    gotta agree with most of this, ive seen posts/threads where wgt called it alteration as they dont want this game played in measures, sry that means the same thing as manipulation, umm golf is all about measures, have i missed something in the 30 yrs ive played..all in all this is a web game with good graphics created to make money....as most sites go-- pool ,snooker,pokies and even card sites,they all have the same thing going on,this i feel is to be excepted or walked away from.

    the thing that gets me is what it costs to play at the best level,..then the altering comes into it , which makes it waisted money on 50% of rounds... the fake wind is a complete insult to anyones intelligence and the meter speed changing ,lunging or slowing down before or at the ding.

    with a good meter for most ppl wgt loses alot of revenue ....basicly this is where wgt gets there revenue from, lost balls from meter spikes and laggin etc, players restarting to get a better score cause they had bugger all chance of shooting a good score which uses up balls & accessory's ...all up its there site, there rules,.. if its unacceptable to u find something else...cause i dont think this is gonna change or like ppl say , wont admit it cause ppl knowing they are being fouled will walk away....personally i keep playing for the interaction with my cc  and the ppl...but when it costs me that kind of money cause i cant earn enough on surveys etc which is getting worse and things are the same i will go back to pool & cards mostly

    I havent been playing as long as most or all who posted here but this is my input..

    I have hit a shot far right of the ding with the wind blowing right 10mph+ and my ball ends up landing far left and going in the water.

    It doesnt take a rocket scientist to figure out the deviation on water courses is pushed towards the water to make people buy balls. WGT will never admit this, even if they knew about it. But any free to play game that relies on a credit system is going to make their game in a way that will require people to buy more in game items.

    This is why I dont spend real money on this game ;) If it was accurate and realistic and not so buggy, then I'd be way more out to pay cash for credits and have the best clubs, balls, putter pal, etc.

    And it also doesnt take a "Tour Legend" to recognize these differences and deviations in ball trajectory...

    I have noticed this for awhile.. when I play Ready-Go's that cost more than 100 credits, funny sh!t happens (and usually not in a good way), especially  when I have a good round going.  The wind direction always frustrates me, but maybe everyone else has the same issue (can I get a helping wind on a par 5 or long par 4 in an RG for more than 100 credits please?  Actually, I'd settle for a crosswind).  Then there's the violent lipout issue.. Are the holes smaller in RG's for more than 100 credits than they are in every other event?  I realize we can't all be getting screwed here.. It just makes me not want to play the high-end events.. I can count on monkey business when I play those.. NO THANK YOU!

    ..sorta like this.. 18th at Cabo (piece o shite pin), I hit a 130 yard 9 iron, no spin, to a 140 yard hole (6 feet downhill with 9 mph tailwind), thinking it hits on the green somewhere but ends up below the hole...

    oh, no, I get this result..

    Ball hits the green and BACKS UP, rolls to the edge leaving me a less than 50% chance of a par..  ridiculous left to right break.. suck it, wgt...

    Zero point zero chance of making the par putt, I would say... WGT will have the hole moved in the middle of my backswing before they would allow the putt to drop.. Sometimes you can hit 3 perfect shots and take it up the azz on this game.. :)
