NO MORE BALL IN HAND!!!!!
NO MORE BALL IN HAND!!!!!
The game is terrible! Sloppy shots count, unless in pro mode, and people can move the ball. At least make an option to agree to play ball in hand so players who say that they won't play ball in hand can't move the ball.  
Do you know the rules?
If you do a foul you are allowed to move.
Otherwise play Snooker there you can not move. Just in the D if you pot white. :)

totally agree 9 BALL FOUL-BALL IN HAND. Always was and will be unless agreement is made BEFORE break. Stop crying and play.
How many so called " experts " in 8 ball would be of the same rank without MOVING ?? or delibirately potting an opponents ball which is hanging over a pocket ( cheating ),with no attempt to pot or remove the opps ball whilst within the so called RULES ?? to gain advantage of a game.end of story.
blackball uses a uk rule set that doesn't allow ball in hand,8ball uses american ruleset which does.playing blackball would solve your ball in hand issues.
sloppy shots count in real life providing they go in,also in real life if you smash the white into another ball and and accidently pot it that also counts. 
In the real world "ball in hand" is the most accepted norm.

Personally I don't use ball in hand unless and until my  opponent does first. Or my notes show they have in the past. Or they

 every shot hoping something goes in.
