8 Ball Pool

Anybody that plays 8 Ball Pool should totally disregard the players that constantly get over 38500 points. Anybody that has played this game for any amount of time should know that there are not enough balls on the table. I have seen the point system on the game and it doesn't give you the points that it says it does. However there are some that have figured out how to cheat. I have seen 70000 scores so nobody can tell me that they don't.

Sure glad they are not winning money.

    I play 8 Ball but seldom check the scores.  For me - I just want to win and I usually do, altho one time my opponent actually ran the table on me!   My opponent is generally great on the long shots, but does not seem to know how to play position.  That gives me a good edge.

    I think my all time high was 36000.

      Speaking of 8 Ball...anyone have the game make a play for you?  I didn't even have my finger on the mouse button, just was aiming to make a shot, but no wear near the button...the shot went off on it's own???  I usually win too, but I didn't make 2 of these shots that the game made for me...but, I don't mind if I lose, but I sure don't want the game making any shots for me.  Anyone know what's up with that??  I have learned one thing too, the more you win, the harder the opponent plays.  Of course, the longer you play pool, the better you will get too...yeah, he is good on long shots, but can't seem to make some simple ones.  Don't always trust the line that helps you aim your shot either...it is NOT always accurate.  lol

      Many times, I have also had this turbo on the break that happens and the balls go crazy or the balls go super duper slow. Yes, the line isn't always correct. But I am telling you I have played 1000s of games and I almost got 38200 once missed my last shot on the 8 ball. Otherwise, my all-time score is 37000 once. So when I see these same people getting 38000 plus all the time and have seen 40000, 50000, 60000, or more I know that they have figured out a way to cheat. As long as they feel good about themselves is all that matters. The lines work better a lot of times if you don't pull the stick back all the way. 

      Stay Safe

        @ACB3  .  . . . . ..   you're right about the score.  You have to run the table and get the extra 5000 points to even come close to the 38500.   I rarely ever let the other player play.  If I don't run the table I hit the quit button and start again.  I am consistent on how I brake the balls every time and on occasion, the computer decides where the cue ball goes and what balls go in. 

        REALLY?????

        I limit myself to 5 tries and then go play something else.   lol

          So, it's the computer deciding sometimes the force too...or playing for you...I don't  mind losing any game, but I don't like it when the shot goes off & my finger isn't even on the mouse button that controls it.  Oh well...now I know.  I'm just glad I'm not the only one having a bit of problems in the games.  I usually win, although the computer does beat me from time to time...that's life, I suppose.  lol

          Try a different mouse.  I had that same problem until I switched to a different mouse.

          I stumbled upon how to cheat or maybe it's just bug in the game.  If you click on the icon to put english on the cue ball, afterwards you can drag the cue ball to wherever you want.

          No that isn't cheating you can move the ball anywhere behind the line.What is cheating is the same 4 or 5 people always getting their high scores. I break from the exact spot with the exact English and it really never breaks the same. I have played over 2000 games I have run the table 100s of times and only got 3700 points once. Stay Safe!

          Has anyone figured out why all of these GREAT players with top scores don't even have names or even initials just letters and numbers? 

          I still have not figured out how people get these OUTSTANDING scores ALL the time. And I am quite sure that you other regular 8 Ball players that only get 36000 points most of the time wonder as well?

          Come on AndreK917426 (whatever that means) you can do better than 39000 points. Seriously that is weak!

          Hi, Gamers! If your goal is to climb the 8 Ball Pool leaderboard, the first thing you’ll want to do is increase the game’s difficulty. Playing on medium mode gives you 50% more points and playing on hard gives you 100% more.

           

          From there, you’ll need to play precisely. Pocketing your own ball gets you 500 points; pocketing a ball without any fouls, such as scratching the cue ball, gets you 500 more. Of course, you’ll get a huge chunk of points—5,000—for pocketing the 8 ball and winning.

           

          That’s just the start. The players who make it to the top of the leaderboard take advantage of the game’s achievements, which give bonus points unaffected by difficulty. Never missing a shot gives you 3,000 points; winning a game after fouling every shot gives you a huge 10,000 points.

           

          Here’s the full list:

           

          • Leman’s shot (pocket 2 balls with opening hit): 5,000
          • One cue (win the entire game without ever letting the opponent shoot): 20,000
          • Double strike (pocket 2 balls in one shot): extra 1,000
          • Triple strike (pocket 3 balls in one shot): extra 3,000
          • Quad strike (pocket 4 balls in one shot): extra 10,000
          • Never miss (not a single shot that misses or fails to pocket): extra 3,000
          • Perfection (not a single foul): extra 2,000
          • Chain (pocket a ball after hitting at least 3 others): extra 2,000
          • Dumb luck (win a game after fouling every single shot): extra 10,000
          • Last stand (win when only an 8 ball is on the table, by pocketing it correctly): extra 5,000

          Hi Lynne,

          As I have tried to inform Arkadium many times before. The point system doesn't work! I play on the hard level all the time I just made a break shot and made three balls and only got 2500 points. I could go on and on about other point systems I have as I have said run the table 100's of times on the hard level and it NEVER gives me these points. Why dont you try it? Just do the break on hard and tell me you get 5000 points with 2 balls. Whatever some people have figured out a way to cheat or else my hard level isn't correct. I dont lie.!

          Fellow player ACB3:  In response to your 11/22/2021 posting, three balls on the break does, in fact, provide 2,500 points.  I have no idea the points as described by Lynne come from as I have never seen them.  See my post of 11/17 for more details about how many points are awarded.  With your posting of today, you have now labeled your fellow AARP members as "cheaters" in seven different postings.  These individuals (including me) have simply played the game as designed by AARP and are in no way cheating.  Thanks for reading this response.

          I just got 7 balls on the break of 8 ball on the hard level and only got 4500 points. I have done this many times and it doesn't change. What am I doing wrong?

          I wonder why the players that get 40700 like a858086k did today on Memorial day and every day wont even put their initials or a name letter numbers and letters they should be proud as heck to always get those top scores. Once again I have played 1000's of games on hard and the most I would have gotten was 38200 I missed the 8 ball and there was any more balls on the table. Wish I knew?

          Just ran the table on 8 Ball I got three on the break, made two at once twice, made three at once, and there were only 2 balls of the computers left and I only got 36500. If I would have gotten the last 2 oppenents balls it would have only been 600 points which would have given me 37100. How do the same people get over 40000 points?
