Ultimate 8 Ball Pool Version 4.2 is now available, and with it comes exciting new features & updates!
From smarter shot awareness to fairer Team competition—plus a brand-new Tour that puts precision and creativity to the test—these new features are designed to deepen strategy and reward skillful play.
Let’s break down what’s new and what’s coming soon.
🚨 NEW: Scratch Alert Cue Ball Stat
Scratching at the wrong moment can completely change the outcome of a match. To help you avoid costly mistakes, premium cue balls now include a Scratch Alert stat.
Here’s how it works:
The cue ball guide line turns red when your current aim and power are likely to result in a scratch.
The alert is dynamic, turning on and off as you adjust your aim or shot power.
This gives you real-time feedback so you can more precisely adjust before committing to your shot.
NOTE: If shots involve multiple ricochets off bumpers and other balls, the system may not always detect a potential scratch. Skill and experience still matter.
⚖️ NEW: Improved Team Scoring
Team leadership decisions now carry more weight than ever.
With new improvements to Team Scoring, booting a player from your Team will remove that player’s earned points from your overall Team score.
These improvements will…
encourage stable, well-managed Teams.
prevent score manipulation through frequent booting.
make every roster decision meaningful.
Think twice before booting a teammate—their points are on the line.
📊 NEW: Team Stability Report
Choosing the right Team just got easier!
Players can now view a 45-day Team Stability Report for any Team, including their own. This report provides insight into how stable a Team has been over time.
Team Stability Scores will…
Increase when players are added
Decrease when players leave
Decrease even more when players are booted
Whether you’re looking for a new Team or evaluating your current one, this report offers transparency into Team management and long-term commitment.
🔥 COMING SOON: Tour 11
A brand-new Tour is on the way, and it’s all about mastering advanced 8 ball shots!
In Tour 11, players must hit one of the green highlighted bumpers before sinking the 8 ball. Here’s how it works:
After selecting a pocket for the 8 ball, the opposing bumpers will highlight green
To make a legal shot, you must either…
Kick Shot: Bank the cue ball off a green highlighted bumper before hitting the 8 ball and sinking it
Bank Shot: Hit the 8 ball and bank it off a green highlighted bumper before it drops into the pocket
This Tour raises the difficulty and rewards players who can plan ahead and execute with precision.
