This wind is getting ridiculous

[Seymour Scagnetti]

2 possible makeshift solutions to this.

1. Turn the live weather off as it the conditions will become less extreme, you still get the high winds but it doesnt seem as bad, at least the 10 rounds I've played since I turned it off. And I haven't gotten any rain since i turned it off and I was getting it almost every other round before. It might just be a fluke but so far, so good.

2. Buy some boosts pins and hope that you get the "calm the wind" boost pin that lowers the wind 30%, then buy some refills. They have a sale right now where 75 refill pins cost 18000 coins which is a good deal and should be good to use for a few career seasons.


Don't count on a patch. Don't think its happening.

I wonder if conditions are windy so often for that reason - to get people to buy the 'calm the wind' pins.

Probably. Sounds like something that EA would pull. At this point I wouldnt put it past them that they purposely disabled live weather in career for the very same reason. Just seems bizarre they wouldn't address the live weather problem in the patch. Seems like it would be a simple fix yet was ignored.

While we're talking about wind. Can we get a fix to this glitch? Happens every time on this hole.

Speedy - Actually this isn't a glitch, at least the changing direction part. While the magnitude may be overstated, the 12th at Augusta is known for 'swirling' winds and this is actually pretty realistic.

In general EA has been quite careful with this particular course, i.e. no carnival pin placements etc.

Haha, I remember that TW10 weather 'fix' with unjacking from the net.

And to Zinger...no I don't believe that. I think that for SOME reason EA's golf team has never had a good handle on weather management in it's game. At least the pin can somewhat mitigate it this year. NEVER use live weather.

Interesting. Did not know this.

You are saying not to use live weather?
