  salamicus:

  I expected that I have some sort of resume on that round..but no. It's just forgotten like it never happened.. It says play again from hole no.1

  I believe this is just one of several different types of bugs or glitches that still occur in the showdown events.  I experienced the same scenario as you in one of the events I played.  I experienced other examples in the other events.  I don't think I have had a completely glitch free event in any of the 3 I played, which is why I chose to sit out this one aside from the timing being directly over the holidays.

  I suspect those in rookie and veteran likely see these more often because you run into a wider range of players... while it still occurs in the expert group it doesn't happen as often. 

  It is also hard to know what is causing these with the increased play in the coin rooms now coming from some using the Early Access version, which can also play in the mobile coin games now -- could be some additional glitches or compatibility issues coming from or between purely mobile devices and those using PC EA.

  Thanks Eleni and Riley for your response...I see now that Im not alone in that issue and that I had some luck to finish past "showdowns" normally. Hopefully soon it will work as it should

  Or second... We have a mobile game ,but it is just starting point..because in a time of 1 year we will change it to more realistic and competitive golf game..at least to what we had in flash

  That's like wgt is  thinking what to do :))

  Well said, salamicus. 

  There are people that have the flash version so ingrained into their lives that they will never accept anything else. They will scream and cry and whine about their helplessness all the way until the end of 2020 and then will have no game to play. I, for one, don't care if they open their minds to a modified WGT experience and never make the change. Who needs their negative energy in the new version anyway. Despite the work remaining to be done, I like the PCEA game. Anyone wanting to see just how playable it is should take a look at the videos Young46 has posted to youtube showing his growing mastery of the new version.

  No need for taking sides on it... I think Wgt came up with what they had as only possible replacement. They just doing it in some way that looks to me like: two people in their free time patching the game ..Waiting to see will it leak somewhere, then patch it again

  Somehow, no active response or some developer diary in forum..Everything is left for players to assume something and debate. Sometimes looks that certain players knows more about how game works then WGT themselves :)

  Says the guy who can't hit the broad side of a barn after ten years of trying. I can see why you embrace it, you can't do much worse.

  He could have worded it much better... "ingrained into their lives" does come across harsh...

  but I do understand the frustrations having played on both platforms... and while I don't see nearly as big of a difference as others... I can imagine and understand why people are so frustrated...

  sit in a dark room and walk out into broad daylight... your eyes are going to hurt for awhile...

  play thousands of rounds on a desktop PC reading dot flow and allow your "eyes to be acclimated" to reading those greens... 

  now walk outside, and see a change in green speed dot flow on PC EA… miss a few putts... you are going to feel like you are walking around blind... until people get acclimated.

  Yes the sponsor apparel feels gimmicky and I have never felt it was particularly good for the game.  I hope it is limited in the events it can be used it.... otherwise, eagle will be the new birdie and there will be even more pressure to make birdie and par will start to feel like a bogey.  

  Driver is even too long and 3wd is the better play on a number of par 4's in the show down events and you are still driving the green.  It is a bit silly in that regard.

  Sorry bub, but I never was competitive or even tried to master it.  I just play for something to do and to have fun. You made Tour Champion. No one cares or is even impressed.  A little more than a year from now you will not even be missed.

  Yes. My apologies for sounding a bit ornery as well, but I just get tired of the same response from the same individual on the subject.

  Of course it is ingrained, many thousands of rounds and great friendships getting it that way, not to mention the time, money and effort involved. For what? To have the game we have been loyal and dedicated to replaced by the "Most Unrealistic Golf Game" around?

  I didn't invest in this to play a bunch of fly-by-night kids taking a break from Fortnite to swear, quit and make a mockery of the game before they move on to the next app 10 minutes later.

  : )  - I get it, I do... I can grasp the frustration... I still find aspects of it annoying at times myself... 

  Not sure anyone is going to leave Fortnite for WGT with payouts like this...   yes, that's right 100th place finisher made 50K and 1st place was 3 Million.  

  That game has all kinds of money flowing and look at their comical graphics :).   Just watching a few minutes of their world cup one day gave me headaches.  It's a crazy world.
