Sure. There is. Just head into career settings and you can choose between a quick round, usually around 5-8 holes or full round.

You'll get a a 2,5 multiplier if you choose quick rounds. It's the the way to go for people that can't spend much time on this game. I go for full rounds as I sick at home, out of work (paid )! It nearly gives you the same progression aka lvl up as full rounds.

Thanks for the reply.

You're welcome.

Btw: what the game lags in terms of features the community does too. I don't want to get cocky or somewhat but the pros need to answers more questions!

I'm still mind blown how pebble beach and Torrey pines didn make the original course list, those have been staple courses of the series for a very long time

Because you're new to the boards, I'll assume you just didn't know, but a lot if not all of these questions have been answered. Often multiple times. All it takes is a quick search of the forums using the search tool.

In general, I think guys are great about answering questions in the golf forums on here, especially with DivotMaker's relationship with EA.

Alright then. I'll use the search function.
Other boards don't have that "problem" but anyway. I'll stick to the rules. First I thought it was because I did not spend the 20 bucks (had no individual ava icon)! ^^

Btw: when using my scouting report it just takes me to the thread but not the actual comment I made. Is that correct?!

I did the "X" button/default swing setup you suggested for full shots and that helped some. Usually what happens is I drop down another club and because I tend to hit everything with a fast tempo, with a splash of overswing, the shorter club seems to be close to the right club with the overspeed/overswing I execute. I didn't have enough time left in my 10 hour trial to experiment, like changing loft, a whole lot with this part, but it already seems like it would be more rewarding than the auto set to which the game defaults.

As for the putting experiment, I tried moving the marker out to 100 feet and tried hitting putts of 4 to 35 feet with it. It didn't feel anything near proportional. It seems the interface is so biased towards hitting 100 feet, that I have to back off the strength well below what felt natural. It wound up being more frustrating than the intended method. It seems my best bet with this is to use the same method I used with Tiger 13's putting interface; set the cursor about 2% further than the desired putt distance and then take just a little less than what the interface is looking for.

I'd like to have a fully proportional putting interface with a maximum distance of 100 feet, but I now realize this would require a major design change, and likely, an all new difficulty level. I don't think something like this is gonna happen, at least not at this point.

Just got the game yesterday and played it about 9 hours straight. Lol.

It's a fun game to play and the courses look visually stunning.

Career mode could be a little better I suppose but I'm not falling on my face over it. If they can improve it later on and add a calendar to the career home screen then that would be great.

Really, this game just needs to add more courses (15 perhaps?) and stop things from popping in like animals and grand stands when you load up a course then this game could be very solid.

I don't mind the online but if they add some of the other modes from older games to give different players a chance to play, and then add more courses, then the online will be very deep.

Overall though I'm really enjoying the game and can't wait for the updates that they mentioned.

And for the record, the infamous Paracel Storm course looks freakin' beautiful.
