WSC 2007 - Beating top player woes!!!

[hanterp]

I agree. It probably has to do with the ranking. Sometimes I have succes keeping it tight as possible. That way I beated Henry in the quarter finals of the China-open
I did read about Ronnie O'sullivan clearing up all the time, but when you break-off by hitting the last ball in the triangle of balls and you hit it as thin as possible there is no way he clears up from that safety. Make sure that the position-aim shows the circle in the balk side. If he replies by a similar shot, snookering you on all balls, you can roll the ball via the side-cushion against the pack off balls, by using the positional aim again.

I finally beat him! 2-0 thanks to two centuary breaks. I am now playing Shaun Murphy in the World semis and leading 1-0. Anyone now what you unlock by winning it?

[hanterp]

Maybe a pair of cues
We made an 'unlockables'-topic, where you can find some things we found

[Bart009]

I think the top pro's are not always as strong as they seem. For instance: I played Stephen Hendry in the first round of the Northern Ireland. I lost while not standing a chance. A few minutes ago I played Ronnie during the third round of the GP qualifiers. I lost but I won the first frame after a blunt mistake by Ronnie. I took the chance and made a break of 109 ... The second frame went to Ronnie after one of mine stupid mistakes... Eventually I lost after making a stupid mistake... If I took the chance he gave me in the third I would have won the match...

Anyway, my point is that a qualifying Ronnie might, by far, not as tough as a main-event Ronnie

I cant get past the first qualifiying rounds usually!

i havent even won a snooker game yet (not even on versus mode!) and i have only won about 5 or 6 pool games in total can someone help!

who is your tip for the world championships this year

at the moment my £2 each way is on Mrak Williams but that may change

[Roly]

Umm I dunno. But I'm gonna guess that Stephen Hendry is gonna have a fantastic World Championship and might pull off a win.

That has happened to me several times... I make just about perfect break-off, but Ronnie pots almost impossible red and clears up the table. The most irrotating thing is, that even if the cue ball is very close at the top cushion, he still pots very hard balls...

[JoeS619]

I know how you feel Rasse92... i qualified for the world championship and ronnie creamed me in the final... he even hit a 147! I have also qualified for the grand prix and beat stephen hendry with a break of 69, beat nigel bond and now i have steve davis and must win 2 face... wait 4 it... RONNIE O' SULLIVAN!!!!!!!!! am dreadin it cos a have a feelin he may beat me!

[missneworleans]

I don't know why but I don't have those problem's. Maybe I ahve very cool brake shot c'os only a few balls go out of pack

[JoeS619]

well its the fact tht the likes of a higgins and murphy and ronnie hit impossible pots from good break offs its annoyin a lost 2 steve davis im the semis of the grand prix cos he kept on gettin near impossible pots in

[hanterp]

True. I think the game is not in balance. Top players are almost super-humans in this game. Against players around the 10th place you have good chances, but against the likes of O'Sullivan, Higgins or Henry you have to prepare for impossible pots. It would be better if they make the aiming-tools a bit more difficult, but at the same time they should tweak down the potting-abillities of the top players. Then you get a better balanced game.
Oh yes, they should tweak the ball physics: When the ball bounces off the cushions the ball looses far too much pace.

I've finally beat O'Sullivan at the N.I Trophy. At first he was unbeatable in the match then he started making mistakes such as going in off and leaving things on. It took 3 centuries in a 7-5 win to put the rocket away.
