The ball physics is Egregiously Abysmal and I have just lost patience with it. From another post, the lip hangers and plastic wrap effect were mentioned. There was another post that mentioned the excessive backspin bringing ball backwards. It happened to me in Wolf Creek when I had a 71 yard finesse shot carrying a backspin that drove my ball backwards 69 yards; the net gain is 2 yards. This feels like full contact golf where Bills defenders are driving the Bengals rusher back to line of scrimmage. This is what the OP is seeing from this post. Other examples of bad ball physics is when the ball goes in opposite direction of the wind. I still picture the “works most of time” conversation in this case as well. Other golf games including all Tiger iterations, Rory and 2K do not have ball physics issues.
@PalomaMarvel24 Did you have to mention 'W*** C****' and the truly insane backspin there? I'll have nightmares now... 😉
That is one of the courses that is beyond terrible for it, in my opinion. Some of the shots see the backspin being enough to roll back tens of yards, when at best it would halt after a very short distance due to the angle of the slope. It just feels unreal when you watch a ball spin backwards uphill that far on a short shot.
@Noya_WesaWC is one of the most unrealistically terrible courses and no real PGA Tour Tournaments are played there. This course alone has so many physics defying cases. A large portions of lip-hangers happen here.
The worst of that course is the hole 3 par 3 where I have to emulate Maverick’s mountain climb from Top Gun Maverick. In reality, only an increase of one club is necessary, but this hole needs 3 club increases to pull off a Maverick.
When winds of 10 mph or greater are in WC, the backspin is more turbulent and is dislodged like the Mic Cardi B threw on stage. If this game is like NBA Jam, there might be an NPC of Cardi B throwing the ball to the original position to simulate the excessive backspin.
@PalomaMarvel24 Yeah, it is one that could easily be replaced with an official tournament course, and I wouldn't shed a single tear for the loss.
I completed the mastery for it, wiped my shoes on the way out of the gates and swore to never return.
After reading this thread though, I think I'll keep note of other weird backspin moments and keep adding them here as and when.
