    In real golf all players get to see the slope of the green and how the ball reacts to that slope, regardless of who is putting. Why doesn't WGT have the slope lines showing for all players once you're on the green, instead of just for the person who is presently putting? Wouldn't it make more sense and be more realistic?

    I have to agree with this idea. We all see it in real life games why not on here as well!

    Thanks!

    Whilst this is true, in real golf you cannot stand in line of the player taking the shot. so you only see the break from a different angle, whereas on WGT you do see from in front or behind with the exception of the grid lines. I suppose if you could move your avatar around the green to look at different angles it may be different. And why do you want to see your opponents putt/grid unless you have similar putts?

    Many would say the game is too easy (when you look at sub 50 scores) so why make it easier. If the concern is for conceding a putt in match or alternative matches all I can advise is know your greens. I am happy to concede a dead straight 5 footer but make someone putt that nasty sub 3 footer by knowing the greens.
