Five Things The Golf Club Can Improve Upon

[Skyflame21]

I also do very much enjoy the game. This past weekend was the first time my father and I game together in the same living room (or at all for that fact). Since the days of Duck Hunt. I'm 37 & he's 63 and we both enjoy golf so it was fantastic for my father who is not well versed in gaming be able to pick up the controller. Like noted the swing takes a few minor errors to get its grasp but following that it really does come down to processing the same information you'd have on a real course. What's my wind, how's my lie, do I want to flop or pitch and run. These are the same question we ask on a real course. I throughly enjoyed seeing my father get to enjoy another round golf from his recliner as the winter approaches. Thank you for the opportunity to enjoy that father son bond just one more time.

Anthony: I thank you for your thoughts on player progression. I never really liked the idea of getting better attributes for getting better in a game. If I play games I want to be constantly challenged by the game. If I get better the game should get harder. Otherwise it gets boring as most of those skill progression games do. FIFA Be a pro, NBA2K My Player and especially Tiger Woods are good examples how skill progression ruins the experoence the longer you play with one character. So I am really curious what your approach will look like. Keep up the good work.

Great stuff.

I agree w/ Anthony in that the difficulty of the game is about perfect. And I absolutely agree w/ him in that the game doesn't allow "super" golfers in the form of boosted attributes and that it shouldn't.

A sort of "career" mode is literally the only thing missing from the game and it's great that they have plans for that along w/ a HCP system.

Lastly, I know there are literally hundreds of tournaments/tours available that private users are spearheading (including some from this very forum), but I'd like the game to take more of an aggressive approach w/ the tournaments/tours. Like, certain HCP's play this tournament/tour and other HCP groups play another........ HB Studios can set them up, deem them "official" tournaments/tours and stat track the heck out of the players who play in them.

I know they have tours/tournaments set up, but I guess I'd like a devoted menu JUST for the HB Studios official tournaments. I guess that would be a bit of an undertaking, but I think it would organize things a bit more and make it easier for Joe Schmoo to get into one at his skill level and go from there.

Career progression (or just stat tracking) would also be in play there as well........

Physics
The physics though not perfect, have improved quite a bit, and I am happy with them as they are now. Any more improvements towards reality are a bonus.

Presentation
I for one really like the commentary. I like the way each hole is presented, and have no gripes with this.

Customization
I'd like to see more clothes and club customization. But, this game is still amazing without them.

Performance
I would still love to see more of a performance improvement. Im thankful for the performance tweaks that have already happened, but it seems as though this could be smoother. Not a priority though, imo.

Multiplayer
Here's the one thing that I would love to see improved. Multiplayer is still glitchy at times. Also, turn-based multiplayer is still so slow - such a delay between when your friends shoot and when you see it. This is my biggest gripe by far.
