    I am in love with this games looks. It is cool to play in the real environments. However the controls, gauges and meters seem to be inconsistent. I have played many rounds and some have been ok but.....

    The wind gauge does not react the same way every time. Adding in the elevation changes same problem. When putting what would sometimes be just outside the cup is two or three cups out! Meaning it rolls more extreme from right to left at times making it a frickn guess even when perfectly hit. When not putting, bare misses have disastrous outcomes. Even perfectly struck shots sometimes seem to have random outcomes. It gets so frustrating I want to quit.

    I notice that other players seem to do well but they appear to have purchased, with their own actual money not credits, better equipment. I hope that that is not the only way to have some decent consistency. If it is, this game is garbage!!!!

    Stuttering on mine is getting worse. I am willing to invest more in this game if they can fix this problem

    From "Troubleshooting" ... over there ---------------->

    Why does my swing meter stutter?

    Swing meter performance is tied directly to your computer's RAM and CPU usage. It is true that you can have no connection to WGT's servers and still see the swing meter stutter. If there is an internet connection or WGT server issue, this would manifest itself as a pause after you have already made your shot and the swing meter action has already completed. That said, WGT is working on various changes to decrease the memory and CPU usage on your local machine.

     

    Or, you could check out this thread and see that the above statement is just complete hogwash.... lol

    You're not the only one sick of the inconsistencies. The physics of the game are out of this world. How can a human hit a perfect shot, judged with the wind to cut right into the middle of the fairway and then a bunker sucks up the ball (e.g. Bethpage). Now I know I'm shooting to avoid the bunkers and I am taking as long as Mike Hargrove used to take before getting in the batter's box during a baseball game!

    I studied physics, play golf, played all the Links games (Which maybe this one ought to model itself more from) and this just is not realistic. How can a human being possibly 3-putt from 3 feet away like I did on 7 @ Bethpage? Not possible. Even I have never 3-putted at my local course.

    PW from 21 yds away. 75% power, and it rolls 40 FEET PAST the hole. Developers... I'd re-think your strategy and hire a physics major on your dev team. Someone with reality in their minds. Maybe Stephen Hawking?

    The 34yd Pitch shot with the Rapture PW is a killer.  Never have come close to 34yds on any green.  It's more like 38-45yds.  Too bad there isn't some way to get rid of it, and find a decent replacement.

    FYI WGT is still in it's beta period. Because of this they r working on flaws and adding courses as time goes on.

    So far all I have seen is WGT add more ways for players to spend money.   The meter lag sucks....no question.   The total lack of courses to play sucks....no question.   The same old pin placements sucks....no question.  The inability to work the ball right or left sucks.....no question.  The ball distance inconsistencies suck.....no question.  Having to play BBlack on EVERY tournament sucks....no question.  The games graphics are phenomenal......no question.  WGT's failure to improve on gameplay overall...no question.  My ONLY question is WHEN will these "improvements" the players are "funding" going to materialize?
