WGT MediaReviews 164

The graphics of this game are outstanding, best I have seen for a golf game on the web. I think all the programmers here are well versed in graphics but their expertise in developing a consistent performing program is worst than terrible. They should take all the programmers for this game and take them out back and make them play this game for hours until their heads explode with frustration. If you are new to the game, don't get sucked in by the graphics, get the f out as fast as you can before they drain your life force from you with their incompetence.

No problem with the reviews stating it's a free site, agree 100%.
It's an individuals choice whether they want to purchase items to improve their play and chances. Its a silly on line game after all.
But... of course I am going to state a but... having purchased said 'Better items' of balls, clubs etc, it's amazing how every single course and hole that you pay having voluntarily spent you cash, become severely difficult, so that you lose those 'Better Balls' and the clubs you purchased in fact over play each hole.
WGT are in it to MAKE MONEY FROM ALL, Not for the fun of it. However, their tactics they clearly employ to remove the said purchased better items quickly from each player, means that their revenues keep rolling in... unlike those superb never miss a putt balls you bought... which get Lost in places where previously you were just in the rough and where a previously flat green on the same course suddenly becomes a ski slope! Clever, not Cricket but like all on line sites where you have a choice to purchase items... there will only ever be one winner... and it certainly will not be those handing over the cash.
Enjoy.

They are asking you to review the game not complain that you have to spend money to be good. The truth is the game is 100% free, you can pretty much play it for the rest of your life and never spend a cent. You might not enjoy how much harder it will be for you compared to someone that spent some money but hey life isn't fair. I have spent about $15 so far and when I get to higher lvls I most likely will spend money I consider it price for my enjoyment. Only complaint I have is connection is kinda jumpy at times but other then that enjoying myself, good game.

This games wants to to spend your money and nothing more! Sand traps are HUGE quarries that you won't be able to get out of! All the want to do is sell you balls, clubs etc. If your using a tablet, 1 nine hole course will eat more than 50% of your battery life! BOYCOTT TO SEND A MESSAGE THAT THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF MORE ENTERTAINING GAMES! THIS GAME IS EXPECTED DESIGNED SO THAT YOU LEFT SE GOLF BALLS THAT YOU PAY FOR VERY EASILY! OH, LET ME ALSO MENTION THAT YOU GET BOOTED OUT VERY EASILY, LOSING ALL YOUR COINS! $#*! game!

Listen and save yourself time and money!
As you start your profile and begin to build your game you'll notice that in the "match play" You will be competing against money or as they call it "coin". You will start out as a "Hack" and move up to Amatuer then TourPro and then through to Master. Well when you "wager" your money, and of course they make you do this before you know who you are playing and what level they are (usually a Master""), your given choices to wager small amounts of money and large amounts of money. This money is used to better your golf game by purchasing with the money you win in match play. So as a "hacker" you may decide to play a $10k entry fee match (head to head) while winnings are "$18k". After you commit to this the computer will match you up against a "master". Of course "Master's" have the best equipment to shoot a under par round while you are scrambling to stay just 1 or 2 strokes above par. So customer/players like us are used to generate play while the fat cats just get fatter. Move on to a better app that is fair and balanced... PERIOD! Oh yes I have it a 2 because graphics are decent...

I recently noticed that my scoring average was not really an average at all. It only includes your best scores. The result is that you get promoted into a higher tier than your scores would dictate. Why would they do that? Because in higher tiers, the holes become longer and the greens more difficult. And what do you have to do then? Spend money on this 'free' game. It's a trap.

When I called this out to WGT, after a few email exchanges in which I pointed out the unfairness, my player account with them was disabled...

Greed.

My reason for playing was to see if I could learn something about club selection and wind. I played many rounds just to test it and found it to be pretty ambiguous. In many instances I would choose what was definitely the wrong the club, adjusting the aim and swing, and was penalized for miss hits no worse than choosing the right club and miss hitting it.

I suspect what's true is what many are saying in their reviews -- you play better not by making better choices but by spending more money.
