Hi everyone,
One of the main pieces of feedback from players is that the putting is different on Flash and PCEA, because the dots on the putting grid move at different speeds. Based on this feedback, we've created a second Putting Grid option for you to choose from.
In your game settings you will soon have a new option for "Putting Grid" where you can choose between "Standard" or "Classic" mode. Choosing the Classic setting will be much closer to what you experienced on Flash.
But Champ, why did you say "closer?"
I'm so glad you asked.
To develop this feature, we pulled the exact specs from the code of WGT on Flash (originally designed over a decade ago). What we learned is that the dots on the Flash putting grid may appear faster or slower based on each player's computer. WGT aims for 60 frames per second (fps), but if a player's computer is unable to run the game at that speed the putting dots will be slower.
When you use the new mode in PCEA it will use the 60fps target like it was originally designed to, and because of this, some of you may find the dots to be slightly faster than you're used to.
In addition to dot speed, the "Classic" putting grid brings back the lock/unlock grid feature.
Okay Champ, that sounds great. When can I use it?
We're so excited that we're releasing Putting Grid Classic mode NEXT WEEK!
Get hype,
_CHAMPION
