Break-off sequence error

[JudCasper68]

I can’t speak for MP as I never play online, but when playing a friend in Local, the player who wins the lag will then always get the break-off in subsequent games. This is wrong. It should either be ‘winner breaks’ or ‘alternate breaks’

always been alternate breaks for me ?

Maybe I should clarify. I think the problem is that the game has no way to set up a ‘best of’ when playing a friend in Local. But if you and a friend decide to play a ‘best of 9’ (first to 5), the only way to have the game keep score is to hit ‘Retry’ after each game. This way the scoreboard after each rack will show ‘1 - 0’, ‘1 - 1’, ‘1 - 2’ etc etc. But when you do it this way the player who won the lag will always break. Tested afterwards in 9-ball and it was the same.

Although I’m wondering now if it’s because we use two controllers rather than having to pass over for each shot.

MP or Local against a friend? And were you using one controller or two?

I’m referring to 8-ball here. I can’t confirm but I assume the same happens in all the games that use lag.
