XP and maxing my Golfer..

[DavidPuddy]

Hi, I have lots of XP points but for some reason can't seem to add them to my golfer. It will add them and save them but when I check them, they revert back to what they were before. Sometime when trying to add, I will just get the 'beep' sound and my stats won't increase even though I have lots of XP.

Does anyone know why this is?

thank you

From what I understand there is a cap of 510 points that you can use when distributing your attributes. If you hit that number that might be why you can't add any more.

i dunno, i have tons of XP points and still several attributes that can be upgraded costing 5000xp or 10000xp at a time and I have over 50,000XP at this point but can't seem to use them.

Am I missing something? You start at 35 on 6 different categories. So you can upgrade each skill 65 points. That is only 390 skill points that you can upgrade, so the cap must be alot lower than 510.

I think he means there are 510 Attribute Points you can have...not 510 XP Points

you can't max out every one

if you have all of the attributes at the same level the highest would be 85

(85 x 6 = 510)

Re: XP and maxing my Golfer..

My attributes to compare...

100 Power
90 Accuracy
70 Workability
100 Spin
50 Recovery
100 Putting

Add that up and it comes out to 510.... In my mind.. Power and Putting are the most important.. Spin and Accuracy are middle and Workability and Recovery are simply not important to me at all....

You really like the high spin? I always seem to over spin my shots with it that high. I have mine on like 60

I'm in your camp on this, I have my spin capped at 56. I get an amount of roll that seems to fit my style of play. I tend to hit most of my shots with what amounts to about 90% of perfect tempo, with a slight bit of overswing. My shots tend to come up short, but the roll I get with spin at 56 helps make up for that. OTOH, I can't shoot at pins with a narrow landing area and stop the ball on the green. Overall though, I like the way the game looks and feels with my setting of 56.

My Current Stats:

Power: 88
Accuracy: 87
Workability: 60
Spin: 60
Recovery: 76
Putting: 87

I like the way my guy is right now. I think I'm gonna max my power, accuracy, and putting at 90. I don't really have the need for any more spin , so I might throw some more points on recovery and workability for the heck of it.

Re: XP and maxing my Golfer..

I temporarily shuffled some numbers to see what the results would be on my distance. At a power level of 93, my golfer was showing "289" as the driver distance. At a power level of 100, it was only three yards higher at 292. Seventy thousand XP points to gain an average of three yards with the driver? I guess it's our choice. One thing I did notice was that I had more trouble playing a controlled draw with the 100% power. I hadn't robbed any points from my accuracy to get the power to 100 either.

I think I'll settle for whatever gets me an average of 290 off the tee. That will probably be 94 or 95.

Maximum distance on drives put it at 7 degrees and you can play with whatever power you want.

I'll try that, but I hate to think about how many doglegs I'd miss with a 7 degree driver!

Re: XP and maxing my Golfer..

Spin is relative to two things...

#1 - Mode... I use 100 spin as I compete on AM/Pro mode for low scores.. need some good spin to hole shots... I have found very little trouble with it...

#2 - On TP/Tournament... It does not have much effect unless you hit with a fast tempo... with a slow or perfect tempo... it simply will not spin much anyway

Recovery is meaningless to me

Accuracy has to do with the the ability to swing str8 and I have never had issues with that... I left it at 90 though for safety....

Workability... I tend to play most shots to 150 yds unless driving the green is possible....
