Suggestions – Vegas Pool Sharks Review

I can't tell you how many hours my wife and I have spent playing this game. That's because the physics of it are great. It makes for a very competitive gaming experience. HOWEVER, there are a few things that would make the game exponentially better. 1. Setting spin on the cue ball. Currently, in order to achieve the various spins available (top, back, L and R) you must 'grab' the cue and push it hard and fast in the direction you desire. This is not always easy, nearly always changes your line up you just worked on and sometimes results in an accidental shot. My workaround is to place the spin on the cue ball while aiming at another ball so that when I change to the right ball I won't mess up the auto aim with my spin placement. Not very streamlined. 2. Overview and identification of balls. It is often very hard to see which ball is which from the overhead view. Sometimes it's hard to distinguish a yellow spot from a yellow stripe. That sometimes results in thinking you've nearly won a game and finding out you have a surprise ball you must sink at the end. I have wondered whether it might be possible to have a display of all available balls remaining running along the top of the screen at all times or via an optional mask from which you could select a ball to aim at. Cycling through the balls is time consuming. 3. Application updates Where are they? I have owned this game for months and haven't seen any updates in forever. Most developers do just that, develop. I think a little more thought and finesse could make this app perfect so please spend a little more time and finish it. We have paid our money to buy it, it would be nice if there were more work going in to it. All that said, it's a great app and I am only so keen on these essential changes/additions because I love to play it so much!
