This patch has made a monumental difference in the feel of the swing interface. In two rounds I've only had one, minor hesitation with a putt backstroke, which I stopped and started the swing again without incident. I'm no longer paranoid about swing stuttering. The game has a tighter, more fluid flow feel to it now.

i agree. This game plays so much smoother. Great patch

Shaun West (Executive Producer of TGC 2) has indicated that they are looking into fixing the spoiler leaderboards for tournaments in the next patch. I hope they come through on that one because all of the mystique of tournament play is missing right now because you know everyone's 18 hole score, including that of your ghost playing companion, for the current round when the leaderboard is displayed after the first hole.

I loved the way TGC 1 handled this, as the leaderboard would show the scored of players who were at most, 10 holes ahead of you, but then the rest would be staggered and spread over leaderboard at different stages of completion, both ahead of and behind you, as if the rounds were actually in progress at that time. It really had a live, unfolding event feel about it!

The latest patch was made available last night for the XBox One. I was only able to confirm that my XB1 had downloaded it when I got home from work this morning... haven't had a chance to play it yet.

Anybody on Xbox notice that the text has been changed?

I think the black outline on white text (in game info text yardage etch) is new?

But one issue is I use measurement mode "range" not precise and the pin yardage text got really wide and stretched in the update so precise is wide but range has huge text across top of screen

Not game breaking just uncomfortable to look at, maybe a Dev will hear about it here.


Edit: oh and I'm still getting a hitch in my backswing, maybe not as often but still hiccups

It's new, but you can turn it on or off in the HUD settings.

I have not tried the Range measurement mode since this latest patch, but I will and I'll report back to you.

I'm getting no hitches now since the patch (XB1), over the course of four rounds. Even the pre-shot lag and post shot frame skipping are pretty much non-existent now. This varies from user to user now and I think it has much more to do with network issues than anything else.

I downloaded the patch on PS4 and the issue with swing stuttering is still heavily present on PS4. They may have resolved it on putts, but when swinging regular clubs, you have to pull back on the right analog stick HARD or else your player's swing automatically resets. This is really frustrating since we had no swing issues like this is TGC1. Would really like to know if the devs are going to fix this issue or not.
