Everybody's Golf Arrives on August 29 For PlayStation 4 - Post Impressions

[LowerWolf]

I shook off the rust pretty quick. Just got my first hole-in-one.

Edit: Ugh. Does it not auto save videos like OOB? It didn't save video of the ace. Glad I took a screenshot at least.

Usually it's not going to be worth the risk of torpedoing your entire round just to clear one obstacle. Manual link is on the Overview from the PS4 "dashboard". It just opens in a web browser.

Learned this lesson the hard way when I hit a tree, went into the rough and double bogied the hole. From that point onwards I play a safe shot to get around the obstacle and into the fairway. Downside is I can't birdie the hole so was wondering if there's something I was missing but I guess sometimes you have to play safe.

Reached Rank 2 a few mins ago unlocked the back 9 (Eagle course) along with another caddy and absolutely loving the game so far. Wish Sony comes out with a similar title for Tennis as well. So far I'm finding it an enhanced version of Wii sports games - simple & addictive gameplay but much more indepth & immersive.

Still won the tournament, but I'm rusty. Already bought the DLC course and I've got the preorder one too. Will definitely be playing this a lot. Has a bit of a Disney Infinity + Hot Shots Golf feel to me with the Home area. How do you drive the cart? I saw it but couldn't get in it.

It seems you have to beat a guy wearing racing kit. Got this message when I reached Rank 2. I guess he would be one of the boss AI golfers you have to beat on way to get to Rank 3 and will be able to unlock and drive the cart when you do so.

If it happened in an "unofficial" tournament, like one with the larger cups, then no, it doesn't. You can always use the ps4's video capture if there's something you want to record in one of those.

That explains it.

Hate that I have to work tomorrow. I could easily stay up all night playing this.

Folks, are you seeing picture based feedback mentioned in the manual below?
https://docs.playstation.com/reader/...apter=4&page=3

I haven't seen any of the pics (turtle, rabbit etc.) the manual mentions after hitting a shot. If you guys are seeing this feedback, any idea on how to turn it on? Also, how do you turn on/off "Auto Impact"? I want to make sure it's turned off and want to rule it out as the reason I'm not seeing this picture/image based feedback.

I don't remember seeing it for myself, but I was doing pretty well. I know I saw the turtle and rabbit a few times for the CPU in match play.

Auto Impact was off by default for me I think. Unless I inadvertently turned it off somehow.

Hmm, it'll pretty clearly say "Auto Impact" down by the shot meter if it's turned on. Mine is off (save for one event where I was forced to use it), and I definitely get the pictures when I miss impact. You have to miss the pink zone for it to count as "bad" impact though - missing perfect impact but staying inside the pink zone will still give you a decently-aimed shot.

If your shots aren't going where you want them to when you aren't getting bad impact, it might just be coming down to your Control. Not much you can do about it early on other than try to get close to the pin and level it up for your clubs, and use the Pin Hole clubs when they become available.
