Does searching for a game even work?

  I have been trying unsuccessfully to search for either a match play game (challenge and scored), skins (challenge and practice) alt shot (without apparel). Even setting up my own for skins and match play. Not sure if nobody is playing these anymore or they just don't work.

  We are aware of the matchmaking issues. We hoped to address it in the downtime last night but it didn't make it due to the complexity of the issue

  I have managed to get alt shot games everytime I tried. Sometimes it may take the full 5 minutes. People need to relax and be patient for a game. I never search because its almost impossible so I set the game up and wait.

  I can find alt shot with apparel on sometimes. It takes a few tries usually. No luck with stroke play. Does anyone know if they intend to add an "any" option to the apparel on/off feature? It seems like that would be helpful especially to those like me who couldn't care less either way and just want to find a game.

  I tried something different today and got two games in a row instantly. I normally have my setting as "offline". Today when I changed that to online a game came up immediately. I will need to try it a couple more times to see if that is what made the difference or if it was coincidence, but worked twice in a row today.

  Btw... That's was for Alt Shot

  EDIT: It must have been coincidence. I am unable to find a game again this morning.

  i stay online and it does not work for me at all. The best way i found is when someone joins & only name shows up write name down & when they leave re invite them.

  I wonder if that is part of the problem.  Too many people searching for a game and not enough people setting up a game.

  My theory is in flash you had different levels of status. Available, available to friends, busy etc. The system would consider anyone who was 'Available' as fair game for an invite. Now, you're either online or not, and simply being online isn't enough to get an invite. One must seek to join a game, or a friend has to send an invite.
