And percentage wise...it's probably more like 98% two-putts on everything 6 ft out or more... Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

I find Green Grid On with No Beads is a sufficient challenge without being an exercise in frustration. Give it a try if putting becomes too easy.

PGA West brings the course total up to 17, if you count Paracel Islands and Treasure Island as courses. They don't move the meter for me, but they're there if you like that sort of thing. I'm still in my first year in Career mode and I haven't looked ahead to see how many events are on the calendar.

Where is the calendar and how do you access it?

There isn't one.

Have had this for a month now since the before Xmas sale.

Cons:

The engine is too much for an open-world, minimal loading golf game on PS4. Just way too much flickering, some of the worst jaggies I've seen, stuttering during celebration animations, terribly low res textures (especially compared to BF4, Battlefront, Dragon Inquisition etc using the same engine).

Commentary is bugged. A lot. You can be on the second hole, hit one bad approach and hear "he has played bad all day" or "bad way to start the back 9". Or if you are quick to tee, approach, putt and finish etc, the commentary forgets where you are and by the next hole they've started talking about the previous hole strategy.

The biggest flaw is the ball placement in bunkers. You can hit it right to the top edge of the bunker, almost on the fringe and yet the game makes you play it from the centre of the pit. It's really inconsistent and just ruins the sense of realism.

Lack of options in Career Mode. At first I thought the game was intelligent and instead of letting you drive well for example over and over and pump xp points into putting or something unrelated it was giving you points into areas where you played well. But it's all predetermined and laughable. I had a no bogey, every green in regulation round and got no stat improvements. I did the same again and am given a point in short game. Really poor mode in that sense.

Massive lack of pro players to play as.

Massive lack of licensed clothing to customise your look.

2015 and no face scan option?


Pros:

Great lighting system. Teeing off at different times of day really looks and feels different.

Player models are really good and animate well.

A number of control options that all work well. The analog stick swing on all of the hardest settings works really well.

It's a golf game and as addictive as they all are. It's still fun and plays well in most areas.

My mistake on this one chops. I thought I'd read someone speaking about the calendar in the game, as if it had one. I'm not a big career mode player, as I'm still in my first season of the career mode. I see DivotMaker (thanks for weighing in Tim) set the record straight on this. I wonder if this isn't something they could add in an update at some point? It certainly sounds like something that makes sense.

No prob, I was hoping it was there and just couldn't find it.

I wish we could pull that kissing your mother-in-law line from the game. I don't know if it's a common phrase, but I've never heard it. It sounds weird as hell and he says it every round lol.

Kissing your sister I have heard.

Kissing your mother-in-law in the right circumstances could be nice.
