  The main thing is that they are using exactly the same original pics for the new version. As for what they have done with various ''resolutions'', i have already done 2 videos about.

  Everyone who is carping.....

  Here is the bottom line.....MANY of us have been complaining about this game for years, including the Flash game.  BL.....WGT/Top Golf doesn't care.....

  Most if not all of us who have been playing this game for some time (almost 3 years myself) aren't happy about the change, and have been vociferous about it.  BL,,,a)...can't be helped, because ALL of the major web browsers are  not going to support Adobe Flash after December 30, because of security issues that Adobe decided they didn't want to spend $ to fix, so it goes bye bye, and  b) WGT/Top Golf doesn't care......

  Many, if not THOUSANDS OF US have offered suggestions, etc. to not only fix some of the issues on the Flash game, but also on the new game they unveiled some time back.... BL...WGT/Top Golf doesn't care.....

  In a previous post above, just found out that I can actually SLOW THE METER by simply changing a setting on the new game.....Wonder why that was never brought up by WGT/Top Golf, instead of me paying $12.75 REAL MONEY FOR 3 VIRTUAL BALLS  , when I didn't really have to.  I'll tell you why,,,,,BL...WGT/Top Golf doesn't care.

  The decision by ALL major browsers to dump Adobe Flash was made over 2 years ago.  The deadline was published then of January 1, 2021....when did WGT/Top Golf start trying to do something to save the game we all love??  Approx. 8 MONTHS AGO...Why didn't they start earlier, so they had time to beta test, etc?.....BL...WGT/Top Golf doesn't care......

  There are lots of additional things I can mention.  But, as I have stated over, and over above.....THE BOTTOM LINE IS WGT/TOP GOLF DOESN'T CARE!!!!   HAVEN'T YOU FIGURED THAT OUT BY NOW?!?!?!

  BL.....It's ALL ABOUT THE EFFING BENJAMINS.  WHY do you think that the FIRST thing they did when they opened the original "new game " was the damned coin/betting system?....BL..ITS ALL ABOUT THE BENJAMINS!

  Do they give a damn about golf enthusiasts who enjoy it for that reason only?  NO!  Why?...BL...WGT/TopGolf doesn't care....ITS ALL ABOUT THE BENJAMINS!

  So, in conclusion....before I finally drop off of this thread for the final time (getting tired of my email being FILLED with people saying the same thing over, and over, because they aren't seeing the forest for the trees)........BL....WGT/TOP GOLF DOESN'T CARE...ITS ALL ABOUT THE BENJAMINS.  PERIOD.  EXCLAMATION POINT.

  You can all continue to fret, and sweat, and post all you want......as I did when this all started over 8 months ago...BL....IT WON'T MAKE A DAMNED BIT OF DIFFERENCE...BECAUSE WGT/TOP GOLF DOESN'T CARE.  

  IT WILL NEVER BE FIXED, IT IS WHAT IT IS, AND YOU MIGHT AS WELL GET USED TO IT, BECAUSE 30 DAYS FROM NOW, YOU WILL HAVE ONE CHOICE......

  ACCEPT THE BIZARRE, POOR QUALITY, MONEY-GENERATING MOTIVATED NEW GAME THAT HAS BEEN CREATED, AND ACCEPT THE FACT THAT NOTHING WILL CHANGE.....OR...

  Stop playing...stop spending money on this site....and accept the inevitable.

  dedBuNNy.....

  Thats the other problem.....some of you "techies" keep coming up with new names, excuses, questions, etc..... WHO CARES!??!!

  BOTTOM LINE....AGAIN...WHATEVER NAME, CODE, PLATFORM, ETC, ETC. that you and others want to apply.......

  We have been playing  1-OLD GAME...using the flash extension on the WGT website....

  OLD GAME, again , regardless of name, code, etc. goes away....bye bye...adios...etc..12/31/2020.

  NEW GAME.....EUA, ABC, ACDC, DWI, or better yet, DOA...  again, I, and frankly MOST OF THE OTHER PLAYERS THAT HAVE BEEN PLAYING THIS GAME FOR YEARS (except of course, those, probably like you are more worried about the tech stuff...as in WHY someone who is on the site for 6 months, 5 levels behind me, but is STILL at the same title level as me is winning all of the tournaments with 10-12 under...because they CHEAT)....

  Give those of us who play this game for the fun and challenge because we LOVE GOLF a break, and stop the nonsense about EUA, etc....whatever it's called....

  BOTTOM LINE IS....you can play the "New" game, regardless of what YOU call it.....because the "old game" using flash is done and gone.....

  OR....call it quits....and again, I am talking to the normal, AVERAGE, genuine and honest players with my previous post.  The ones who have for years used tech bs to bypass the game and scam it, and all of the other genuine players who play it for fun...NOT to prove they can SCAM it.

  You can't slow the meter by just changing a setting in a game. All that screenshot shows is where to turn on and off the display for the focus boost. 

  Focus boost has been around for over 5 years (in both the flash and mobile platforms). If you want to use it within the game, you first need to have it display. Every time you select it for the shot, it costs you 30 credits. At least, that's what it used to cost. I'm guessing the price is the same.

  Confirmed, yes, you are correct.  Removes the small lighting circle selection.

  Sorry about getting you all work up madmanmax17.

  This is inaccurate. I've been playing on the new version since January, so that's nearly 11 months ago for a start. And it was made available to play some time before that.
