So i know this bug is being discussed in the forums. I'm alerting everybody playing in the showdown that when you take a gimme,the game then gets stuck. I was lucky enough to be able to close the app then re-enter and the game continued each time. My solution was to allow the ctimer that appears when you are offered to either try putt or take gimme,to count down to zero. The gimme is given and the game continues uninterupted. Of course the other solution is to try the putt. WGT something needs to be done about this bug.

Yes, same here. I thought the glitch was only on the last hole, so I took a gimme on hole 2.
Finally exited and came back. The other guy took his gimme then, and his worked! Hmmm….

Or, as a Tour Champ and Tour Legend, just play Veteran or Expert brackets where no gimmes are allowed, problem solved!

The showdown format has not been stable enough…..new glitch every time, it seems …. for me to waste credits in Vet or expert.

Yep...
My 5 Course Showdown Elimination Round started to go askew on Holes 7-9 and continued thru Holes 13-15.
- I made Eagle on Hole 7 and the game froze and wouldn't recover so I was "awarded" Bogey on Holes 8&9
- I par 10, birdie 11, and then the player quit and the game froze afterwards and couldn't be recovered. RESULT: "Awarded" a Bogey on hole 12.
- Holes 13-15 the game froze after my opponent hit his approach. The game couldn't be recovered and I was "awarded" 3 Bogeys for those holes.
The game instability is ridiculous. I may have been 10-12 under and advancing to the Final Round easily. Now I doubt I will advance.
FRUSTRATING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know why any WGTer would play the rookie division .

There a so fewer glitches now than ever before . In all the Showdowns .

The " Waiting on opponent "

Works every time an opponent leaves the match . Also when there is a reconnect .

The game will either continue with you . With or without your opponent .

If the opponent forfeits correctly . You don't have to wait for anything . The round continues with you solo .

I think the players are not patient enough to wait the 45 seconds of spinning . Not realizing the game is set up to continue .

The Veteran mode is 100 credits . That's $1.00 .

Personally I will not play the Rookie mode . The Gimmies and such are too unstable .

This happened to me several times during showdown but it’s an easy fix on an iPad at least. Just close APP and come straight back in and the game is there for you to continue as a saved game .

I had the "gimme" bug every time my opponent took gimme and I still needed to finish out Luckily it was simple disconnection and game came back by itself. But I was sweating for sure.

I had the same problem with players quitting on the first hole. The screen froze and I got 3 bogeys. This happened 3 times over 9 holes! WGT showdowns are getting to be a joke

You know it's frustrating is going into the final round today and all the top 10 people are tour champions all over a level 150 and all shot - 15 or better. That's a joke to me and they all have over like 15 first place showdown badges. Anybody that is over a tour legend should be banned from playing the rookie division

Ok thanks that explains it I was -1 after 7 holes and the game quit on me and awarded +1 for the 9 holes. I was super annoyed but thankfully made it to round 2 anyway where I failed to qualify further, Oh well, next time.

If WGT charged the same 10 credits for a TL and up division, I would play there. With the glitches as they are, I’m not willing to pay 100 credits (and not 1000 for expert either) that could be used as prize money or a gift for a club member.

I'm guessing there may be a few hacks through TMs looking at your stats and thinking WTF are you doing in the rookie division...

The same thing happened to me! On holes 6, 9, and 17. It cost me 9 STROKES, as it stopped loading when I was attempting short birdie putts. It is not even the prize money/credits that bother me. It is the fact that I did PAY to upgrade clubs and balls and was playing well enough to compete for the win (would have been -14), but the glitches cost me. The game is so much fun to play, but the instability IS FRUSTRATING!
