i have managed to figure out a way in which with slight tweaking you can make a break ace...it takes a little patience but you should be able to get one eventually!!!

firstly i used Ronnie as my player...but i have managed to do it with numerous others.

next take a look at the picture...

i positioned the cueball about a quater of a cueball away from the right hand side on the baulk line.

next set the power to full and position the cue to strike cueball top and slighty left.

Now go to overhead view and and try to position the angle so that the yellow line is just a little bit before the 3rd spot on the left hand rail, and that the cueball line is just before the 3rd spot on the far rail.

once everything is set up go back to normal view and hit the ball...if all goes well the cueball hits the cushion, springs back and hits the 9 ball in the left center pocket.

if not you will need to go to rewind mode restart last shot and follow instuctions again slightly moving the position of the object and cueball lines.

i have now tested this out for an hour and a half and managed to get 5 Break Aces...tedious but possible

Took about 30-40 attempts for me, but that was just slowly tweaking the angle and topspin. Worked like a charm :)

I haven't as yet unlocked this achievement, however I just wanted to thank you for what looks to be a great solution. I was trying more or less this setup last night a few times, but i'd not seen the solution at that point. I will try this later. You get a +1 from me simply for the effort you've gone to

Just got the achievement. Great guide, a couple of things I can add though, you can put the cue ball right up against the side cushion using this method and it works just fine, for anyone having trouble getting the right gap from the cushion. I also used less left hand side than you, I literally only moved it just off centre, maybe a milimetre from the middle.

Just some advice to add if people are struggling, not a criticism of this guide, it's great.

How stupid am I? I first managed to achieve this in Free Play (no AI opponent, so achievement didn't pop, obviously..) but the second time came quite faster than the first, so huge thanks for a great guide!

First this is a great guide, however I did this and no achievement, I did this in Versus mode vs an AI opponent and I was my created character.
Any idea's why this happened? :(

Rya not allowed to use rewinds? coz ive done this twice :\

So, just wanted to point out that I did it in versus against AI. First time I should have gotten it, I used rewind, and it didn't pop. Then I just kept restarting games instead, and finally got it to pop. So don't use rewind!

Fantastic! One thing I would say is that the screenshot you posted doesn't make it quite clear how close to that third spot you have to be. I hit it more or less in line with the left hand side of the yellow beam and got it after a couple of tries. I think that might have more to do with exactly how far out from the cushion you are though.

Thanks so much for those tips. Legend.

Before I begin, this trophy very much relies on luck as opposed to skill or tactics. You will most likely have to retry this over and over again as it is tough to pot the 9 ball from break. Firstly, you will need to enter “Quick Match” from the main menu’s list of options by pressing . Once you have proceeded, you will receive a list of sub options that separate the game modes. Click on 9 ball to proceed. You need to be taking break, so if the opponent gets given the break, simply press and quit back to the main menu. Repeat until you get break. As it is a quick match, you will be randomly assigned to a player. For the best results, you need a highly skilled player, preferably ranked in the top 10. The reason for this is that these players have higher skills, and therefore this trophy will be made slightly easier. Once you are happy with the player you have been assigned and you are given break, you are ready to go.

Pick up the Cueball by pressing and move it as far forward as you can, which is on the white baulk line. Now carry on moving the Cueball until it hits the farthest it can go towards the right hand side, so now in perspective to looking at the table from behind the baulk line, the Cueball should be in the furthest top right location possible. When you are happy it is in the correct location, simply press again to drop it back on the table. As you aim for the first ball using the , make sure that the Cueball is lined up so that you are hitting the thinnest point on the right hand side of the object ball. Ensure that you have increased the power to the maximum by pressing and also put full top spin on the Cueball by holding and pushing to the maximum. This may take quite a few attempts but rest assured it is one of the quickest methods. Here are some images I have taken of how the shot should roughly be lined up:

Should you fail first time, which is very likely, press and replay the shot by pressing . As you are on quick play, you have unlimited access to the replay function, thus meaning you can keep attempting to pot the 9 ball from break over and over again without any interruptions.
