Re: Multi Player with New Arcade Version

  I'm trying to learn to like it.  I have never ever been able to get a matchplay, Alternate shot, stroke play, skins,  nothing but coin games.   Any body have any ideas why I can't get good old normal multiplayer games like on Flash, where they are little to problem to find.

  The new version is definitely less sociable even playing coin games, with having to click the chat window.  

  I have no idea what the the coins are good for.  Every time I get matched it is with a hack through maybe master, most are using starter balls and clubs, (they are pretty good with them tho).  I wonder if WGT is making tons of money with this new arcade version since the starter balls and clubs are free.

  I digress, so is there something I am missing about not being able to get a multiplayer game going other than the coin games?

  I only play mobile and none of those things are available on mobile, so maybe the new version you talk of is aligning to the mobile game . I agree it seems unfair that we can’t all play all the versions .

  Max, have you tried setting Apparel Bonus to OFF when you set up your multiplayer games?

  You have 236 friends and you are in a good club , Finding a game should not be a problem , Discord is a good way to find games also . Coin games are for apparel only . You are right about players in the coin rooms , they are not very social most of the time .  The friends list on the new version is not accurate at all . It needs to be fixed for sure .

  Thanks Sam I will double check that, I do know I dont do the sponsorship thing. And I don't do the clothes or shoes that make the ball go further, just messes with my calculations

  Thx CE, yea I can go on our discord to try to find info and / or a multiplayer game.

  My wife is not crazy about me chatting on the opposite end of the couch while she's watching he chic flics tho.

  But the point is,  why does the arcade version always say "No game found"  (except coin games) when i have no trouble finding a game on flash.

  The coin games are kinda a fun addition but not to replace all the other games.

  I wonder if  WGT is going to lose many players and money if they really do completely a way with flash?
