This wind is getting ridiculous

[BrownLemons]

Overall I think Tiger Woods 13 is a great game. My only real gripe is since I have bumped the difficulty up to tournament setting, it seems like every round I play in my career the wind is blowing 25 to 35 mph. What's even more frustrating is I have live weather enabled and it never matches up with what the real live weather is. I live about 10 minutes from sawgrass and I played earlier today with live weather and it rained and the wind blew 20+mph the whole time while it was sunny and calm all day here. Is anyone else seeing this on tournament level or is there some kind of glitch with the live weather?

I believe this is the issue right now.

I had to turn off live weather, and even then I still get the occasional hurricane. What is annoying is that the AI seems unaffected by golfing in 30 mph winds. I can't even reach some par 4s in 2 shots...

I love this game, but the large number of bugs is frustrating.

This is what really got me. I was playing in Scottsdale and couldn't reach the fairway with my tee shot and my cag's power is at 80. Like I said, I think the game is really good this year but wind being used to add difficulty is taking a little bit of the fun out of it for me.

Also at times the wind just makes no sense. If you have 15-20 MPH winds blowing toward the hole and the ball somehow lands 40 yards short with a club that was 30 yards more than you needed that is ridiculous

Yeah, the wind is over the top. Just fix the live weather and we will be golden.

Re: This wind is getting ridiculous

I'm still on the Nike Tour playing Tournament Pro level so I haven't seen this as yet.

I remember having issues with high winds in TW 2010. I ended up configuring the game for live weather and disconnecting my internet connection. Everything was calm. Not ideal but better then the hurricanes.

Has anyone tried this in TW 13?

Re: This wind is getting ridiculous

I play on Pro and have Live Weather off and I still get the winds. 20-30mph winds at Augusta...next tournament 20-30 mph winds at TPC San Antonio. It is almost unplayable in those conditions.

Re: This wind is getting ridiculous

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.

Re: This wind is getting ridiculous

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.
