sim mode green grid

I understand you (EA) want the "difficulty" in sim mode, (but for me at least), the green grids are almost ALL the same color tone, light blue to even white on flat, with sort of darker blues to reds going up and downhill, the lighter colors do NO justice for breaking putts, everything looks straight in (at least to me) on putts 2-10 feet on flat courses, the further out I get the more I can see the green but sometimes that doesn't work either....

    They have always done that as I remember, that everybody should be able to hit like Tiger and progress to the top difficulty level. TW14 was the exception with this diagonal swing that even most sim players I know hated.


    I know I hate it. It's not that difficult to execute once you understand how it works... but to honest you can workaround it still using a regular swing. You just need to realize doing so just means the movement of the ball is opposite what you expect.

    The reason I hate it is because it goes against what you would do in real life. You don't change your swing when working a golf ball, you change your setup. Or at least that is how I have always done it.

    This diagonal swing idea is just gimmicky... which explains the lack of understanding the game designer has about the game.

    @PalomaMarvel24a "simulation" would be, go to your local golf course, hit a ball into the screen, if they have one, and if they don't, go find one
    this... is a video game....

    I agree it is a video game. I am by no means a SIM Player. I am an Arcade Player who turns out to be a 3-Clicker, and I feel left out of the game. My response is about including demographics. I don't advocate for excluding any demographics in the game because I know how it dam feels to be left out.

    Well we won't be able to complain about EA's game for that anymore, this guy is now working as Lead Game Designer for the 2K game.

  • I see you have improved immensely since this post was made. I played you yesterday and rage quit because I was so frustrated, but you were playing excellent, dialing in your shots and making puts like a real pro. I too think the lack of info in SIM mode is infuriating and not realistic, since your caddy would have a lot of the missing information. Cheers.
