Finally a fix for cup physics!
A nice addition as well with the eagerly requested Turn Based Stroke play
Would still love the following additions in the future
- More courses (pretty sure everyone wants this)
- A reduction in RNG on lower difficulties
Overall future is looking bright

OMG. Very good analogy. That just reminds me of antics done in Wrasslin, Or maybe something Bill Murray would do in a golf course.

@7AnimalMotherMore RNG ?!?! 🙄🤦♂️
Considering there is 0 now, more from rough and sands is absolutely called for.
Bad lies particularly heavy rough are not at all penal in this game. And yes those type of lies should have rng. Pro golfers don’t even know where there ball is going out of heavy rough. Thats why on courses that have it they try so hard to avoid it.
How is it fun to have the game artificially make you suck? I'm not a sim player, I just want the physics to be right and to be able to repeat a shot. Just because they're not including enough blades of grass or sand particles to affect each shot slightly different, doesn't mean I want an AI make the ball go in a different direction than I lined up for...especially when all my visual feedback says it should have gone where I aimed. If the meter shows I slipped the swing left, I get that and can focus on not repeating.
No matter how difficult they make the game, sim-wise, people are going to play it more than they'd get on the real course and master it in ways you wouldn't IRL. To me that's fine...it's a video game and I expect to master it and play against others doing the same. As it is, I just feel like I'm playing sloppy golf.
I am just wondering if you have anything good to say about anything. I have worked through a ship load of things in this golf game since it's beginning. Everything is workable and the constant re-programing that is being done has been fixing everything that it can. If you prefer other games ... by all means go to their forums.
I come to this forum to gain helpful hints and not the constant tripe from online constant negativity from social media types that hide behind their anonymity.
Good luck to you and all my best when you slip away. 👿

@drewgriffithsWill be sorry but very happy to see you go Drew. Mothers used to say 'save your breath to cool your pudding'. Constantly complaining about this game just prevents you from finding your your own solutions until fixes come out. They have done a great job with the releases. Programing is not that easy. Playing the game is. Hope that you have a new home with that other golf game.
This is a valid statement, the problem is as Drew is trying to make (and I don't want to speak for him); there are no solutions currently.
I have gone down this path... turn everything possible off, increase the AI in career mode to the max and there is still not enough challenge in the game. And this includes playing with a character with no skill points or specs.
AND I don't consider myself an especially good player. I only play between patches now, and checking out the game this week since the last patch I shot a -4 on SIM settings and a 67 base character at the country club.
Now I will put the game away again until the next update because my group doesn't feel it provides enough of a challenge.
And defining constructive criticism and complaining can be a fine line between how people interpret things. I would rather accept it as constructive criticism. I don't need to agree everything people have to say, but they are entitled to their opinion.

It is hopefully these people that provide a voice that moves the peanut down the road, give the developers a sense of where they can improve on or fix issues in the game. To remain silent acknowledges to them there is nothing wrong with the product and we know that isn't so.
The issue is even when EA has acknowledged a problem their solution has been worst than the original effort. Rather than blaming those wanting to help improve the product.... the blame should be on those producing it.
As I mentioned in another post, as a developer you have a responsibility to to improve on what you have done. I have seen too many instances where a software company will knowingly release a broken update with the mindset of we will fix it on the next patch.
I have always been of the mindset to hold back the patch and get it right first. It doesn't really provide goodwill and confidence to a client when you break their software more even if you are giving then an added feature.

Which was our hope when they pushed the released date back a year then what, another 3 weeks right before launch still requiring patches within weeks.
Shoot, that didn't come out right. I meant, you know how the developers worked an extra year and realized they'd have to patch it at launch so they pushed it back 3 weeks so they'd have a completed product customers would be happy with.
