Whole host of suggestions to make this game ever better.

Here are my suggestions (THIS IS LONG, but I think there's some good suggestions in here).

Camera

Create-a-Cam (control zoom, pitch, wide angle, etc).

Keep camera from pre-address view (lower and zoomed in more on golfer - looks awesome). Don’t zoom out and change angle when the golfer addresses the ball. The big close up low angle looks super realistic.

More creative ball flight camera - close up of ball spinning. Ball gets bigger the closer it gets to the camera. Improved sensation of speed, etc.

Roll cam - it sucks. Angle it up more. Grass fills the entire screen. Angle the camera up and show show us more of the course beauty. More like the hole flyover cam.

Player Customization

More customization for the create a player (facial features and body styles - fat, skinny, jacked, long legs, short legs, height, weight, etc).

Course Designer

Take a page out of 2k's book.

Events

Option to change the number of rounds in events.

Practice

Driving range. Maybe even a Top Golf partnership…

Night range option.

Golfers

Add legends (Nicklaus, Palmer, Trevino, Sneed, Hogan, etc)

Throwback Mode 

Vintage golfers, clubs and balls.

Equipment 

Shaft, heads, balls that affects ball flight (height, distance and spin, etc).

Retro Equipment - Balata balls, hickory shafts, persimmon heads.

Animations

More of them and more accurate to the shot result.

No fist pumping when 60ft from the hole.

Bend over and pick up the ball after a made putt. Don’t just stand there like a psycho.

Tee Box

Ability to move around in the tee box and position your shot.

Caddies 

More caddie customization, or real caddies.

Caddie tips Caddie yardage book

Hold the pin Move the bag out of the way

Pull clubs out of bags

Towel off the ball and clubs

Replays

Needed.

Weather/Time of Day

Dynamic weather and time of day (trees swaying, clouds moving, rain).

Course conditions that change with time of day and weather (this is needed).

Carts/Walking

Would be cool to be able to drive a cart and or walk to your ball.

Range Finder 

Ability to use a range finder to pick a target for distance, elevation, etc. 

Looks like looking through a range finder in real life.

Lies

More lie percentages variations. They’re too good too often.

Bunkers

No buried lies. There should be.

Sometimes ball is placed outside of bunker because there isn’t a camera angle properly programmed in the game.

Fat Shots/Thin Shots

Should be in the game.

On Screen Display 

Ability to turn/toggle off everything for more realism.

Frame-rate 60fps (I know it’s coming)

Driving

Too easy to hit the fairway.

Divots

On green after high shots like 2K.

Putting

More stances, more grips styles, putter lengths, etc.

Lip-outs

Iif not already fixed)

More Swing Type Options

Option for a much faster swing.

Way more swing types and animations.

Shot Types

Different stances for shot types

Sound More driver/putter sounds. “Ooooooooh” sound when a putt is tracking towards the hole.

“Boooooo” when you miss the green on 16 waste management.

Stances

More stances for driving, putting, bunker, flops, fades, draws, etc.

Fans

Fans track and react to ball more/better.

Really good game, could be unmatched with some of these things incorporated.

  • Great suggestions, we will be playing on PS7 by the time they've done with all that. Some I would really like to have back like in the old TW game. On the other end, more coding, more bugs.
