  I know this has been mentioned before but is there any chance that on saving a replay you get to keep the front and rear views? Nearly every time you save one you get left with the front view, one from the tee and three from the next county.

  Didn't notice this post before I mentioned the same thing in the putts replays it would be great to see the reverse view I agree the choices we get are not too good to say the least.

  hi

  I am not sure if we have any control over it. I don't even know how that system works. It seems sometimes you get them and other times you don't.

  Excuse me, Icon, I have to name this a §$%"§$. Who if not WGT has control over their game? Is it aliens, is it secret UN executive bodies, is it ultimate High Powers of Voodoo?

  Your company designed the game, your company controls the game. It follows your programming to the last pixel. And while, sometimes, it may be entertaining to see you "know nothing", it can also become outright boring by exaggerated repetition. Isn't it boring, too, to be limited in replys by higher order?

  Regarding the views, I've noticed long time that they differ between the shot and the replay. Actually, they seem limited according to the shot, more than we like it sometimes.

  Best example: The recent "invisible wall" and "growing invisible branch" replays from MER#10. One of them has but one(!) camera view - it's about 100 yds or less.

  And to my fellow users, players, customers, a late but full-hearted New Year's greeting:

  May your hopes be fulfilled, may all your wishes come true, but don't you put any hope and wishes on WGT - it's as good as it is, don't expect any changes.

  Happy hitting ev1!

  With all due respect sir, do you think you could try to find out?

  +1 

  That is just a way of saying out programmers have no control because they have no idea of what they are doing.

  But to take replays a step further, I would like to see all aspects of the shot recorded, such as spin applied, power used etc. Without this replays really are just a reminder of the shot, not how it was played. But WTF am I thinking - WGT have no control over the programmers, who have no control over the programming, 

  I tend to agree Paul, it is as good as it is going to get. Let the chimps, oops programmers make changes, and things could get a lot worse.

  I'll tell you what i have been noticing,,, when you get one of these lovely wtf shots...seems no decent replay available. Helicopter view........ lmao!

  Also... when you get one of these putts,, the one that when hit jumps off the putter face dead left.... no reverse view.. and no decent replay again available.

  Hmmm....... lol. Trying to hide something??  Have not a clue what trying to hide either.

  Because.... i know what just happened.  Why not let me see the stupid shite again??

  hey guys, don't hit me all at once. I told you straight up, I have no idea.

  In fact, the way I worded it, means that very few people know how it works...  I am not sure if it'll change but If I have a chance, I will ask.

  If I had to guess, the system does it automatically when replay is saved, so I am not sure if it can be improved with ease.

  Is your monthly compensation for personal suffering not high enough? LOL

  +1, and some routine cares for storage economics, not saving the irrelevant views, nor the unwanted ones :)

  JFTR, I didn't mean it that way. We just have to take it as it is or leave it. Any "should!", "must!", "need!" is wasted IMHO.

  And you are right, fear the Greek giving away presents, and fear the programmers announcing "update"!

  Lucky me in both respects, I love the game nevertheless.
