  If you are on a sloping lie does this effect where you should aim or is WGT assuming flat lies on all shots?

  I think he's referring to fairway / rough  not while on the green.

  Up/down and Sidehill lies do not effect ball flight in this game (at least not so far in this perpetual Beta cycle)

   

  I do see some miss hit balls that seem to be effected by the slope of the lie at times, but this might just be because of the slant of my chair. :P

  yes, if it's anywhere but green, lies, right now, are assumed to be flat

  Icon, I must respectfully disagree. There are some spots where the ball is lying on an uphill slope and the resulting shot is a pop-up. This happens for example if you land in steep rough around the bunkers at Oakmont.

  I know what you mean but I don't think it's that. The lie is assumed to be flat but there is a barrier (such as lip), so when you hit it out, the ball cannot clear it.

  I think this can be proven... for example: hitting a flop from the spot instead of iron or wedge would allow flop to fly out while wedge or iron bounce randomly

  I think what OP means is if you are on a slope, do you compensate for down/up slope when hitting out of it.

  Is there any possibility that sloping lies and their implications,could ever be introduced within the game?

  I want to say yes but when I do not know.
