  Here we have a difference of thoughts, instead of seeing all the faults in the new game we started helping our small club convert to new version, by always updating a link to down load new version, I would say 90 percent of the converts after 2 weeks , want some of the old things we were used to but don't want to return to old version, Including me. Now I respect everyone's choice, but if you really want to play golf like me with people I have played with close to 9 yrs some, you better embrace change, instead of fight it, Why? Well you can't win, so help your team convert and don't whine in front of them, doesn't show strong leadership. I was talking on the phone with a director today, we both prefer the new version now, I went back and played a game on old version ..... Dam it plays so slow compared to new version lol. but its up to you.

  instead of seeing all the faults in the new game

    For me . And I think a lot of others . Started out very optimistic on the possibilities of this new PCEA . Built from the same platform as Mobile .

    Maybe all of the people screaming for " cross platform play " .Will finally be happy .

    Maybe PCEA will also be a stepped up improvement from the Mobile . Offering a whole host of newer and or similar features for this platform .

    Some perhaps will never give it a chance .

    Others may try with skepticism .

    I was optimistic and open minded . I gave it a chance .

    33 hours of play to this point . I cannot get it . Cannot play it at all . I cannot figure the meter . The yardages are different . Smoothness of play is bad . Meter is inconsistent . Load time at start is 5 minutes . Load between games is 2 to 3 minutes .

    While I am still playing WGT . I am hoping at some point to go on a tear and make TL .

    That could not happen on PCEA . So it's a disappointment for me .

    CHEERS to all the players that are feeling it . That's GR8 . Especially groups or CC's that make it work .

    More power to you .

   

  *.*.*.*.*.*.

    Not to mention just about every time I logged on . I get this notice of demotion .

  
  
  
  
  

   

    I know it means nothing . They are still a nuisance .

    Oh . And these forfeit notices . Because I can't load fast enough .

  

  

  

   

    And more of these than I've had in years .

  The new pcea version for 2021 .

  People on the main forum are starting to embrace it .

  Seems like if you give it a chance for a month or so it ain't so bad .

  For me the meter being vertical instead of horizontal really does my brain in .

  A bit like rubbing your tummy and patting your head at the same time .

  The Big question is when Wgt retires the Flash version will there be cross platform play?Early Access Pc/Mac VS mobile/tablet play.Anyone have any info?If that is not going to happen I think there where be a mass migration to the other golf game that has 100's of course to play.

  Bloody well hope so.

  For many strictly mobile players, me inc, this is so long overdue.
  Would go so far as being a total game-changer in fact. 

  If you discount the showdowns - which are pretty much unplayable due to apparently unfixable bugs (unless wanna play Russian Roulette with your creds), I’m struggling to think of a SINGLE thing the mobile community has had to enhance the game in nigh on 2yrs now. 
  The promise of a new course? Not happened.
  New/additional camera angles for PCEA - where are they for mobile?
  Mobile players crying out for easy-to-access, routine, cross-platform play? Still looks a pipe-dream right now. 

  All in all, essentially nothing whatsoever in two years for a v.large proportion of the game’s player base.
  Staggering, really.

    I think question is not " When Flash is discontinued . Will there be ................?

    What I mean is . Nothing related to Flash effects PCEA in any way .

    TheSpark4 has it right . Will these features ever come to truition ?

    That is the $ 64,000 question .

  Not really because unless I'm mistaken "Mobile" players still can't play with anyone on a PC regardless whether their on PCEA or Flash? 

  Cross-platform works between PCEA and Flash yes ...But if WGT removes the flash game then no cross-platform just like it has always been
