Thank you for your response. Apology accepted. I never intended this to be an argument. I am only giving my observations. My golfer has an accuracy at about 8 for driving, approach and short game. I also have specs with good power and accuracy. The issues are at its worst at winds above 9 mph. I see a dispersion radius for each shot type. I expect the ball to land in that radius or at most twice the radius. However the ball lands in left field.I have no problem at winds below 9 mph. Within 72 yards, regardless of wind, my shots are deadshot accurate. At 1-2 mph winds, my deadshot accuracy range becomes 147 yards. Getting to my deadshot range has been the challenge if I aimed perfect perfect. I figured out a workaround on the RNG. I actually aimed for the rough and got more straight shots. With wide fairways, I got a FIR. With a narrow fairway, I got the rough, and I can manage a hack shot to the green from there. I am highly confident with my Hack shot. This is not an argument but only an observation. My stats are as follows: 71% FIR, 88% GIR and 7 feet proximity. As a note, my style is that of a power player. So our styles might be different.
I have gotten used to the TW series and this game was a major adjustment. I don’t play this game as much anymore and I am ready to move on to Madden NFL 24. I am a more avid fan of Football, American Football and Hockey than I am in golf. I am almost ready to say No Mas. Once Madden 24 arrives, I will spend more time posting in their forum and I won’t have much time making posts that don’t make a point in this forum. You will have one less person to deal with.
Thank you, i'm really not here to make enemies or anything like that. If my last reply sounded hostile, i might need to let you know i'm not a native english speaker and while i do think my english is pretty good, it's certainly not perfect. I'll do my best to double check phrasing etc from now on.
Also, i don't have issues "dealing" with you, quite contrary. After the details provided in your latest response i'd really like to assist figuring out what's happening here - if you're ready to move on to other games exclusively, that's totally fine as well, of course.
Our styles are completely different for sure, but i don't think that's the issue: i basically levelled towards max accuracy / almost max control with approach and short games, with decent driving accuracy but low-ish power (300yards max without overplaying / power tapping) and only 3pts in putting to get bronze texas wedge, with nothing in recovery except for short game so i could get golden "spinner" etc (no "hack" for me unfortunately).
But as i said i don't think that's the issue. I didn't experience the trouble even with a much lesser skilled character (granted, tee-shots been pretty tough and had to be played conservative to not end up in the rough in early days of my character).
Your stats don't sound too bad tbh, except for the FiR rate - i'd be in a bad mood with regards to the game as well in that case. Also, i have no clue to look up my stats, thought there wasn't even a way to do so, but judging by gut feeling i'm not much better besides the FiR rate, with the other 2 stats probably being not a lot better.
Are you using Power Drives more often than regular driving shots? I only have bronze and it's unusable in 99% of the cases, i rarely see "green light" even if commentators see it more often, not sure how much having it in silver/gold changes.
As for the wind, you probably know all of that, but for the off chance any of this was unknown:
- The indicated dispersion zone will not take wind into account, but the blue preview line is a good helper when it comes to crosswind.
- As the indicated zone doesn't take wind into account, for regular approach shots and above, add / substract ca 1yd per m/ph, obviously add when it's blowing in your face and substract when it comes from behind. When shots get closer, wind becomes less of a factor - lpitching from the fringe or anything i disregard the wind almost completely.
- This can vary a lot on the selected club and also if shot was hit high / low etc.. in general, i feel wedges (especially high shots) are affected a lot more, which appears logical due to the trajectory the ball takes.
- pure crosswinds shouldn't do too much in terms of distance, just check blue line for side adjustment and eyeball it (i don't even bother to count grids, but i guess one could).
- If wind comes at different angles than straight front/back/side you'd take whatever value would sit in between (let's say wind comes from 45deg front left, you'd take half of the indicated wind.)
- If wind gets stronger, the 1yd per 1mph of wind solution doesn't work anymore. Rather add / substract even more, with 1.5x the indicated wind speeds when it becomes become yellow.
Elevation obviously is a factor the indicated zone doesn't account for as well: generally add/substract 1yd per 3ft, also depending on shot type, club etc.
I do hope any of this may help, and apologize in case all of that info is obsolete, which might as well be the case given your avg pin distance - may it be helpful to another one.
As for the personal bit: yea i don't know anything about golf at all besides what i learned back in PS2 days on TW, and re-learned while playing PGA Tour now. More of a basketball person myself, but EA doesn't deal with that anymore - and i don't even wanna start about "the other one", at least not on PC.
