Realistic scores?

[BlingBling19]

This game has been tons of fun to play but I am wondering though if perhaps the scores are getting a bit high.

Right now most tournaments that I am playing in are being won by scores that are around -30 or close to it.

Is that normal or am I correct in thinking that is to high? I'm also playing all 4 rounds each tournament so I am guessing that is playing a huge factor.

I haven't played much career mode, so I don't have much of a baseline from which to gauge it. What difficulty level are you playing? I'm playing what little bit of career mode I have in modified tournament difficulty. I turned the swing meters off from the stock settings. The two tournaments I've played were won with -21 and -17 (I had the -21). The rest of the scores posted in the tournament followed the same bell curve formula as all of the previous Tigers I've played. I never get the sense that the AI players are actually playing the rounds out based on individual stat models (well, I KNOW they're not) so I feel like I'm playing against a formula based spreadsheet than a field of AI golfers anyway.

I think the career mode tournament scoring has a lot to do with the difficulty level you're using, the level at which you have the "cpu" players set (I'm on normal), and how you have the weather set. I think I recall that if you set it to "Live" the AI/CPU players scores won't be affected by the weather, but they are scaled if you're using preset weather.

What difficulty is the AI set at? and what are your difficulty settings? The settings I have right now are so tough I had to turn down the AI difficulty to easy so most tournaments they shoot low teens to maybe 15 under because I couldnt get low enough scores. Right now Im in the Tour championship at East Lake and Tiger is leading with a -2 and Im at +6 tied for 28th. I feel like between what time of year it is and the mixture of my settings plus the weather its actually making this courses hard as hell to shoot 21 under. I can give you my settings if you want but there are very hard but when I almost win a tournament and tied for 5th while i shot a -11 Im so happy and pleased.

I'm playing with AI on Normal and scores range from -10 to -20 for the most part, which is about right

I couldn't help you out there, I always get like -20's lol
