New way of robbing balls ?

  Maybe because you are such a "fanboy" you get bypassed. I have no idea. But you without a doubt exude that "scientific mentality" of until there is proof it doesn't exist. The bottom line is there is a boat load of people that do experience the unrealistic garbage dished from WGT. And frankly, to have it happen AFTER all the dough is spent is criminal.

  Have seen this before - WGT is giving you a 3D depiction of the shot in 2D. Stretch (mentally) a little - can you see how this happens. (Awaiting Gerald the Cajun to chime in here with a conspiracy LOL).

  Ya they're pretty funny... and "fangurls" as well... LoL 

  Fact is the VEM system is applied against the player profile/ID it's not a 'game wide' application. Well it is running game-wide, but does interact with your clubs, balls etc. when you play you're playing within 'your' environment.

  It can most definitely be altered and changed up anyway by whoever is administrating it wants it. They can't drive your ball into the water, but the assets in play for that shot can be manipulated so that if you hit within the percentage required of what a 'good' shot would be - you get your 'wft?' shot.

  if your VEM is turmed on, then why do you EVER have a good game and why is your approach shots down to 72% when it should be over 80% as a 61 LEGEND

  I'm not really sure what it is you're asking here, I think I get it. The VEM 'program' is always on, it's part of the game environment. 

  I'm surprised my approach % is that high, I've been playing with the starter ball and clearing the out endless supply of crappy spec balls. Don't really care what I shoot these days.... But thanks for caring... [wave]

  No disrespect intended Bunny --- But the only "Fact Is" ... no one but WGT knows what the real facts are   :)    I've read all the theories and the documents posted about the Virtual Equipment  Model (i.e. VEM) ...  but that's all they are .. Theories.       Personally I was under the impression VEM meant the shots would react differently based on which equipment is used.

  Anyway I guess these anomalies seem to effect some more than others.   I don't think I've hit a dozen pins from off the green in 5 years so I'm clearly not the right person to comment.    Personally I don't see anything different from the day I started playing.

  Hi

  I haven't find anything wrong with the WGT game.  And yes I do have shots, where I get confused. But that has always happen from time to time!

  I still think it is a great game. The best golf game ever been....
