No doubt. I'm doing the 8-ball ladder and she's the final boss of that one too. I don't know how I'm going to manage 4 out 7.

Anyone else having issues connecting to the servers tonight?

[jyoung]

Yep, the servers have been down all day again.

I got several more messages today from people trying to figure out if they were playing me or my DNA. Hopefully they get the server stuff straightened out soon.

I played your DNA tonight lol.

Pretty close match.

[Pappy Knuckles]

Madison can suck it lol. That amateur circuit was a grind. I think I'll give the 9-ball a shot next instead of going up to the next level.

Does anyone know if it possible to turn off the names that constantly pop up announcing they are now online? I'd like to not see this. Thanks

After a lot of searching the web, I found that this can't be turned off. I hope they patch it.

There is no way to disable the messages that appear at the top of the screen. The only thing you can turn off in the options is the slow-motion cutscenes.

The server errors have gotten so bad now that I can't even play an online quick match. VooFoo really botched the launch of this game. I guess they weren't prepared for the number of people that ended up buying it.
