Will follow this. I'm playing as James Cahill and won my Riga qualifer 2-1 v Judd Trump. Had to double the final black to win. Using amateur aim though, but medium difficulty and medium match length. Keep it going man
Your reviews are GREAT!! (love your Geordie accent too). Gonna follow real closely. Great timing too, seeing as the WC's are just around the corner!! Keep up the great reviews!!!
And don’t ever use amazon again for anything else I would add......do the world a favour......when you use amazon.....you are contributing towards a one way to ticket to Mars for Jeff and his chums.......fuck Jeff Bezos and everything he represents.
Cracking first career video, nice to see Wells giving you a good challenge but some brilliant shots played, by both players! Lift off is certainly confirmed ;)
Just so you know you can press start and return to the main menu and it will save the progress of the match when you return in career mode. So no need feel pressure to finish those super long matches ☺️
Apologies if you say this in the video, but what difficulty are you playing on? Shame you can’t change difficultly atm from what I’ve seen, I want to start on medium but then I might be wanting to play on hard after a few tournaments
I heard you say about the pro aiming aid and I knew you would be using it having watched your other videos, just wasn’t sure on the difficulty. Do you think they will put in a patch to be able to change the difficulty, aiming aid and match length during a career mode?
Does it matter what aiming aid u have it on or is it more on the difficulty because for me I Ely I’d rather have amateur aiming aid on to start at least but hard difficulty or should that be based on how good u are more?
Can you compare the physics to Virtual pool 4, snooker mode? Because, the graphics are simmilar to WSC '09, and thus, the physics in this game must be near to perfection if I'm gonna buy it...
The close ups look so realistic but AI is really bad and they’re getting rest out for shots when they really don’t need it. I do like that comps have the proper frame distances.
Great content mate! So tempted to buy this tonight, is the ai op in regards to never missing or do you get the occasional chance like real life snooker?
I absolutely love snooker so in turn have waited a long time for this to be released. I found WSC 11 decent for back in the day but extremely easy. Is this one more of a challenge mate?
@@CaptainGoodspeed I'm an old school Snooker nut, Wattana the greatest middle pocket potter. I'm like you play the game in real life i'm century break standard. Love your videos keep it going.
@@thewidowmaker4037 He's a cracking player is James! Definitely one I would have went for if I didn't do Ronnie! Glad you like the videos! Keep up the great work on your side too!
I looked up the ps4 trophies for this game and having to win 50 online games, record no of world championships and get a 147 sounds too difficult. But I'm too big a snooker fan to not get this.
Quick question, I’ve not heard too much about this game but with career mode.. can you create your own character and go through career with him? Instead of choosing one of the Pro’s.
CaptainGoodspeed yeah same find with the beginner aim you can pot from anywhere!! Just had a 136 break in this tournament :) few patches to sort out bugs etc this will be a great game
@@CaptainGoodspeed yeah cheers mate. I've cancelled my order and bought it on the PlayStation store so i can download it now. I've waited long enough for a new snooker game as it is! 😂
@@CaptainGoodspeed Yeah I just thought I'd mention it, Ive got the snooker game in Ps4, had my first century, although it's on the amateur mode?! Haven't yet won my first career mode trophy though?!
Can I use a mouse or joystick to perform a cue stroke? The idea of power bar is only for those who know little about snooker and is not suitable for advanced players. In real game, cue speed, back swing, follow through, etc., are important elements in cue ball control.
In the new trailer today you can hear when a player hit the ball harder it made a thud sound! Im very curious to know if they will patch the fact that when you play a power shot it sounds like you've played the shot dead weight! lol! loving the game so far though ;)
Gary Lennon you cant change it plus I’ve found that medium difficulty is to easy I played the first two qualifiers and didn’t lose a frame (best of 7 and best of 9) then I started a new on on hard and same format as before but this time I didn’t win a frame ai needs a lot of work
Gary Lennon I think the ai also plays more realistic shots on medium over hard idk if you’ve ever played madden but all madden is hardest difficulty and it reminds me of that unrealistic the cpu never drops a pass on all madden but on all pro you whoop there ass but the CPU plays more realistic
@@josephvalenti1508 so stick with medium? BTW I wonder are all the opponent's on medium all the same? Would Ronnie set on medium be exactly the same difficulty as ken Doherty on medium ?
Gary Lennon haha I’m literally about to test that out I have a match against number 4 John Higgins in medium and I’m 128 Ashley carty qualifier of riga masters best of 7 so I’ll let you know cause I was also curious about that I know the top 20 on hard is ridiculous
Got the game today. Got to say I'm enjoying it other than the pockets. They seem overly tight. Even when the aiming aid is in the centre. They need to improve on that
HOW DO WE SEND A INVITE CODE TO INVITE A FRIEND TO A GAME???Please answer fast we trying to join now online on steam??? please help? You online? Great vid:)
@@CaptainGoodspeed thanks for the response. I brought the game last night and first impressions are good but slightly iffy..As a semi professional snooker player in my youth i know my way round a snooker table and where they got it right and spot on in places it falls over big time in others...like using the rest 3/4 inches from the cushion..being plumb on the black or blue and opting for a baulk colour?? the aiming system as well is frustrating to say the least...a 12 foot pot and you cant see the angle..use free roam 'Q' thats useless. whaoh and i forgott about an overhead view...and the circle indicating the cue ball that shows on the object ball just doesnt follow the path its aiming....i love snooker that much that i will continue to play but rather than being a good game with flaws this could be a great game with some tweaks and for god sake get rid of Neil foulds ridiculous commentary..."what a great shot" and hes on the cushion with no pot.......oh and i forgot to mention the never stop rolling cue ball :O just goes on and onand when it should stop just goes on and on lol
Can anybody help me I have snooker 19 and I started my career mode but I have a issue my players do not shake hands before the match anyone know how to sort it out please
@@CaptainGoodspeed do you find it annoying when the ai is snookered on all colours that whatever colour they hit is what they choose would like to see colour choice added for CPU characters
Still no release for pc they have delayed the release they said hope too have it resolved soon. Might end up being tomorrow my guess. Lot of ppl mad on steam right now.
Are they going to feature John Virgo's commentary in the future? I miss his "Where's the cue ball goin'?"! trademark phrase. Dennis would be good too. PLEASE, no Ken Doherty though!!!
Shocking Ronnie lost n out mark Williams is the dark horse now n shocking wont let his kids say gd luck to his dad from the boss of snooker n staff etc
@@beastaree5646 never played red dead ² however I have played other pool an snooker games that have way better graphics....I mean look at the table is definitely below average
looks pleasing to the eye .. but the physics are way off ? and why was your opponent using the rest from 1/4 way up the table ?? gameplay seems poor .. better off with flash snooker on FB , much more realistic action ..

