Where's the reverse?

  Been playing KIA today for a CC tournament. In the old days (LAST WEEK), when you selected the reverse camera view on the green, you got a pretty good look straight from the pin to your ball (AS on a vertical line - straight).  Today I'm seeing something between 30 & 45 degrees on several greens.

  Why?

  WGT, regardless of what some have said, this is a pretty good game. It is also "hard enough"  PLEASE, quit fixing it ;-(

  hi

  i think that's something adobe controls. i think it maybe possible to bring back... i cannot be sure but I know some players use it, so I will try to see what can be done :)

  Cannot figure how to attach jpegs to this post - will try E-mail. Have 2 examples (offset is less than 30 degrees)

  Not sure Icon.....  I think the OP was talking about... when you hit Reverse on the game screen to get the Reverse view of you putt.

  Instead of getting the straight line between Avatar and pin ... it's now at an Angle.

  I think this has been like that for awhile now... I think.

  Roger, you are correct in that the avatar/ball to pin picture is at an angled instead of a straight line - Have pix but cannot figure how to attach jpegs to either this post or Icon's message to me!

  Today, is the first time that I have noticed this glitch - it is difficult enough to judge green breaks "head-on" - not even the PGA makes the golfer offset his view between the ball & the pin by 30+ degrees & guess at it!!

  I can understand a reverse view in which the ball and the pin line up but when neither the avatar nor ball line up with the pin - how are you supposed to read it?

  Note: "line up" means the ball & pin align on a vertical "greens line"

  If the pin location is set to med or hard you will not always get the best view.

  If you have bad luck on some holes near greenedge you dont have a frontview, its kia 17 and ccc 6 frontpin, no reversearrow down right, where it use to be.Some othere are ugly, front you look up in avatars popo and cant see the grid at all, so only click reverse give you a look on green/hole

  All day, same deal, KIA 12,13,14,15 - anywhere from 7 feet - out  front view is as normal (sometimes good, sometimes bad), reverse view is "offset" in most cases. When inside of 5 feet - reverse view is fine - i.e. ball & pin are on same vert line.  This is NOT a function of my computer - this dumb box only reflects what is sent to it! (cleared cache, yadda, yadda)

  Just thought I'd add for the newer players that Kiawah has always been the worst for angles as not enough photos were taken.
