  A response from WGT would be nice here... Or at least say there will be no response.

  1) What are the requirements going to be for a TL to advance to the new tiers?

  2) Will there be new green speeds for the upper levels?

  3) Are there going to be any automatic advancements based on current skill levels?

  4) Will you be fixing the approach shot camera views?

  C'mom WGT... Your silence is deafening..

  As it stands, the game's unplayable.  Putts don't roll, they lurch along in fits and starts.  Don't know how much of that is due to problems on my end, curious to know if others are experiencing the same.

  For the meantime, looks like one hole per day for the cdp bonus.

  edit:  Liz, just saw your post above, so confirms it's not just on my end.

   

  Got the same issue, at least before the changes my many missed putts rolled nicely, now it's a double whammy, missed putt and an ugly stutter avoiding the hole.

  Har!  Good point...when I putt I at least want my misses to look graceful.

  Heh. A 29 in the weekly unlimited jumped my average 4 strokes!!  

   

  LOL

   

  I'm actually happy about the new tiers, not that I feel I'd be worthy of them.  What I do like is the average resetting for saturation.  Will allow me to have a more accurate average for a while.  60.75 just doesn't show the true me.  ;-)

  Would love a double avg tracking system,  31/65    9 hole/18 hole  averages.  Or an average score to par.    Instead of average total score, my average would be closer to anywhere between -1 and +5  LOL.

  New Top Tiers – There are two new WGT tiers: Champion and Tour Champion, for top players based on play and posted scores. Players that qualify will automatically be moved up to the Champion tier to compete.

  HA, you can all compete to be ME!

  I think you should help the staff to fix the release issues or report to them which is the community opinion about their last works. You probably have no answer before someone will check to problems and I suppose you're here to get some moderations not a banana sarcasm after twelve pages of customers not properly satisfied.

  I still deposit my dollars to keep this stuff up so I can accept jokes only when it's time for a joke and this is not the case and I read your post as a total lack of respect but maybe I'm wrong, no offense. Your work here is important but sometimes it looks frustrating don't find faster answers to reported issues as the one posted by Duck.

  One other observation, it is playing as if we are streaming on twitch now. The ball path is quite jumpy. However, the green dots are more consistent

  Regarding TL averages.

  I was close to saturation, but not quite there, yet after playing Front of BP today and shooting 29, my average went from 64.66 to 68.91. At no time since making TL has my average been that high. I don't suppose it matters, but I'd certainly like to know what happened.

  With respect Champ the lack of explanation or at least when one can be expected is v poor - VERY poor, not something I would dream of doing to my clients.

  Way I see it cam angles and new tier explanation are essentials yesterday in that order.

  Flight path is looking OK here , and tentatively the green dots do look back up to speed :) ..Fingers crossed some one did finally crack that nut as a biggie that was not going away (even if you could get around it with commitment).

  I posted this else where but duplicated it here:

   

  Here is a little bit more information.  To move into the Champions Tier you will need to play a decent amount of ranked games to qualify. So we will slowly see players enter the new tier.  The goal is to more accurately group the players at the top end by their skill.  As for the Tour Champions tier it will be invite only, and also be based on your Average score with the additional variable of how you performed in past tournaments.  

  We have not purposely changed the AVG score calculation, so there may be a bug if you see your AVG score drastically move.  We are investigating this now.