9 years in the waiting and this snooker 19 is absolute trash nowhere near as good as previous ones released there's no create a character nothing this game is sooooooooo poor they shouldn't have bothered creating a new one or at least take it to someone who knows how to make games properly can't believe how let down I have been by this graphically it's poor gameplay is poor the whole setup is poor what an absolute waste played 5 mins turned it off and won't be returning to it 9 years since last snooker release and this is the best they can come up with seriously mugged off proper!!!
We need John Virgo on commentary! “WHERES THE CUE BALL GOING”
Aidan yes XD
Love the passion this guy has for snooker. Keep those vids coming dude.
I love your commentary, "well...that was just terrible cueing" - "decent chance to take the opening frame here", lol it's great
Haha! Cheers mate!
Joe I missed your snooker 19 videos so much I’m gonna watch them all again because I can
Enjoy!
5:28 "wheres the red going?!" excellent commentary. you could be a real snooker announcer
Haha! Thank you!
I’m sure this series will bang for you mate. This game doesn’t look like my cup of tea but you’re quite the snooker buff so I’m sure you love it :)
Will follow this. I'm playing as James Cahill and won my Riga qualifer 2-1 v Judd Trump. Had to double the final black to win. Using amateur aim though, but medium difficulty and medium match length. Keep it going man
Thank you mate!
@@CaptainGoodspeed can any1 explain what difficulty level does in career? Does it make AI miss more on easy?
Been away for the week so time to watch all your career mode vids, keep it up lad!
Your reviews are GREAT!! (love your Geordie accent too). Gonna follow real closely. Great timing too, seeing as the WC's are just around the corner!! Keep up the great reviews!!!
Great part 1, and great review too! You must be playing more Snooker than some of the pros at the moment!
This looks really good, delighted to see the full tournament schedule. I just wish I hadn't ordered via Amazon!
I'd recommend buying it from somewhere else at this point!
I nearly pre ordered from amazon glad I didn’t now
And don’t ever use amazon again for anything else I would add......do the world a favour......when you use amazon.....you are contributing towards a one way to ticket to Mars for Jeff and his chums.......fuck Jeff Bezos and everything he represents.
Argos have it cheap!!
365 games is cheap as well I got mine from there

I now mate - great feature! Thanks!
CaptainGoodspeed know
Just found your channel. I have yet to win a match on Snooker 19 but to be fair... I'm not a good player. Maybe your videos will help me improve! :D
Apologies if you say this in the video, but what difficulty are you playing on? Shame you can’t change difficultly atm from what I’ve seen, I want to start on medium but then I might be wanting to play on hard after a few tournaments
Hard difficulty with pro aiming aid :)

Does it matter what aiming aid u have it on or is it more on the difficulty because for me I Ely I’d rather have amateur aiming aid on to start at least but hard difficulty or should that be based on how good u are more?
I've always had hard AI so can't really say
Yeah so have I joe but I’m not sure what aiming aid to have and if it matters if it’s on hard difficulty
Can you compare the physics to Virtual pool 4, snooker mode?
Because, the graphics are simmilar to WSC '09, and thus, the physics in this game must be near to perfection if I'm gonna buy it...
Great vids mate love snooker ive hit that like and sub button hopefully il see more this game looks amazing!

