I like the game. I've never tried online tournaments or the ranked rounds. I just read about those tonight. GREAT - another obsession.
It really is a solid game right now. At release, it was a bit underwhelming. With the additions of additional courses, and game modes, it progressed really well.

Still not as deep as I'd have liked, but solid enough now to be a good addition to your game library.

i'd like to see the masters back into this new frostbite engine...

i liked in TW14 the camera behind your back when you are setting up your shot.


also Jim Nantz needs to come back because this commentary sucks.

they need to improve RM 2 in these areas.

10 rounds in now plus one non-ranked fun 4some. I have not found ANY H2H 3 click ranked matches yet but perhaps because it's freaking January LOL

Do I need to sent wind at random or something? not a lot of variation yet in two tournaments. I'm still on the default 3-click settings and should win my 1st tournament in career which seemed a little too easy.

BTW - turn commentary off and turn UP the music to LOUD. GREAT turns that match your emotion. I was shocked!

Yes on both counts.

Well, 3-clicking on default settings in my 2nd Pro tournament I won by 11 strokes wit ha -21.

I see many people with -21 on 9 holes but I'm no thumb jockey so . . .

I'm starting over with Custom 3-click settings. Everything hard but I want ball arc and green bubble thingys on. I don't mind winning but I do like to struggle a LITTLE

Game is incredibly too easy. I am playing with custom settings, 3-click hard, all wind and lie effects turned up to the max, shot arc off, zoom off. The only thing I have on is the break bubbles on the green (because its impossible to remotely read greens without it)

Won my first tournament by 6 strokes with a 61 overall golfer and I played horribly. I imagine I will be winning every tournament by double digit strokes from here on out...

Is there something I am missing?
 
# 608 Grinder12000 @ 01/18/17 11:37 AM
I was using 3-click on default settings and won my first tournament by 13 hitting in the 62s.

So I turned off all the helps except for putting and went from normal swing to Hard swing and my scores ballooned up to the 85s.

I WISH there was one more setting. Make swing speed and the two target spots separate. Normal swing speed but make mistakes more noticeable.

Although I'm still at level 65 it is still a little easy. I can either hit 85s or 68s - no in between. It's not the golfing that is troubling me - it's the tournaments. I want to struggle a little to make cuts as I get better. The tournaments are too easy!!

BTW - I literally "golfed" on a green screen so so many years ago. Before Tiger Woods.

Interesting everyone hated Nantz in Madden but want him to come back to golf. So I am thinking of downloading this game again, what modes and other things (besides the 19 courses) were added since launch?
 
# 610 Grinder12000 @ 01/23/17 06:06 PM
The commentary is good but pretty random really.

I play 3-click classic and seeing the online numbers - MOST play arcade style but I can't stand that.

My question is in online tournaments (daily and weekly) - is it my PRO character playing? I'm only rated as a level 66 and can't hit some of those drives at Wolf Creek so it MUST be my created and still acquiring skills player (I hope).

Pretty much ditto Jay said above. a LOT of holes I hope they fill in. Just not enough NON-golf excitement like looking back at tournaments, replays and so forth.
 
# 611 Grinder12000 @ 01/24/17 07:02 PM
So I finally get into a Head on Head ranked game and the guy drops out on the last shot and I get zero credit?

NOTE - I did get credit - not many players out there at the moment though

Is this game worth buying now? Doesnt sound like any new golf games will be coming out anytime soon.

Depends on the price and your need for a golf fix.

The obvious answer is get EA access if you're on Xbox.

Personally I would I wouldn't pay more than $15, but that's just me. A lot of people in this thread have been enjoying the game so there's probably some different opinions out there.

Just got the game last week having a lot of fun with it.
Having a career using 3 click hard swing. Started off shooting in the 80's. Missed cut in first tournament. 2nd tournament -3 after first round leader at-6. It's a good game

I love the game - have gottin way more bang for buck out of it. Yea - it's a little shallow but beautiful. Ball flight dynamics are perfect. Loads demon fast.

I do have a question - the online tournaments - what are the tiebreaker numbers ????
 
# 618 daley9 @ 01/29/17 03:23 PM
Do the pin placements stay the same for all four rounds.?

No-ish. They move around but not dramatically - at least not for me yet. They are always in tricky locations
