  Apart from the camera not working properly, I have several questions:

  1) How are the new (considerably higher) scoring averages calculated?

  2) What are the pre-requisites for reaching Champion and Tour Champion?

  3) Has anybody been automatically promoted to Champion or Tour Champion (so far, I have seen TL with more than 5000 rounds and averages of around 54 still being TLs)?

  4) Have you ver thought about timely and proper communication of such major changes?

   

  Thanks,
  Leon

  Yes the 2cd shot/ green shot camera has been completely takin away from some holes, leaving the player to try to adjust from hundreds of yards away, ..WGT will one day find out that there were dinasours  on earth and that humans may actually be at one end of the game they pretend to distribute..

  Is there no respite from WGT'S continuing downtime cockups?

  There is no respite from the constant wgt maintenance downtime upcocks :)

  It will be the end of wgt when starting a game causes the user's computer to catch fire. Until then, we can only continue to enjoy new bugs and more frustration, until playing this game becomes far more frustrating than the real thing, without the fun of destroying our clubs. :)

  WGT is systematically and slowly killing off the Alternate Shot format.By the looks of it,its quite deliberate.

  Its so annoying with the view constantly shifting with each players shot in AS games after this update.Will give a headache to me in a few days for sure.

  I'm all in favour for the new tiers, only if the integrity is returned to the game and read tee country club tournaments should not be allowed for your scoring average or else what's the point of creating new tiers really? If this is WGT's new standard of excellence, only the best need apply from appropriate tee distance.

  I assume that Champion and Tour Champion tiers will not be allowed to play in TL Ready Go's ?  I hope that is the case, otherwise what is the point of the 2 new tiers ?

  All RG's should be tier specific. I play in the "open" RG's and see so many "un-knowing" low level/tier players entering the same RG's and pretty much throwing their credits away. 

  I throw a lot of my credits away, too, and would play the TL only RG's if they didn't take forever to fill up. If WGT would make RG's tier specific, it would somewhat equal the playing field (asides from the fakes, cheats, and multi's) and the RG's (tier specific) would fill quicker. 

  I haven't played, yet, but I hope my average goes up. It's 54.72 and that's crazy. I can't shoot 27 or 54 on any consistent basis. My average is probably closer to 59/60. 

  I have a feeling the new tiers will fall into the CC Bank category and we will never get a response of what, when, how, why.

  Camera Control?   When you are in the fairway, and hit the camera by the menu, you get a view from back at the tee behind your golfer, rendering that camera useless.

  LMFAO!  Leave it to WGT to giveth with one hand, and then totally f**k up with the other hand.  Been here since '07, and it just keeps getting worse and worse.

  Wish for updates that actually work like they are supposed to in one hand, and then put WGT f**k ups in the other... see which one fills up first.

  Well l suppose its Easier to wave the wgt magic wand to invent two New tiers wich means just about absolutlety nothing to 95% of the wgt Members wheres  fixing the glitches in this game would not be as Easy to do But would benefit 100% of the wgt members
