I got several more messages today from people trying to figure out if they were playing me or my DNA. Hopefully they get the server stuff straightened out soon.

I played your DNA tonight lol.

Pretty close match.

Madison can suck it lol. That amateur circuit was a grind. I think I'll give the 9-ball a shot next instead of going up to the next level.

Re: Pure Pool Hands-On Impressions

Does anyone know if it possible to turn off the names that constantly pop up announcing they are now online? I'd like to not see this. Thanks

After a lot of searching the web, I found that this can't be turned off. I hope they patch it.

There is no way to disable the messages that appear at the top of the screen. The only thing you can turn off in the options is the slow-motion cutscenes.

The server errors have gotten so bad now that I can't even play an online quick match. VooFoo really botched the launch of this game. I guess they weren't prepared for the number of people that ended up buying it.

Yeah - I've wanted to play matches the last two nights but can't. I'll wait it out though.

Just realized that if you change the Baize Colour it changes the light of the color on the back of the controller. Except slate and charcoal, which make the controller white.

If anyone is planning on making a league I would like to join up. Psn is ptw2287

Re: Pure Pool Hands-On Impressions

We have a league started, but every time I log on to invite people, the player list is down. And the way the game works, you can't invite people to leagues when the player list goes away.

The online problems are definitely frustrating. I'm having fun playing through Career mode, but the real fun is playing against real people.

Re: Pure Pool Hands-On Impressions

The PR people contacted me after reading my user blog here reviewing the game. They said that my issues are in the process of being fixed. That being the top bar displaying everyone logging on and off even if not on your friends list, the friends list in game completely and the online issues overall.

So sit tight I guess, but sounds like a fix is incoming.

If you are playing offline like I do most of the time, you can turn off your internet connection temporarily in the PS4 options. You won't have the network stuff available but you can play the career mode and practice games without those annoying name pop ups.

Re: Pure Pool Hands-On Impressions

One Gripe I have about the in game gameplay, is that I can't get a good look at the ball I want to hit when I step away from the table. How I line up a shot in real life is I eye up the ball I am aiming at and look a straight line into the pocket. I then pick up a point of reference on the ball that I am aiming to hit.

Re: Pure Pool Hands-On Impressions

They need called pockets at least for the 8 or 9 if nothing else also I don't like the fact that if you make an opponents ball it's a ball in hand foul regardless if it was a legal shot

Re: Pure Pool Hands-On Impressions

I've been doing the 9-ball pro career and I'm stuck on Madison again lol. The shortened bar on this difficulty feels pretty realistic. I'm shooting like I do when I play pool at the bar or something, I've definitely come down to earth a little bit. Hopefully I can complete it, though.

I wish that there was a way to set up balls and practice shots. I'm horrible at rail shots and it kills me seeing the computer drain them with ease. If I could even get 50% better at them, it would improve my results a lot.
