    You are correct, this game is VERY inconsistant. WGT hides behind the 'beta' tag while they take players money and cram as much advertising INTO the game as they can.

    The apologists on this site are really annoying. I'm hoping that WGT gets a brain somehow and puts players, NOT ADVERTISERS, first. Little chance but I hope so!

    This topic has been going on since 2010...  I'm sorry but this topic must stay alive... What is it that WGT wants?  More money, from its players?  How is a person suppose to improve on their game? Its like a ding doesn't even matter these days... Buy the newest equipment and still the inconsistency from the last simulare conditioned shot seems to flies into where ever land.... Come out of Beta and stand by your product. By fixing it...

    If this site was 100% consistent then the players that virtually live on here would know every shot. Just giving a different perspective.

    My friend, your average is not low enough yet.  You need to be below 61 to move to the Legend tier.  Here is a quote I posted in another thread.  There are many posts about this subject but this should help clear things up a bit.  

    I hope this helps my friend and good luck.

    "I found this in the forums and I believe this is prolly correct.  I do not deserve credit for this information.  WGT does not either as they do not make it public.  However, over the years the players have finally got the formula figured out, I think.  Here it is.

     

    So in summary we have:

    • When your average score is equal or smaller than 100 you go from hack to amateur.
    • When it is equal or smaller than 80 you go from amateur to pro.
    • When it is equal or smaller than 72 you go from pro to tour pro
    • When it is equal or smaller than 67 you go from tour pro to Master
    • When it is equal or smaller than 63 you go from Master to Tour master
    • When it is equal or smaller than 61 you go from Tour master to legend 

    and

     

    • you need to play at least 5 ranked rounds as hack before reaching Amateur
    • you need to play at least 10 ranked rounds as amateur before reaching Pro
    • you need to play at least 20 ranked rounds as Pro before reaching Tour pro
    • you need to play at least 25 ranked rounds as Tour pro before reaching Master
    • you need to play at least 40 ranked rounds as Master before reaching Tour Master
    • you need to play at least 50 ranked rounds as Tour Master before reaching Legend

    Notice that those minimal number of ranked rounds are also the number of best rounds used to compute your average in that particular tier. So if you are Tour Master for example, your average is computed with your best 50 ranked round (that's why you need at least 50 rounds to move up).

     

    A couple things you should all know.  One is that your average starts over after you reach a new tier.  Your first round at the new tier will be your new average.  Second, the rounds you need to complete, as listed above, are the number of rounds that you need in that tier.  Not total rounds overall.  For example, you have to have 25 rounds and an average under 67 in the Tour Pro tier to advance to master.  Hope this helps answer any questions any of you may have.

    -Nuke"

    Well you must also understand this is a money making (BIG MONEY) enterprise, they change the course calculations with regularity, in the name of keeping it fresh so as to not let players get bored, really it is so we will buy different equipment and keep their pockets lined,, just sayin.........

    I seriously doubt there is any big money in WGT. It could be, but although good for a flash game, it seriously lack plenty of what you'd expect from a game that you play hundreds of dollars/year to play. Links from 2002 was in many ways a much better game than this. The strategy of keeping the money flow going with expensive (easily lost) balls is also backfiring since it puts people off and eventually out.

    You what!!! I've spent about £60 in two years and some of that I've given as prizes in my Country Club.

    Yes, but you seem to be very good and I assume you win enough on tournaments to buy balls and equipment?
