Patch Notes 11.0 First Impressions

hope

Turn based stroke play was something requested by many since the start, I'm very surprised they got around to make that available almost a year after the game was released. Pleasantly surprised devs are still working on this game so much, and bravo to them.

Still no mention of the Series S career saving bug. Sick of this game 

@agentputt We still desperately need harder difficulty swing settings added, more punishment for bad lies and RNG needs to be pretty much completely removed because it’s just not realistic to have any RNG added. Shots needs to make sense and RNG does the opposite of that.

Another very lazy update from EA failing to address the biggest issues. I’ll be glad when EA finally shelve.this game again and hopefully for good this time with 2K23 being light years ahead of EA’s flat and half assed effort. Amazing how 2K have embarrassed EA in NBA games, NHL games, NFL games and now golf games

Everyone has their priorities. The cup physics are - to me - the biggest issue this game has. Way too many lip outs that defied the rules of gravity and totally removed much of the immersion that this is a "simulation" golf game.

The fact they are willing to 100% overhaul the cup physics after almost 10 months is kind of crazy. It shows they are willing to make massive changes to the game even after this much time. Granted, so many things need to be addressed or added to this game, but I don't see this as a "lazy" update - they are literally completely replacing the tech for how the golf ball interacts with the cup. That seems to be a pretty massive undertaking.

Now, if the update makes no noticeable difference or actually makes it worse, then I don't know what to say. 

I do agree that the difficulty and RNG in the game is an area of concern, too. But if the golf ball doesn't go into the golf hole properly, then the rest of the game doesn't really matter.

@sroel908 Have a read of this from the patch notes

”Although some lip-ins and lip-outs may appear different than they did before, the frequency of hole outs and lip-outs is comparable to the previous tech”

The game has always felt like it had no real physics and when they talk about frequencies of lip outs being comparable to how it was before, it tells me they are trying to pull the wool over our eyes saying it’s all new technology in this update. I call BS on it and it looks like a mere tweak to their fake physics which supports my opinion that with all the issues the game has had since it launched 9 months ago, this update is so so lazy and we will all be having the same conversations about the same issues within hours of the new update applying

I absolutely get that the game caters for the casuals and some will enjoy it and that’s their absolute right to do so but as a real competent golfer, this game is an insult to the sport. I know you’ll feel that’s a bit harsh but for a game that markets itself as an accurate simulation of golf, it plays like a game that is a million miles from anything like simulation golf and thats why it is such an insult to golf and actually it’s consumers who expected it to play like we were told.

i stand by what i said in that EA should ditch the game because they clearly have no idea about golf.

I don't think that the game is perfect but I cannot understand someone saying that this game is a million miles from simulation golf ...

No pro pass points being given in tournaments, career or online.
