Dot issue when putting

  Can you please confirm that the issue regarding the slow moving dots on the greens not representing the true break (as before) is being looked at?

   

  Or alternatively, confirm that there is no issue and therefore not being investigated?

   

  Either way can you let us know so we can all just get on with it?

   

  Not hard to communicate either way !!

   

  Thanks

  The dots are still being looked at.  No update if there will be any changes made.

  The dots were better when they were faster.  At least there was a break consistant with the green variations.  These slow dots do not putt true to the green variations.

  Aaahhhh...the hidden message. Now, if that sentence had said, "when we find the problem, we will fix or attempt to fix it", then those with dot problems would be appeased, for a day anyway.

  Anyone want to bet the dots are perfect on the mobile version? 

  I really don't know if the dots are bad here or not. I can't tell, really. I do know I am missing more putts, but I chalk it up to a slump or just my lack of caring.

  It would seem people would stop bringing it up by now. All of these years and the players/members still, for some insane reason, think what they say, wish for (besides yellow Callaway balls) or complain about carry's any weight. 

  On the dot speed issue: anyone having problems is SOL. Buy a tablet.

  Thanks for being honest shoe.

  Have a nice day :-)

  Thanks Shoe, much appreciated.

  I will follow up in a week or 2 to see if there has been any decision made one way or the other.

  If however you have any updates before hand can you please advise.

  Just FYI, I do still think the dots aren't the same as before, moving slower and therefore not representing the true break.

  Thanks again.

  C'mon Shoe.

   

  I don't know your previous history as a player, but geesh...my green dots are slow...and slower.

   

  Head out and look at BPB #15 and Oak #9...lol...the putts look like tap ins from 5 feet! left or right from the hole...mercy...used to look like rain sleeting off a window pane.

   

  Now?...well go look.

  First thanks to Shoe for sharing what he could, but agree little comfort.

  I think it would be brave to expect a game like this to be ready for tablet only anytime soon.  MS wanted the world to be touchscreen mad with windows 8 - epic fail.  This game I don't see is ready personally.

  Gosh what a mess.

  Thanks Shoe

  Hopefully you will have any update soon once investigated.

  Thanks again

  Jim, I think that is about the most diplomatic way of putting it that I have heard.  Bravo!  Now if they would just get it at least stabilized so I could stop guessing on the putts.  Currently it seems to vary beyond the mere break/dot speed of the putts, making reading much more difficult for the honest player who is willing to say something about it.

  It's your advise because I prefer how it is now.
