  axstrat:

  A number of club members have suggested this should be looked at when misshitting the ball and have it go in the trees or in weeds for a lost ball or wherever etc...

  (some examples that were given)

  • A raccoon falling out out of a tree
  • a puff of feathers
  • a cats screech (sound byte)
  • somebody yelling to watch out (sound byte)

  There reasoning behind this is because instead of having a WTH moment or cussing or or having to replace the mouse and/ computer screen or laptop or just outright quitting the game,  that it would ease the tension and make them laugh it off

  Most obvious one: if a ball is headed for trees, OB, etc., have the avatar cup his right hand to his mouth, point the club and left hand in the direction the ball is going and shout, "FORE!"

  Along this same line, not every OB ball should automatically be "lost" from the player's equipment. As in the real world, there should be a possibility for the player to retrieve it, depending upon the terrain/cover type where it went (if there is no data for that area use the closest point for which you have data, or the area under the flight path adjacent to the point where the ball went out of your data coverage).

  Another request: In multiplayer when a player has the chat window closed and another player sends a message, the chat button blinks orange a couple of times then stays orange until the chat window is reopened. This feature is useful, but for the player whose turn it is, it should be delayed until after he takes his shot - we don't want any distractions; that's probably why we closed the chat window in the first place. Please either delay this blinking/bright button alert, or give the option to disable it entirely. Another possibility would be to make it more subtle; perhaps just a thin outline around the button could change color instead of the whole button.

  More feature/improvement requests:

  For multiplayer games-
  When the game detects that a player has apparently disconnected and the players who are still connected have to sit through the "waiting" screen, the chat history does not follow them -- and then if any chat was entered while waiting, it gets wiped again when missing player reconnects or is dropped and the (remaining) players are returned to their game in progress. Please fix/upgrade the software so the chat history is not lost during these transitions.

  For all games-
  How much of a resource hog would it be to temporarily store replays of all shots taken in a round? It would be nice, for example, if we could review replays from the score card screen after a round is finished, and choose from there if we want to save any to our profiles. It's not second nature to me (and I suspect many of us), in the excitement of having just made a great shot, to remember to save the replay immediately.

  I'd like to be able to edit the descriptions (titles) of my saved replays. Often in the middle of a multiplayer game one doesn't want to take time to compose something meaningful and descriptive. It might even be helpful if the WGT software could compose a simple description, such as hole number, distance, type of club, shot, lie. Then a player could just click the button to save it, or if not in a hurry, edit/rewrite it before saving.

  Don't know if this is the right place to voice this concern, but here goes:  I would like to see the lower tier players (me) have the opportunity to reach the fairway. It's difficult to enjoy the game when you're at such a disadvantage from the start.

  In multiplayer when putting, other players' balls on the green should appear as markers.

  Hello and Good morning to ya all, I have started to read this post last night and I was trying to get to the last page and because of the length I didn't make it though and I have to go to work but I was wondering about a button to push for us to get to our country club from any where. Say from the wgt community drop box. It does have it on our home page but every time I want to go there I have to go back to my page or CC in community. something that would allow us to get there by skipping a few steps. Just a thought I like to throw out there.

  Hit'em Straight and Long, pjschaub

  Doesn't your browser have a home page button?  I use that.
