Golf Clash How to detect Cheaters and what to do if you think you are playing one

[@aceventura4892]

Thanks for the info. This has happened to me twice but I thought it was just lag or something. Now I knowm

[@IcemanDevil66]

I was playing in a tournament once with outrageous wind. My Tee shot was blown out of bounds as was my opponents. The next shot I had to shoot from the Tees again, but my opponent got to shoot from where he landed, even though the game had said ‘Out of Bounds’ after his shot. Needless to say he won, because he got a one stroke advantage. I saved the replays, renamed them, submitted a ticket. On day 1, when I replayed his shot it said ‘Out of Bounds’, but mysteriously on Day 2 (when they finally reviewed the ticket) his shot changed and now appeared to be a good shot. I was like WTF! I think they changed it to make him somehow in bounds. 🤬

[@johnbonham1870]

That's happened to me. I saved one of my shots,as I got an eagle from a long way from the hole,shooting from a bunker, it was lucky I know,but when I came to show it my nephew, the ball missed the hole by a fraction, and I thought WTF, same as you.

[@benkaja1508]

Happened to me before

[@RKG64]

I commented in clan chat that there were hacks for no wind and always perfect, and pretty much got asked to leave the clan. I messaged Support same thing, and was told I just needed to be a better player to win more games. Thanks for posting this.

[@zrjones1984]

Foremost, you need to not blame other why you are losing. I have made a career out of beating cheaters. So don't let that be your crutch excuse as to why you can't beat the game or win a tournament. Yes there are cheaters, and yes they are beatable if you put your best foot forward and execute your shots how I teach on my channel.

[@RKG64]

@@zrjones1984 You are correct. My sentiment is that if PD claims it to be a game of skill, and that they take cheating seriously, then they must police their platform and deal with these issues seriously, especially when people are dumping hard earned money into PD's account , and PD is constantly offering incentives in exchange for money. My assertion to the clan was not to hand over money to PD, until these issues were resolved. Keep up the great information. Hit em straight and long!

[@ZMcQ88]

Had one of these a few days ago, and he did it on every shot, including the SO. By the time we got to the SO, I had got my screen recorder up and running though. Sent a ticket, and haven't gotten a response yet. It's been 3 days which is kind of frustrating that it takes this long to get a response.

[@terrylg9225]

I would also add that you should favorite the shot as well. I put in a query on a shot, marked it support and by the time they answered it had disappeared, so always favorite support replays.

[@habfan10001]

I have sent in video's and tagged replay's for support the problem with the replay's is FOR EXAMPLE... a skipping ball going 1000mph down the fairway and going out of bound but on next shot its on fairway or even the green... replay's do not record what shot you see.... it records the opponent POV of the shot... thats the problem with replay's... it should be a full recording of the entire hole played start to finish. and every outcome from support was.. we found no issues with the shots and that disconnection from server is the reason shots are not as they appear... they tell you to reload/restart the game and clear cache

[@str8jackin130]

I have feel vicitm twice and reported both with no response from playdemic. I will quit playing since they cant respond

[@terrylg9225]

Sidney Headen the 1st hole of the last tournament I had a cheater. One shot hooked and went straight, the second missed the hole but scored an Eagle same as me. Reported and got a reply, maybe they are inundated with cheating it takes longer to reply.

[@jackdare]

Is there also a 'timer' hack? Played a couple of opponents who didn't start adjusting for wind until time was almost out.. metronome went back & forth about 3 times AFTER timer hit 0 but, but they didn't time out 🤔

[@johnbonham1870]

I've seen that.

[@markdegler6607]

I had my appointed time out before my shot, I took my shot and then they gave him another shot. WTF?

[@jasonkwon3376]

Zachary, there are errors on the detection system, PD stated they have suspended many legit accounts as well. Only few of them got their account back active again but still many missed their chance to finish the tournaments. What do you think the legit players to do when pd accused you as a hacker?

[@robertmccafferty946]

[@lovedfromabove5446]

How come when I play an opponent during a draw....Many times it says the opponent disconnected...It happens way to many times...Are they using some kind of wind cheat?

[@Spooky711B]

Yes it's because they minimize the game to open programs. Happens to me allllot just b4 crazy shit happens.

[@lovedfromabove5446]

Spooky711B Have you seen your opponents ball fly out of bounds....Than magically on their next shot...it is on the green? It happened on my opponents every shot. So frustrating 😡

[@RushMMCXII]

So I’ve got a question regarding people who have clubs that there is no earthly way they should have. I recently went against a guy who was playing with an Apocalypse level 3. The problem is the guy only had 463 games under his belt. I’ve been playing for 7 1/2 months and have 2500 games under my belt and I haven’t even had a hint of getting an Apocalypse. This guy also had a win % of 88%. Have you ever seen someone with a level 3 Apocalypse and only played 463 games?

[@zrjones1984]

This is fairly normal for experienced players. I usually unlock apocalypse around 200-300 games and once I pass 3900 trophies it usually starts coming once or twice in the nightly reset shortly after first climbing above that threshold. It only takes 14 cards to have an apoc3. 34 cards to have an apoc4.

[@coolvidz6998]

I was about to win the game but suddenly I wasn't able to touch the screen or do anything until the time's up. is that one of hacking tools?

[@johnbonham1870]

I reported a player called Ff,his second shot landed in a bunker, when it came to his next shot,the ball was in the rough,how did the ball get out of the bunker. I've never been told if he was cheating or if he was banned, does anyone think his shot was a glitch,or was he cheating ?

