Didn't know I was restricted from participating in discussion about a game that I do not own. If that's the case, perhaps you should STFU about the next EA golf game since you do not own it.
Bonus points to you, good sir, for knowing who "motherfucker" is, however.

Nobody owns it, so what is your point? I have owned every PGA/Tiger Woods game and the new one will be no exception. See, I like golf games, therefore I discuss them. I am rougher on EA's golf titles because they have had a game, almost yearly, since 1991 on the consoles. JB can call it hatred and it is no skin off my back, he is not paying for my games and neither is EA. I simply expect more for $59.99 price tag (plus hundreds of dollars for DLC courses over the years) that I have been playing for quite some time.
You, on the other hand, do not care for golf games (as mentioned already in this thread). I posted information about the next update and replied to a comment from JB. You are just here to get a rise out of me and that is just not going to happen. Appreciate the bonus points though, that was kind of you.

This is what I miss most about competing sports titles. TeamEA vs. TeamOtherGuy
I LOVE the $60 argument. People routinely spend more than $60 on dinner, drinks, movie, concert, sporting event, etc. Yet, when they buy a video game, they act like it is a major investment.
It's entertainment. It costs money. If you're not happy with the "bang for the buck", quit buying it.
If you thought a movie was terrible would you go see all the sequels and then complain about them? Seems insane to me.
If you're the one buying a game every year even though you have major complaints about the value you are getting from it, it seems more likely that you are the one with a gun to his head.

I'm fairly doing everything well, but chipping, pitching, and loft shots are killing at least 8-10 shots off my score. Working towards my first handicap rating, but it will suck![]()

This is pretty good

I think they did a fairly accurate job on the pitching/chipping. In real golf you can set up your wedges on down to your 7i for chipping, using a 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, etc... ratio on in the air vs roll out.
I attempt to apply this to the game and for the most part I can chip within a few feet of the hole. Once I started doing this my scores came down.
Adding/subtracting loft on full iron shots also helps with yardages.
Yeah that's how I'm getting by is adjusting the loft to a comfortable percentage.

Well, I may actually give this a try. It's part of the Xbox Spring Sale, today through the 12th, it's 67% off for Gold members, 60% off to Silver members. So instead of $35, it's $11.55 plus tax. For $12, I think I'd be willing to give this game a try, even if I end up not liking it. $12, meh, I just don't get fast food for dinner one night.
That is a great price Smooth.
I'd give it a tinker for that price...if it were for PS4
Played my first round, just a tee up round on Black Brook Golf Course. +12 in the front nine with four bogeys, a double bogey and two triple bogeys, -3 on the back nine with three birdies and six par. A hell of an improvement once I started to get the hang of putting and the green speeds.
Played my second round, again on Black Brook Golf Course with a simple Tee Off round. More consistent this time, though I had my trouble spots. Shot +4 on the front nine, +1 on the back nine for a +5 total for the round. Started off with five straight pars, before a horrible tee shot screwed me and left me double putting to a triple bogey on hole 6. Made a birdie on 7 but followed that with back to back bogeys on 8 and 9.
Started the back nine with back to back birdies and a par, then got hit with a bogey on 13 and a double bogey on 14. Cut the damage with a birdie on 15 and pars on 16 and 17, before missing an 18 foot putt just INCHES short of the bloody hole (even lined it up perfectly to account for the sideways green speeds), forcing me to end the round on a bogey.
Three more rounds and I'll unlock my Handicap Index. Three more rounds, and hopefully, I can make even par or even under par on this bastard course.
