Xbox 360 OS Bushwood CC (TW14)

Re: XBOX 360 Country Club (TW14)

Would anyone be interested in having some sort of rankings for our weekly four round tournaments? I think it might add a bit of fun to it. I figure the top 10 finishers could get points and we'd update the standings at the end of each week. We'd just have to come up with a decent point system to make it work.

The OS Cup Standings.

Sounds like a fun idea to keep people trying to participate in every tournament they can.

You know what would be an awesome feature that should be used with Smart Glass with the 360? A yardage book/golfing GPS. It would give you where you drove the ball off the tee, yardage markers, front/middle/back of green and you could add simple notes. That way the sim mode would not have to change a thing and you would get info. like you do when you actually play golf.

What do you guys think?

Country Club Settings:

My suggestion is straight sim with green grid on with no beads. No pins and no pro players. I think that's the bet test, no grid makes putting damn near impossible.

I have no problems not using any type of aids when on the green. On the longer putts it can be challenging at times but that's what I've been looking for for years.

I thought the CC was gonna be STRAIGHT SIM?? Whatever everyone decides I guess I will roll with it

I'll throw my hat in the ring for no grid, but have no issue the other way.

Using the crouch on the green (with Kinect) I can see a lot of the break in 5-30 foot putts. That combined with the angle of the ball in reference to your feet has given me a decent read most of the time.

My vote is FOR a grid.

But I will adapt regardless of what we end up using.

Re: XBOX 360 Country Club (TW14)

I love that the different courses are having such a different effect using these settings. On easier settings they all feel the same.

I just shot a +3 on one course (can't remember which), and now I'm struggling to do any better than +10 on Pebble Beach.

Re: XBOX 360 Country Club (TW14)

I tried playing without the grid on the green, no dice. Just can't see the break at all and this is on a 60 inch 2011 Sony Bravia TV. Playstation 4 yes, these consoles, no.

It totally takes the fun out of the game, I don't want to do algebra with the numbers they give you and not being able to see the slopes before/beyond the hole, etc.

On sim difficulty the putting is challenging enough and realistic and it doesn't take me forever to read the green (and even then I still don't have an idea half the time), you can still under/over read putts, I do it all the time, I think it's great with the grid. I've liked the grid since the Sega Genesis version!

I can handle everything else at the hardest level except this,-- oops wait, strike meter needs to be analog too, lol. Guessing isn't "sim". Doing algebra with the numbers instead of actually "seeing" the break (that's why the grid is there) isn't sim. Not being able to see a big slope beyond the hole because there is no grid isn't sim.

My suggestions:

Strike meter Analog
Green Grids On

I think those 2 are imperative.

Wind info, full.
Zoom to aim, on.

I could live without those but again, denying me information I would have/know on a course to increase difficulty isn't sim to me.

I think because the "Time Of Day" setting is set to "Live" is where the issue may be. This Live Setting will be an issue for those that work during the day because every Club rd for us/those will be at night

The time of day will be set to afternoon or morning in the tourneys.

Re: XBOX 360 Country Club (TW14)

Don't mean to be a pest, but are you guys still letting members in?

I've just been playing the career mode to get my guy leveled up for tournament play. I'm hoping I get better as my player does :P Shot my first round under par with these settings at Atlanta Athletic last night.

A -2 never felt so rewarding.

Re: XBOX 360 Country Club (TW14)

I broke down and tried the demo Saturday, just to get a read on Sim difficulty.

My first go I finished horribly lol. Like +10 for three holes. But I adapted quickly and was +2 to +4 at the worst after several tries, and I felt good about how it was playing. An odd combination of how I would hit in real life + how I play in games, especially my short game which was good.

Putting without the grid...it's certainly a different feel from last year. Greens felt pretty slow. With the graphics improvements I could nearly read the greens. I guess I'm either way on the grids for our CC. To me it's an equalizer either way. If there is no grid, we'll all be forced to really sharpen the approaches for shorter putts.

Overall I liked what I saw! Can't wait for tomorrow to create my CAG and start lowering the bar for the CC

Don't worry! You'll get better haha. My first round with these settings I shot a +18. After about 15 rounds my average is down to a +6 or so.

The biggest issue I'm having is judging the wind... it's really tough with just the arrow. Looking at the trees sway and whatnot is only so much of an indication.
