    You need to make your test in an alt shot game WGT. This is ruining alt shot play!

    Yes, please.  At least throw a quick fix at it and disable the concede button.

    Its sad that lots of people have told WGT what the problem is and nothing has been done by them to eliminate it. Disabling the concede button seems like the easiest and best way to go until the proper fix can be found. No problems playing stroke play or skins......because you can't concede!!!

    Also removing the concede would eliminate the arguing over the spin problem. I have seen and heard about arguments regarding if it is an issue or not.

    Eliminate the concede........eliminate the problem.

    Hey guys.

     

    we finally tracked it down after several month. I don't want to say it's fixed but I think we made quite a bit of improvements to it. So, please, test it and let us know if anything happening good or bad. If you find situations where the ugly bug shows up, please right click, submit detailed report (mention if anything was conceded nor not, what kind of speed you hit, and the result you saw).

    Yes, this whole thing was with loading errors. The system gets confused in certain conditions and it loads wrong. When the spin glitches happen, it is a problem WITH THE PREVIOUS HOLE and not with the current one! It was never any use to look at the replays since it wasn't a problem with that. 

    The concede button only agitated the problem by confusing the system with things like he never hit the meter so the system mixes putter and driver attributes and BAM! You got urself 1 juicy spin glitch!

    By the way briggs your whole commotion over that one tee shot was BOGUS!!!!!! Your shot was not affected by a spin glitch!!!! If you look at the replay closely, your ball starts at the launch angle for EVERY drive and then what happens is the BACKSPIN made the ball go up at a steeper angle than it started at! The pure fact that the hole is uphill made it look like it was lower but in fact that is as high as you will ever get on that hole!

    Here is what happened:

    I would not want Icon's job because it is hard and he is doing great! Don't tear someone down unless you think you can do better!

    I think Icon should know that at least 1 person isn't too spoiled and actually appreciates the job that he is doing!

    I hate to say this but nothing was fixed. I am playing mp as we speak and a conceded putt on 2 made my tee shot go low or "flatline" on 3. It wasn't as bad though, considering I got the same wind on the next hole without the glitch, and the ball only flew about 10 yds farther without the glitch.

    Hi

    did you have a chance to submit a bug report so we can look at it? I played about 10 games and conceded every hole and then hit bs on every tee shot and not 1 we had the issue. But, I am not saying you are wrong, so I hope you submitted a bug report via right click options so we can take a look.

     Icon ;(.. this happened to me just now in a RG game on Cabo front 9 after saving a replay on the prior hole (i went to the share option to copy url link from replay) and posting to my wall.

    I've never in the past had much trouble with the glitch in single play and damned it if didnt get me here.

    This shot was 198 to pin with a 9 headwind. I played a 210 1/2 dot from full b/spin witch should've been an easy bird... grrr. 

    Bug report and details sent with replay.

    view replay here

    ^^ just viewed replay from link and of course no good camera views.. SMH! hope you guys get this worked out soon.

    That isn't the same as what's been plaguing multi player games. That is an entirely different bug that seems to get ignored. The one where the club doesn't switch to what you picked. It usually happens on a par 3-CCC #10 for me. I've seen it a number of times there. Some say it happens if you use your scroll wheel to chose clubs. IDK about that but it is a different bug.

    Incidentally, in 4 AS games everything was conceded like normal with no bug in sight. Not saying it's fixed but it sure looks like it is.  :-)

    ^YJ, where did I say anything about a club changing? I'm referring to the NO SPIN GLITCH on tee...

    And the no spin glitch is still there.. just had it happen after a concede in a MPC game also.
