Given the flood of posts on the recent changes in the last week, I thought a summary of major issues with the game, past and present, would help us all get our arms around these complex, interwoven issues.

Seeing the issues before this latest update, how the changes affected those issues, and the new issues spawned by the changes clarified the whole picture for me and hopefully will for you also.

Please keep in mind I'm a former average Master (64.5) now placed in the Legend tier but I did try hard to see the issues from all tiers and skill levels. That said, these are my views of the issues from a player's perspective.

Sorry the whole image doesn't fit in the width of a post. Click on the image to view the whole thing.

Great post by Andyson, I agree.

You can just click the text, danohi, and the text will open in full size, so that it becomes fully readable. Also, you might want to take a look at the WGTLS version of this thread, which already includes some specific player commentary.

G'day fellas. Time for some to just suck it up! It's a game,and a really good one. As a real golfer I love the way it plays.Frustrating as hell,like the real one,hehe.By the scores I see from those complaining I"m thinking that you would have to be gamers,no offence intended.The game will,I'm sure,get better with the few real bugs that there are being fixed.Clean up your Puters and your internet connection and then you can play just as *** as me.Hit 'em well all and enjoy.And by the way,if any of you would like to talk instead of typing,message me and I will send you some info on Danoh,s Ventrilo site where I play.Sorry Danoh,lol,Ed.

The fact that it now counts the shots and adds to your level, (and has little animation), EVERY time a player shoots....and the fact the game grew in popularity so rapidly, is my best guess at the bandwidth drain on the the servers which is causing the first problem in your list....

Upgrade your hardware WGT and increase your bandwidth for the amount of people that play here now.

I'm actually inclined to think it isn't necessarily WGT's servers that is the main problem, but the technology they use. We know it isn't the client side, because too many with great top-of-the-line hardware have issues too. But just about every Flash game out there have some kind of lag or stuttering issue.

The only way to get rid of the meter stuttering is if WGT develop this game with a different technology than Flash. It simply does not work to either ours or WGT's satisfaction. Then something needs to be done. Sticking the head in the sand is not the way responsible business are conducted. I'll be amazed if they don't recognize this themselves, as it has become pretty obvious, so I can only hope they have a twin-track approach now, and are trying out other technologies locally. It's the only way forward if they ever want to move this game out of the beta stage.