Great content mate! So tempted to buy this tonight, is the ai op in regards to never missing or do you get the occasional chance like real life snooker?
You definitely get the odd chance! Depends who you're playing really
I absolutely love snooker so in turn have waited a long time for this to be released. I found WSC 11 decent for back in the day but extremely easy. Is this one more of a challenge mate?
Certainly a steep learning curve
I fucking love this series
Choosing Ronnie is nothing more that activating the cheat mode. Great vid.
Hahaha! Well I wouldn't enjoy winning with Wattana :P

Is there anyway of changing my aiming aids after I've started my career? I can't seem to find a way to do it..
Not as yet
I looked up the ps4 trophies for this game and having to win 50 online games, record no of world championships and get a 147 sounds too difficult. But I'm too big a snooker fan to not get this.
have you got any shot power tips,really struggling with hitting everything too hard
Always play with less than 50% if playing with plain ball or top spin, much harder if using back spin
Looking forward to getting this on pay day 👌 love a snooker game on console
Hope you enjoy!
Far less frustrating than watching the actual Ronnie play, no arguments or shenanigans...
Does Ronnie play with both hands in this game?
Unfortunately not
Quick question, I’ve not heard too much about this game but with career mode.. can you create your own character and go through career with him? Instead of choosing one of the Pro’s.
No you can't - otherwise I would be doing :)
CaptainGoodspeed damn that’s pretty disappointing, never mind!
CaptainGoodspeed just continued watching and heard you say about the create a player! Apologies
What difficulty are you playing on and what aim you using?
Hard and pro
CaptainGoodspeed yeah same find with the beginner aim you can pot from anywhere!! Just had a 136 break in this tournament :) few patches to sort out bugs etc this will be a great game
I have snooker 19 now is amazing I might be Ronnie O’Sullivan
Wny is it when i line up the shot perfectly it misses? Ever freaking time
You mustn't have lined it up right ;)
@@CaptainGoodspeed each side of the line is touching the cushuion. Ive even gone back after recording and looking in share factory
I had this on pre order from Amazon, I looked today and it says it'll arrive may 7th?!
They didn't order enough copies, I'd recommend buying it from somewhere else
@@CaptainGoodspeed yeah cheers mate. I've cancelled my order and bought it on the PlayStation store so i can download it now. I've waited long enough for a new snooker game as it is! 😂
Love this mate. You should do a young pro career too work your way up with wonderkid
If they add in the option of having two careers, I will definitely do this
And I thought I was bad you’ve give me hope thanks
Do you get the win if people disconnect online? I hope so as that has killed all other previous versions for me.
I'm 99% sure yes, but this hasn't happened to me yet
Does career last more than 1 season? How long if so?
I'm assuming an unlimited amount of seasons
There is a trophy/achievent that you have to win 8 world championships so a lot more than one year
Liam Jones Good stuff. Thanks for the info!
Cannot wait for 2 then I can get it
What’s your highest break so far?
Hmmm 128 I think but don’t quote me on it
Are you from Newcastle mate?
I'm from South Shields (not far from Newcastle). Live in Greater Manchester now though
@@CaptainGoodspeed Yeah I just thought I'd mention it, Ive got the snooker game in Ps4, had my first century, although it's on the amateur mode?! Haven't yet won my first career mode trophy though?!
Does it matter what pro or rising star you use in terms of attributes
No it doesnt
Can I use a mouse or joystick to perform a cue stroke? The idea of power bar is only for those who know little about snooker and is not suitable for advanced players. In real game, cue speed, back swing, follow through, etc., are important elements in cue ball control.
No idea mate, I play on the PS4
@@CaptainGoodspeed Does the game allow you to use your ps4 joypad to control cue stroke?
In the new trailer today you can hear when a player hit the ball harder it made a thud sound! Im very curious to know if they will patch the fact that when you play a power shot it sounds like you've played the shot dead weight! lol! loving the game so far though ;)
I’m sure they will! I noticed that
Is this game also 4 Mac Processor or is it running only 4 Windows?
Not sure mate, sorry!
Can you change the match length during a career mode
Doesn't look like it
@@CaptainGoodspeed How weird, you should really be able to
CaptainGoodspeed thanks I appreciate before I start my career your content is great thanks
I've started a career on medium AI difficulty , can I change it to hard during a season or do I need to start a new one?

how do you have such low brightness?

I remember Jimmy Whites Whirlwind Snooker on Amiga, and u cud fast forward the CPU .....miss that feature.
You can fast forward them on this game
loads of glitches this game needs a update also online needs the game timer turned off also change to play more than 1 frame.
I might buy this game and do a career mode on it
Game looks decent enough but the AI plays some really strange shots.
Is this on ps4?
Yes
the AI just pots the ball , doesn't actually play for positional play, seems ill wait for them to sort all these things before I buy.
I'll stick with iSnooker the snooker club. Com till they do lol
Watching in 2024😎
I really wish they didnt start you out at 0 ranking trophies when you pick a player like Ronnie or Higgins who have 30 plus
I agree!
