Yes, the changes made to the Advanced Swing Mechanic put a premium on you executing the exact shot you are aimed for. So if you were someone that got by on doing like a -5/+5 kind of swing, you are going to become less accurate. There is no miss-hit if you nail the backswing length and follow through speed exactly right. But as you get away from those perfect points, more miss-hit is added. It isn't a random amount, it is quantified by how far off from perfect you are in each area. The only random to it is if that miss-hit is added to the left or the right.

First of all, thanks for answering this question in the detail needed. Based on your description, even if you nail the required backswing length, yet still have a downswing tempo/speed deviation, there will still be a proportional (and I'm so glad to hear that it's proportional!) accuracy error. You explained the reasoning for the randomness of the left/right back in July, and I understand the basis for it. I would prefer that it be weighted more towards quick being a pull and slow being a push, fwiw.

I'm not sure how this will work for players like me who prefer to modulate their backswings based on a full shot. We're now talking about a severe accuracy error for someone playing a 50% pitch shot (provided they left the club at its default pitch distance) with a modulated swing... hope this makes sense?

BTW, I completely buy into the reasoning for slow and quick tempos having a bearing on the shot accuracy; however, I think the game would be more flexible if this tempo was based on a ratio for a given player's swing speed preference. Some prefer a slower swing to help with the feel of the game. If the game was looking for a ratio of backswing/foreswing, players who prefer a slower swing could execute it without giving up accuracy for not maintaining a faster tempo. I can see the rationale for the slower swing player losing distance though in this model, which is only fair... they are sacrificing distance because of the lower risk associated with a slower swing.

It's something small that probably took hardly any time to fix. Be thankful and not so sarcastic. They are working on the other stuff as much as they can.

After patch downloaded played next tourny and it had all real golfers on the leader board including Bubba and Tiger. I know they said no Tiger this year but I hope we get 6 to 12 new golfers by the time next patch drops!

Here is my impressions after the patch, the game run smoother for sure but a lot of things are missings:
1. Be able to turn off crowds and tournaments setting if desired.
2. Match Play and all others type of game.
3. Have more weather options, real weather, sunny, cloudy, partly cloudy... etc etc
4. The winds direction selection is stupid, really need to fix this.. windy, breezy.. etc etc...
5. In tournament mode the amount of crowds around the player in relation with your position in the scoreboards.
6. Ability to delete all the fantasy course, fantasy players.... if desired or others courses.
7. More equipment brands, more clothings, chains, sunglass, hat, rings, necklace..more uniforms for real players and caddy.
8. Be able to customize distance for each club for created players and more distance, flight, etc etc customization.
9. Time of the season, summer, autumn
10. More camera angle...
11. Create our own season.

This is what I see so far
