Blades advice?

[neild@eureka-software.com]

Despite Blades advice to turn the PS3 off after autosaving - on two occasions now I have come back at a later date only to find the game progress has been lost. Yesterday I was at 5-4 in a semi, came onto it tonight and lo and behold the game was back to 0-0 again. I have not been anywhere near the edit profile option (too scared) so its not that. Sooo frustrating. Anyone else get this?

On another unrelated point, the AI seems so crap now, been playing Shanghai and played ebdon, Selby, Davis - they barely seem to be able to string a break together. Certainly the highest I recall is a break of 50 odd by Ebdon. I have been giving them chances but they rarely clear the table, I have been playing without using the overhead and still I am coasting through matches without even making big breaks.

Starting to lose faith in this game, to be a challenge. Blade should fix the save option as a bare minimum when they fix the online problems.

Behold I have the answer to your problem, first open the nearest window*, then stand about 4-5 feet away disk in hand, then proceed to extend you arm at a rapid rate of acceleration flicking your wrist and loosening your grip on the disk. If done correctly and with enough accuracy your problems now mysteriously vanish.

*For best results use an upstairs window.

I have no answer on this, but like to hear others about it too.

These are realistic scores, but they should make it harder for humans to score so easy. It is the humans who make rediculously high breaks.

Agreed with hanterp, human player is the problem in this case ... too easy for them to score high breaks, especially with button pushing.

I wouldn't say these are realistic scores. Pro players often are capable of stringing a break together.

We all know for a half decent player the game is too easy for humans. (long aiming arrows, which are available in overhead view too!!)

That't just what I said in my post you quoted.. people score too easy!

Brettski - you forget one thing. Even a crap game has a trade in value.
