Next patch are we going to see a change in weather conditions when it's put on Random ? Jeezus, I put the game back in the case and pop back in NHL because I'm playing with 18+ mph sideways winds and rain on every other day. It's ridiculous. Is there a fix other than finishing the season and changing the weather to real or waiting on a patch(hopefully)?

Re: TW11 - Tour Weather
If you are talking about the simulated tour, this is what I do, select real weather, then before you start your round, unplug the ethernet cable. It will be callm, if its like 2010 tw. i haven't tried it yet on 2011
Since its not connected, it cannot detect the live weather. Random obviously is a very bad choice, glad to know that. I will choose live, and unplug the cable.
Worked last year.
I too think their handling of weather is a bit over the top, so thats how I dealt with it. I hope it works for 2011 also. One gets tired of playing golf in gale force winds. -
Re: TW11 - Tour Weather
I don't know if random is all that bad. I've played 3 tournaments on the PGA schedule and one was sunny throughout, one was rainy on 1 day and one was rainy one full day and started raining on the last few holes on Sunday (I really liked that...the change within the round). Of all those, I only had one day that was really windy and gusty.
I've enjoyed random weather, personally. Maybe if it goes on and rain/wind is as consistently prevalent as it is for the OP, I might change my mind. No issues on my end yet, though.Comment

Re: TW11 - Tour Weather
What conditions do you guys set the courses up? Fast, hard fairways and greens, long rough or very for all them?Comment

Re: TW11 - Tour Weather
As far as weather I am not sincerely sure these things matter, well yes they do, but not so much. Yes wind is even more of an effect on fast fairways, super fast greens (which seems to be TWs obsession)
To me the point is that EA seems to think that all tournaments are played in semi-hurricane conditions. They have never had a grasp on the simple fact that many tourneys are played in mild winds of 3-8 mph, some are actually played with NO WIND.
They seem hung up on wind, and it has baffled me from the get go. And that is why I disconnect my network, to even the playing field. I don't know why any programmer who knows golf as well as these folks must, think that most tournaments, most rounds, are played in 20 mph winds. Sorry, just don't get it.
I will not play a tournament in constant 20mph winds, because that just doesn't happen very often. Can't be hard to fix, but they've done it for years, and show no signs of reality.Comment

Re: TW11 - Tour Weather
i do agree with jkeef...seems that only way they know how to make it challenging is to up the weather conditions ...not make the course harder from a golf point of view.Comment
