    angelsgolfing:

    Enough players lets move on, if there are cheaters the hell with them. I mean really look at the time we waste about something you can,t do a damn thing about. As far as i am concerned cheaters , multi accounts , what ever is no big deal to me. I feel that if some of you are this concerned you must have more at stake than the rest of us. I play for the love of the game , i don,t play for credits if i did i would,nt cry when i got my azz handed to me. If a player really thinks there are cheats then don,t play for credits, just play,. I  never thought i would see grown ups worry there self ovwer a damn kids game lol get real enjoy manage your own game & let the cheaters go there way ... Move on players life is short have fun be pleasant & GOD BLESS YOU ALL ..........

    Well said, agree wholeheartedly.

    After all, what do you win (No Cards)?  Credits!  Not a lot you can do with them after you get them.

    Cheat for dimes? ridiculous!

    Need to wager?  Raise the excitement level?  Playing golf not enough?  Okay then go ahead, but use some horse sense when you do and don't whine about it if you have to carry your a$$ home in a sack!  My nickle.

    Same here about the piece of cardboard on the screen.  That's about as close as I can get to making shots.  What aggravates me is all of the "VEM" that is used whatever in the hell that is.  Leave the damn game alone because with the programming short comings that were already present, changing things with "VEM" wasn't an improvement.  

    Tournaments actually divided according to ranking regardless of level just might be the correct solution.  Also make all tournaments single round play and initiate four round tournaments.with single play for each round.  Initiate more hole locations so that they can be changed for tournaments.  Like Easy, Medium. Hard and expert.  Just a thought.

    Ok so i havent had time to read the entire thread but let me just put my two cents in and if anyone has covered it i am sorry!

    For WGT to 'do something' about cheating in this game their only option is to create a third party program that runs along side Java and your browser, either taking random screen prints or detecting specific things running on your computer, both will be costly and time consuming and create a whole new raft on technical problems which they already have enough off, and lord knows they dont like doing anything with money unless its coming in from ball sales, they like doing that.

    The only common sense thing they can do is re-write the swing bar code to make it more stable, i myself have seriously considered researching these auto dingers after losing ball after ball from a frozen or choppy swing meter.

    Of course, WGT have their standard response, its you, not us. I believe it until i ran a series of tests which included 4 different desktop computers, 2 laptops, 6 dfferent versions of flash on 4 different internet connections, 50% of tests ran with resource monitor open the other 50 ran with NOTHING but the game window open,

    The result: inconclusive.. why? Because it is random, it attacks at moments when there is nothing running, resources are barely used and the internet is working fine, then other times when there is more load on worse machines it is fine for an hour then it will attack.

    I believe the choppyness of the meter is caused by slow upload speeds from WGT servers, the game is stuttering while trying to retrieve data, it cannot be proven unless WGT show us some bandwidth statistics and we start recording dates and times of choppyness.


    So, in closing, if WGT want to stop auto dingers, or a vast majority of them, create a better sing meter, upgrade your servers, or create a stand alone game running on a decent game engine.

    Here is my reply. Why is it OK for WGT to cheat us? I just got out of a CC tournament with low wind. I had a 3mph wind at 1:00 at my back moved the marker about the width of the arrow just to be safe, dinged my shot , the ball went 10yards on the other side of the flag....OH thats OK because it's WGT , another shot stated a distance to the hole, did the math took the shot , the distance to the hole said I hit it right on ball went 5 yards past......OH thats OK it's WGT .

    Why can't they just let the game play like we play the game? If we mess up fine thats us we did it, but all we have to go by when figuring a shot is the information they provide. WE are not out on the course ,we can't feel the wind. Come on whats good for the goose is good for the gander. Just be fair with us , is that too much to ask.  The heck with this IRL crap you want real life go out and play a real course. I don't even want to get started on the lies with the breaks on the greens or the speed the tell us. Just be honest

    If everyone ,including WGT is so concerned with cheating, what would happen if they just changed the swing meter to a different style? 

    That seems like a easy fix
