    Tresclub:

    Have played about a dozen mp alt-shot matches since the upgrade, and have not seen any problems with the concede button as described above.  Maybe I'm just lucky.

    Icon Note fm the WGT News: 

    "Concede Putt/Hole option in alternate shot games"

    There is no concede hole option, only concede putt that I have seen thus far.

    Warren

    NOT talking about ALTERNATE SHOT!  This thread refers to Match Play between 2 players.  Not the concede hole option or anything else folks come up with.  Unless it is specific to certain players(which I believe to be highly unlikely) I have concluded that the concede PUTT option is not working properly on the back 9 of all four courses, however, it does work on the front 9 of those courses.  Please stick to the specific bug/problem, so it will be addressed.  If you want to chat up other issues, please start another thread.

    Clicking the concede putt Yes button on screen results in Putt already in Progress on Back 9 of St. Andys.

    Problem submitted in game client.

    Yup,  the NO button works, but not the YES button.

    Concede button etc:  

    A Four choice 'concede button' ought to be EVER PRESENT on match games.

    concede next stroke, concede hole, concede match, or "no" 

      Because according to the rules at usga.org, 

     

    Match Play Rule 2-4. Concession of Match, Hole or Next Stroke:

    A player may concede a match at any time prior to the start or conclusion of that match.

     

    A player may concede a hole at any time prior to the start or conclusion of that hole.

     

    A player may concede his opponent's next stroke at any time, provided the opponent's ball 

    is at rest. The opponent is considered to have holed out with his next stroke, 

    and the ball may be removed by either Side.     end of quotation

     

    A 'concede button' is currently only offered at WGT if both players are on the green.

    This an error.  Point is that there shouldn't be a 'concede button' offer limitation based 

    on yardage or lie.  Just like in real match golf the 4 option 'concede' button options 

    should always be availble.

     

    Concede button timer:  Please remove it.  

    There is no time limit or countdown timer to concede in a real golf match.

     

    Current status:  On St Adrews Front 9 and Back 9, match play, 

    pressing the concede next stroke "yes" button will not result in a concession

    because if it is pressed, a message appears stating, "putt already started - cannot concede"

     

    Control Feature that senses if other player has begun to swing or not is not working 

    and always assumes that he has begun.  No other result can be obtained.  

    Players cannot concede next stroke until this is fixed.  

    This problem did not exist before the counter was added to the concede button.

    Before that it was working just fine.

    This is happening to me also, and everyone ive played with in matchplay.

     

    When you try to 'gimme' it says that opponent has already hit ball. however, you can press 'no' and that ok its when you press 'yes' to concede putt.

    this started happening to me yesterday, 28th january. and everyone ive palyed against cannot concede a putt in match play.

    This obviously hasn't been fixed yet as we could not concede in any of the matchplay games I played today. Any idea when it will be fixed WGTicon?

    Yes, I hope early next week there will be something. I do not have an exact date but we are trying to make sure it's fixed for good.
