  Maybe I've missed something, but is there a way (Option) for the game to convert yards to feet when putting from the fringe?  Maybe some can do this in their heads, as for me, I need paper, pencils and a calculator (wink).  Anyway, its on my wish list for future updates.

  This little piggie is 1 foot, this little piggie is 2 feet and this little piggie is 3 feet.

  Ahh, never mind-giving away secrets.

  first, convert the yards into meters.   then, convert the meters into parsecs.   then, convert the parsecs into smoots, and finally the smoots into feet.

  lol, those are some old school measurements that these youngings have probably never heard of.    :-)

  I like to convert yards to feet using the cubit method. Now that's an ancient way of measuring Marioh. lol

  1 cubit = 18 inches. Noah's Ark, 300 cubits, or 450 feet.

  Or this method, measure the distance between your thumb and your pinky finger. Yep, 8 inches every time.

  Your foot is exactly the same length as your forearm from your wrist to the inside of your elbow. Try it.

  Joey, there's 3 feet in a yard. Just simply multiply the yardage times three, and you'll have your footage.

  20 yards = 60 feet

  30 yards = 90 feet and so on.

  I kind of like to see the yardage from the fringe sometimes, because then I can punch, or hit a full shot.

  cubits, now you're getting biblical on us rich.  :)

  But, back to the original thread starter, to find out the true distance in feet from yards when the shot is shown in yards, all you have to do is move the aim pointer forward and backwards (in the same shot line).

  So, for example, if the game says you're 5 yards away, and barely moving the aim pointer closer to the player drops down to 4 yards, then you know you're facing a "short" 5 yards.   Same applies for the opposite which would be a "long" 5 yards.   If it takes the same amount of movement both forward and backward before the yardage changes, then you know it's a true 5 yard, or 15 foot shot.
