Re: Tips For New Version???

  I was hoping players that have been using the new version would answer some questions and give some tips on this thread. I'll start by asking  the questions I had as I played today for the first time.

  1) When hitting to the green, I really like the pin view (looking back from the flag to the player). Is there any way to get that view? (It came up for me one time when I was close, but that was all I could get. On flash version, any time I was closer than the club I was using distance wise, I could change it to "pitch", hit the camera icon, and it would give me the view from the pin. I could not get that to work on this new version.)

  2) If I can not get the view I want, does anyone know how many feet across the grid squares are that I am seeing on the greens? From the pin view, I always called them 2 feet and they seem the same here. However, the view I am seeing on the new version (not the view from the pin) has huge squares in the grid. 

  I hope my questions made a little sense. Thank you in advance for any help on this. 

  Cheers   Brett

  1. I think you “should” be able to get to the pin view screen by what you’ve already stated. Choose a wedge or even the putter and hit the camera icon. You may need to play around with different club/shot types to get it. It might not work or be available for all holes though.

  2.  Not sure of exact measurement as I use my own “numbers” for different shot types. But if you’re looking for that just move the grid towards/away from the pin and see what the difference is in shot distance

  if you want reverse view, go to putting, then to camera then it should reverse for you, there are a few spots where you cant get reverse view but most shots you should be able to, after you go to putting, you might have to click the camera button a time or two before it does it

  here's a tip .. no one is playing the new version so when you try to play a rd no one is on there ... frustrating because I kind of don't wanna be the guys at the last minute and I see good reason now the  putting meters  and speed are different which means having to adjust the way we putt.. now the workaround !!! find a game on old version and then once your in a game close window to taskbar then launch new version ... and you will be playing new version while others are playing old version.. till Jan 1 ,,PS !!, it only work that are on the new version such as Cabo and Whisler

  Waste of time playing new version, it can take up to three hours just to get a game on alternate shot and many others. 

  I wouldn't recomment it to even someone i hate.

  Graphics are good but that's about it.
