This is not from experience, but from info provided...

I believe you will have to gauge the distance your self... (Ie... no gps #) so you will have to determine the club to hit yourself.... It may tell you the yardage (as pros even have that, but it will not give you an indication of what your club will do.... That is on you.....

To the previous discussion on swinging diagonally in sim mode... The point is to make a perfect swing very difficult.... From what it said, if I swing it str8, be prepared for rough ..... The diagonal swing is much harder to pull off and very hard to be precise.... That will give the mode the difficulty many have asked for with out resorting to Random Landings.... I love the idea as it killed the 3rd party controller debate along with the ... I hit every fairway debate.... So even though you are trying to hit the ball basically straight, you will have to hit with the diagonal swing as a fade or draw based on your preferences in your character..... Divot... correct me if I am wrong on this....

This sounds fantastic..with a capital F

Nope, you nailed it.....:wink:

Hm, I thought that swing style would incorporate actual swing styles/methods shown by each individual player. For example, Tiger is Sean Foley - centered swing; Bubba is all leverage where he swings with his toes in the air and Luke Donald is controlled - traditional swing.

Maybe I'm too much of a swing type enthusiast, or maybe there hasn't been footage that shows this - but this was what I was hoping for; either way it'snot a game breaker by any means.

So I am supposed to memorize all yardage on each of my clubs? How is that?

The OS XBOX 360 Country Club should be even more fun this year with this setting. Cannot wait.

For once, I might actually enjoy myself in something multiplayer!

In years past, the game gave you a general yardage # for each club when you select clubs... It is kind of needed as you get better and add attributes.... so you willl get a general 160 yd 9 iron... from there though, you will have to gauge elevation, wind, how hard, ect. ect.... remember.. This is Simulation...meaning the game at it most difficult level... It will not be for most people.... only the die hards

Bring it!!! Just hope the putting w/no grid works out okay. Wonder if you can select to have the grid on in Simulation? Just still wondering how well gridless will work. Didn't like it that way in 13.

The fact that Handsward commented about it and had similar issues with it we did is encouraging....

As long as we have free roam over the green to inspect the surface direction, I'm happy. I haven't played nexgen TW in a while, but in TW08 PC, this was very common. It would take me a while to putt - as it should.

Cannot wait for this game.

Options such as gridless greens and info for wind markers (I think I remember reading that there may even be a option for no wind markers at all, you judge wind from the swaying of the trees) can be turned on and off in sim mode, it will just default to custom. You can make it as hard as you like with many options in sim mode. I'm not a big fan of gridless greens unless they make it much easier to read this year. Last year was too much a guessing game.

I believe you will have 3 options with greens-grids with beads showing the severity of slope, grids with no beads and gridless.

Cool, and hopefully that's all still something that can be set for CC's too, I liked playing at the highest level with the grid on.

Im going to assume you have all the customization ability in setting up your CC events... There was a tease in one of the pics about Country Club Tour..... That really has some possibilities....
