and win. Lead the series 2-1. An error screen comes up saying the data is corrupt. The game closes and I get back to the home screen. I launch the game. Again, data is corrupt. I click ok, it asks if I want to play the tutorial, as if I first played the game. It wiped all the career matches I played, but thankfully not the online matches, as I still had level 13, though it didn't count the three games of 9 ball because I got to level 14 after game one. Strange.

            Is there anyway to move the pool cue around the the cue ball, other than direct center? thanks

              The left joystick moves the cue stick angle up/down.

              The face buttons let you move the cue stick left/right to create ball spin.

              There is no way to generate a jump shot, unfortunately.

                  Played this game for a few minutes. It's fun, but it doesn't feel like there's any "weight" in my shots. I wish everything was a bit heavier.

                    What technique are you using to do the jump shot?

                    I sat in practice mode for a while when the game first came out trying to pull one off, but I never could get the ball to jump off the ground without going completely off the table.

                    In real life, all you have to do is strike down hard over the top of the ball. When I do that in Pure Pool, though, all it does is rip a hard ground shot that never leaves the table.

                      You have to move the cue down to the lowest point, bring stick up & strike w/ english.

                        I was able to get a few matches in online tonight, but I still had opponents disconnecting on me too. I really hope that the patch alleviates a lot of the problems.

                          When's the patch supposed to drop?

                            They're working on one is all I know. I don't have any idea when it comes out.

                              The patch is supposedly going through certification at the moment, so it will be out whenever Sony finishes testing it. VooFoo submitted it a few days ago.
