Patch Notes 4.0 Discussion

Snore. Has anybody asked for a swing meter colour change? Like really…? had a quick scan through wish list thread and couldn’t see it. I would rather they did sweet FA than release a half arsed patch as a smoke screen to keep the player base clinging on. 

A games longevity, especially a Golf game requires a solid multiplayer platform. I get a bigger thrill playing Tetris than I do playing divot derby on this.

Shambles EA!

Players:

Here are a lot of issues with the game.

EA:

We just release some store stuff and some easy to fix backlog stuff that should have made it into release a few months ago. And other stuff noone wanted. Just make the patchnotes look bigger than they are.
We will be back (maybe) with another lackluster patch in a month that does not adress anything you asked for while working with a skeleton crew on this failed franchise.

Haven't touched the game in weeks now, this patch will not change that.
Stayed away from EA for years, came back for the golf. Paying full price for the game was a mistake. While single player is allright, the game is just not a good sports game that you can enjoy with friends. Sterile as * and it is clear that EA shuts down future development bit by bit and just delivers on minimal effort.

I personally don’t wanna see the meter at all. I need to disable it completely

Major disappointment...

For on-line play I was hoping for turn based play enabled, as well as the ability to fully control the playing environment for all players. Meaning that the host can control not only the GAMEPLAY settings, but those in VISUAL as well. Afterall don't we all want to know that all competitors are playing under the same conditions. I also don't want to be tied to presets decided on by the game developer as to what SIM settings should be.

The other major issue I thought would be addressed was the triple bogey cap on scoring. If one were to hit a ball into the water on a par 5 you are already losing effectively 2 strokes if you don't get yardage... 

The hole physics really need another rework. It needed to be addressed but in some ways they went way to far in trying to correct it.

I also found a new bug in career mode reflecting scoring.... it looks like they did address a lot of bugs but most of them look pretty trivial. They really need to work on getting the gameplay right.

I use the swing meter, and it was just a useless change. Also, for anyone trying to get one of the 100% power challenges good luck. It’s just harder now to judge 100% over swing until the swing passes into the red .

Anyone who wants to can go back to exactly how it was before. To do this they need to go into the Visual settings and change the Swing Meter Style from Modern to Classic. Which from a quick test is likely what I'll be doing.

I am blown away they have not added the ability to select the amount of rounds one can play in career mode.  Can't believe it.

I want to give them credit where its due, I am enjoying the new courses and the timing of them during major weeks. That is really neat, I like that.  I do feel like they are doing a decent job with bugs too.
