Champ,
So trying to help you guys out I gathered 7 players on Skype and we decided to run our own little "Test" session ...
Here's what we did ...I set up a Skins game and then I simultaneously searched for "THREE" random players..
At the very same time 7 players searched to randomly "JOIN'' a skins game(with the identical parameters I set up) and after three unsuccessful attempts (meaning nobody showed up in my lobby and the 5 mins expired) on the 4th try ...one of the seven magically finally appeared !!
We than ran the identical test scenario in Match play and stroke play and each of us (That's 8 different guys) tried setting up games one at a time (not just me) while the rest of us would then search to join the exact game being set ...And nothing but horrible results...
Over two+ hours invested and not ONE game went off...All the time talking with each other on Skype to insure we were all on same page...
In all the time we spent never got more than the occasional 1 of us showing up in someone's lobby
SO.....What this tells me is simply the "RANDOM" part of joining or inviting is obviously flat out broke (For lack of a better word)...
And I just don't understand what's the issue of having friends say available or Busy???? Or RED or GREEN whatever works easiest?
