    Re: Official Wishlist Thread... (Links Series)

    First off I would like to say I have been a supporter of the Links series for quite a few years now. Since the mid-late 90's. Anyhow, I was very skeptical about Links coming to the Xbox and while its not the PC edition, it is a very good console golf game.

    I would like to see the following enhancements :

    - Add another skill to the golfer to affect gameplay. You have power, accuracy, putting and recovery now.......how about luck or even composure. Make this attribute a major skill , as in if you don't build it up you won't get the full potential of your other skills. I just think a little more needs to be done building the skill level of the character.

    - Of course as its been said, better golfer customization. A few more character attributes, player models, clothing, accessories.

    - Somehow or other get around the legal issues of each club manufacturer being the same caliber. You don't see this issue raised in motorsports between car models. I think maybe have a few groups of club types for each manufacturer. Starting with low end clubs to the top notch clubs the por's would use. Of course you would have to pay for these OR earn sponsorship.

    - COURSE DESIGNER!!! Man, this is one of the best features of Links on the PC. It allows users to create their own custom courses and man some of them are damn good. MS even hired a few of these guys because they were making better courses than the Links Dev team. Then possibly with the help of Action Replay (ONLY USED FOR COURSE UPLOAD AND DOWNLOAD..i hate AR otherwise), be able to upload your course to a server for other to download and play. Just a though. I have over 500 FREE courses for my PC version and some of them are stellar replica's of their real life counterparts.

    - A much deeper career mode. It just seemed way to short. I mean yeah there were different levels of difficulty in the tours...But I would rather a tour you could just compete in for years over and over. Once you beat this game in career mode there is no reason to even go into career mode anymore. I would like the option to start a new tour and be the defeding champ at the courses all over again. ETC...

    Those are just a few things I would like to see. My mind is chock full of other ideas, but thats enough for now. Being my first post, man did I go overboard..LOL!

            Make it harder all the way around. On advanced the only time I miss a fairway is if I am playing in a gail force wind. Even then I might miss 2 or 3 per round.


            Thanks

                  1. Out of Bounds markers
                  2. Advanced level to be more difficult. It is still too easy to hit fairways on drives. Need to finagle with the analog just a bit or introduce a new control scheme to make it more difficult. Could add a button tap at the point of impact to coincide with the analog swing. I dunno, something. Something like the pitching meeter in MVP would be cool...need something to be more risk/reward.
                  3. Improve XBOX Live lobby. I need to see who is playing without having to add friends
                  4. Need to know how deep in the rough and sand I am. Needs to be levels of this!
                  5. Create-a-Course (I don't mean grab a hole from all the courses, like there is in Tiger)...I mean really create a course.
                  6. Drop ball option for OB and water shots. Provisional Shots. All the other golf rule goodies.
                  7. More Tour Pros...Why can't you have all of the top 100?
                  8. Create-a-player like Top Spin
                  9. Season mode/Career mode to include real tournaments (the Masters, TPC, US Open, etc.)
                  10. Better cameras
                  11. Clean up the framerate
                  12. Clean up the announcers
                  13. Better options for when you find yourself in the woods/weeds/etc. Too many times you get stuck in there with NO WAY of getting out.
                  14. Like to see more weather variety. Maybe tap into a real time weather for whenever you are playing online...sun angle, everything.
                  15. Speed golf with split-screen, so my buddy can come over and we can take on others online at the same time on ONE XBOX.

                  That's all for know.

                        For those without XBox Live the option to pay and download a course off the net ala Action Replay or course sent on demo discs that come with the Xbox magazine.

                              Actually my biggest wishlist item is that they release Links 2005. But I guess this is not happening
