MJS74: There are players including top ones like Jakestanfill who are switching to Tiger Woods Online. More will follow.
Howdy MJS,
Just want to make sure we're all clear. The motivation for my foot out the door and heading over to TWO when Ryder Cup finishes is for one reason and one reason only, THE METER. It has become excruciating since the Sept 1 update and even worse since the one everyone is griping about now.
No I don't agree with adding superfluous junk to the game while ignoring the bigger issues like the myriad people with meter problems, being able to drop a club from the iron set, green mapping, fringe that acts like velcro, etc. This is still tolerable for me and could wait patiently until they implement these corrections. 24 freeze or spikes in 18 holes is beyond my comprehension. I have 2 laptops that are both above specs and run every other application in the world close to flawlessly, except WGT.
Far too many systems are incompatible with WGT for them to keep ignoring it. Over the last year I have recruited 30+ people to the site. Guess how many still play WGT? 2 yes 2. The rest never had the chance to get hooked like I did when meter actually performed properly. The only reason that each stated they won' t play anymore is the swing meter. Guess where they play virtual golf now? Exactly, TigerWoodsOnline, and all state they simply don't have meter issues there.
Makes you wonder about the company's priorities and long term sustainability. BETA forever, or at least until the money dries up. If the venture capitalists funding this game ever read these forums, I strongly believe the money would be gone in a FLASH. Pardon the pun but couldn't resist.