[@RobNorman08]

I was messing about playing a practice game against myself (2 separate devices, 2 separate accounts) I hit a tee shot that ended up on the fairway just before the rough (clapping sound and "on fairway').... on my second device it (i.e what my opponent would see) it showed the ball roll into the rough (groans sound and "in rough") Thats obviously a glitch as definitely not hacking myself!

Thats the most revealing and epic event I've seen described here. Dammitman

[@1989shadow1]

I just get mad when my phone starts lagging and my arrow lands on good or great when clearly I landed it on perfect (unreal)

[@Materman76]

I'm finding that happening quite often on drives. Happened to me a few moments ago in tournament. Lined up and as the arrow approaches bullseye and I release, there's a moment of lag and my ball winds up 15 yards from the pin.

[@flippy6952]

I really want to say you are just bad..but I've tested this theory extensively. It happens when you are low on balls you paid for... not even bullshitting.

[@justiceyeboah2590]

Gamecrook works, all other web apps just moves a progress bar and do absolutely nothing.

[@scottmajor2725]

Been Playing for a while. Frequently seeing players drive further with golf balls with less power despite same wind and same driver over my ball which as higher power rating...please advise ty

[@jasonriddle1598]

Does anyone know if there is a cheat your opponent can use that prevents you from drawing your shot back to the center of the circle to get your shot right?

[@StandardRacing]

The game has many problems. I've played opponents who can't make a good shot the whole game and yet on their last shot when they have to make a hail mary to draw they somehow magically have a perfect shot. Other opponents shoot and the wind doesn't affect them. I have had games where a 7mph wind will blow me way off course and the next game if I adjust for the 7mph wind it doesn't affect my ball at all and I end up in the water or a bunker. I haven't played long but I notice when I get around 300 trophies I hit a brick wall and go on a losing spree. I will eventually get back to 300 but once I reach that magic number every game my shots go nowhere near where I aim or my opponents don't make a single mistake. I have to play perfectly every time just to get a draw and then I lose on the shootout because somehow my opponent who doesn't adjust for wind and slices the ball ends up less than a yard from the pin almost every time.

[@chrisfaust1159]

I sent in a ticket and just got a response back. They assured me that it is just a visual glitch on my device and that the correct player won the match. Then they returned my match fee as a gesture of goodwill.

[@johnbonham1870]

They will say that, so you won't stop playing. We all should stop playing for 2 days every week,so they lose money until they fix the problems, they won't like losing money.

Theres another one where the ball ends up on the green after its hit in the sand and the ball gets moved

[@billbkr32ify]

P.D. is saying they are glitches not cheats. They do not want to admit that many cheats/hacks have now infiltrated their app. The moment they admit it there will be many refunds being issued to a lot of players. Last week alone many have been reported and the reply is the same. This is not a cheat it is lag or a glitch you are experiencing on your device.

[@stikayuspirit]

I understand where your coming from but usually it only lags like that when your clock is counting down to 0

[@stikayuspirit]

He released at 2 seconds if he released at 0 it would've been more of what your talking about

[@str8jackin130]

Glitches dont move the opponents balls from the rough to the green. They will have to refund alot of folks. It is a hack, plain and simple

[@johnbonham1870]

Yeah,or it's my network WiFi problems, it's never their fault.

[@jasonantigua6825]

The game is completely fixed anyway,it’s no longer a game of skill! Instead it’s a game of luck! Which is totally fucking wrong,stopped playing it way back now.

[@Makinita24]

jason antigua I agree with you, it’s all so you feel the need to buy better equipment and spend money like a sucker, golf clash it’s just scam to take money from people. I keep on saying, the easier way to confuse people and blame it on them is to make things unclear, why do you think there isn’t any distance mark for the shots? Or any obvious signs of different elevations? If the put the numbers then it will be easy for people to do the math and see how they manipulate the outcome.

[@simplysimple7628]

Absolutely correct. Exactly what my clan and I have been talking about. 80% luck, 20% skill. It used to be the opposite. I once rematched a player and the 2 times we played he HIO onnthe shootouts and he even called it prior to making it. Luck? Maybe Fishy stuff.....

It looked like my opponent was disconnecting and then my opponent came back and it was like she reset the game back to the golf course. She got her ball in the hole with one turn when it shows that I took two turns and she won the game. I have no idea how it was done. I figure it had to be some sort of cheat.

[@JaCk-ry4ox]

After being tricked multiple times, i finally found somehting that works.

[@Makinita24]

This game is fixed, and manipulated anyways, I play from time to time but I stop caring about it cause it’s just manipulated, everything it’s so unclear, they don’t show you distances, elevations, or any type of markings, it’s easier for them to give weird bounces or rolls if they keep things hidden, math is only one, if they put numbers then people can figure it out, which means people won’t feel like they have to spend money to get balls and equipment just to make the wind less effective! Golfclash/playdemic is a game of luck not of skills, how many times the wind has change 180 degrees to somehow benefit a player that went in the rough? They manipulate the game like that as well, the wind changing directions is another trick they use and then call it random!

To be honest I play the tours for fun. I win 58% with connection fails and maybe cheats. I understand the ring method which proves to me that the game ia true. I know on my approach shot the second I hit the ball if it is going to be screwed, on the green, close tho the hole, or has a high chance of going in. Also I play tournaments and can seem to make the final cut. Funny how nobody says anything about a rough or sand shot they hit that maraculosusly went in, making them win. But if their opponent does this causing a lose its cheating. Haha
