  It would be cool to have weather, wind moving stuff about, rain etc. But all that would have a negative effect on the meter which many people have trouble with already.  : (

  Howzit

  Actually it wouldn't. Depending on where we are playing, WGT could use an API to pull weather from the closest station to the course we're playing, then push that to us together with applicable sun/clouds/winds/rain while we load the course. Once.

  It wouldn't have to be an ongoing, real-time event. The mere fact that we would be playing a course in almost exact live weather conditions would be a huge win.

  Cheers,

  No what would be a cool option would be for WGT to focus on and fix the existing issues with the game . What you would like to see may seem like a simple request to you but its not simple to them . Just about every part of the game has a bug and needs a fix and with every new addition comes more bugs . More bugs but no fixes .

  +1!

  I like to play the game at my desk when outdoor golf is unavailable/unattractive: In Winter, at night, during unfriendly weather. I like to see the sun and a few clouds for an enjoyable "Day on the Links".

  Also, to be realistic, different weather would have an impact on the scores: wet grips, wet FWs etc. would raise the scores and make playing for competition nasty. Customers would not play under nasty conditions, revenue would drop...

  Do you expect the company to invest in any changes leading to that?

  Did it?! How well is Tiger Woods Online doing these days?

  I totally agree with Lonnie on this one.
