- In local multiplayer games, there is a handicap system that allows each player to select a different level of Aiming Aid
- 2 different career paths in Career Mode (‘Pro Seasons’ where you start a career as any established Pro Player including players within the top 16, and ‘Rising Stars’ where you start off at the bottom of the rankings as a young up and coming snooker star of the future.)
- 2 online modes – Online VS allows quick skill based competitive online matches against random opponents as well as enabling friend vs friend matches.
- The Online Tournament mode runs events in line with the real world WSA tournaments. These are ranked matches where finishing position on the Tournament Leaderboard provides rewards that can be used to personalize your snooker pro/s.
