  VEM is alive and well. Wow! I don't know if it is all the new features and updates or somebody has access to the "EQUIPMENT MANIPULATION" program but this game is playing awfully strange lately. 

  * Putts have abrupt breaks nearing the hole

  * Drives have been erratic off the tee

  *  AIM line is a "little" off ( A LOT OFF)

  * Approach shots - ANYTHING is possible

  * Club distance is a gamble. Club distance is ALL VEM. No doubt about it.

  * The game is playing like crap, period.

  Something is weird   : > /  

  I will say this AGAIN!

  You have manipulated this game beyond fun anymore WGT. I have played this game for OVER 5 YEARS and I have NEVER experience the "VEM" / DEVIATIONS I have over these last few weeks. My game has NEVER been anything to write home about but at the least I could pop off a couple rounds below par every now and again. NOW - I can barely break PAR! I haven't sunk anything over a 10 foot putt in more than 3 weeks. If I dont precisely hit my mark (and I'm not talking about hitting the ding every time) my ball either ends up in the rough or Im missing 4 foot putts. 

  I wrote 3 years ago that you would eventually start losing veteran players and players who fill you pockets with cash. Well? I was dead on. So what do you do? Charge $6.00  for 1 / ONE sleeve of gb's that barely last 2 rounds,,,LOL. WTF! Or charge $35.00 for a freaking VIRTUAL PUTTER. 

  I will now write this; I feel very strongly that the life expectancy for this game is limited. The day WILL COME when we will go to log in and the courses will be CLOSED INDEFINITELY. You can only manipulate this game so much WGT until one day  - IT WILL catch up to you. Im sure there are many of us who wouldn't be surprised that it already has. This allll goes without saying how gosh darn expensive you have made it. Expensive for the veteran players who already use the more expensive gb's and the higher end equipment. Lets be real, we are not going to go backwards and cut back on the quality of gb's or the standard of equipment. 

  Either way of anything, I made MY point. Let me end with - everything stated in this post come from my 5 YEARS experience and my statements are MY views and opinions. 

  You have no idea if you have ever seen VEM.  99% of people overstate it and the other 1% I would be surprised if they are 50% accurate when they claim it.

  I try look for the positive/silver lining at all times. At the risk of having my fellow WGT Members impacted the most, or at the most critical times by VEM lynch me, I would like to state the following -

  This is a potential Win-Win for WGT members  & WGT.

  "How",you ask!

  My reply --I have seen an increase of requests for additional, / Higher Tiers.

  rather tan adding Higher Tiers, Why not add variations within a Tier Ledgeon VEM1%%. 30%, etc, This will reduce costs for WGT Programming and provide Members no cost increased Tier level

  TsDa!!

  Meant sarcasticly

  Ok sir . You are probably right . That is the way I feel at mine and the previous posters level ( the guy you were referring to ) .

  However you sir most certainly have experienced VEM .

  Maybe yiou have an opinion on what it is that is causing these new variations that us " non effected by VEM players " are experiencing ? 

  I have some opinions on this . In this thread , a few posts back .

  My point is that 99% of people would never be able to tell the difference as to whether it is a "new variation" or "VEM" or "terrible mapping" or "hole plays long" or "club played short".

   

  So I am not entirely sure if I have experienced VEM.  I am trying to perfect each part of my game to the point that I can tell.  But I am not there yet.

   

  FWIW if those complaining about shooting par because of VEM would just shut up and hone their game they would never shoot par again.
