TGC 2019 Patch #2 and DLC Course

Re: TGC 2019 Patch #2 and DLC Course

HB_CraigC just posted the following about the gameplay update to come next week in the official forum:

"As I noted in my original post, spin rates and trajectories will be updated as well as the distance ranges (loss/gains) in the shot shaper. These are club tunings not swing tunings. Surface penalties are also being updated based on the feedback we've received thus far.

"SWING CHANGES" would be the portion of my post where I stated swing difficulty tunings will come AFTER everyone has settled in and provided feedback on the new trajectories and surface penalties. Unlike clubs and surfaces, swing plane and tempo tunings cannot be done on the server.

I can't really elaborate anymore than that. Hopefully this clears up any misconceptions.

*EDIT* It is our full intention to include server tunings into future patche(s) so they are available when playing offline."

+ 1000.

Looking forward to this.

Good stuff. Longing for the day when I use master clubs I can stick a seven iron to a couple
feet with a clean shot. Accounting for roll out and having to down a club has been annoying. Any eta what day this’ll go live?

Re: TGC 2019 Patch #2 and DLC Course

Overall, I'm truly enjoying 2019, especially after getting used to the fact that I usually have to club down to compensate for the roll when approaching the green. But I do have a question regarding swing control. Do any of you feel that "at times" it feels like no matter how bang on your swing tempo feels and how well you've adjusted for the wind and ball lie, that all of a sudden the game says "oh no, your ball is going to veer way off course to prevent you from getting a birdie or par on this hole?"

I've honestly had this happen too many times now for it to be coincidence, and especially on the back 9 par 5's when I'm having a great round. As I'm moving my analogue stick back and forth on the swing I'm thinking great tempo once again, but yet the ball veers off course like I totally shanked it when I know I didn't. I totally accept bad shots when I know my timing is off, but too many times now I've almost tossed my controller in feeling like the game is taking control away from me at times and deciding on its own where the ball is going to end up.

I'm using pro clubs and have used the practice range, especially in the beginning to get my timing down which I've been quite happy with, but the enjoyment of the game almost becomes infuriating when suddenly, out of the blue, your shots start going way off course. I take full responsibility when I know I screw up, but when my timing feels bang on yet the game says otherwise is when I wonder what the heck is going on.

I want to download courses from the TGC community.  That's more important than clothing and such.  Is there a site that can do that for us?

I just can't see myself getting there. Last night I played with Pro clubs for an entire round, and even that was too difficult to maintain any sort of consistency. (This, after I just played a career-best 12-under, 59 at the FedEx Cup with Beginner clubs.) I just have way too much variance in swing accuracy (power, as well).


I played around a bit with different thumb placements on the R-stick (currently using the 2-finger "pinch" method for swinging). But could not maintain any semblance of consistency -- I'd say only 3 out of every 10 swings were good ...


Anyone have any tips on using Pro/Master clubs with any consistency?!

Only in game and you don’t download them. You add them to your favorites list.

Is there a limit on the number of courses you can add to the favorites list?

Hard to explain, but I try to rest my thumb on top of the thumb stick rather than the edges, that seems to work best. And don’t “flick it” back up on the downswing. With master clubs, more often than not you’ll get a “fast” or “very fast” feedback.

I gotcha.

Yeah last night I tried using the "crease" of my thumb, and placing it on the top of the R-stick. This did help to limit some of the swing variance. But as I said most swings were just wild and off to the side on the either the up or downswing (or both).

I'll probably play with it a few more days, but I'll most like go back to using the "pinch" ...

Looks like the server update has been applied.

Not sure what's going on now. I'm on Xbox, and noticed the change earlier today as soon as I went to check my club distances on the main menu in edit golfer. I played a round and thought the changes were great in how the ball was coming to rest much quicker than before.

But then, not even 2 hours later, I came back to play my 2nd round and noticed right off the bat that my driver distance was back to the original setting from when the game was first released and that the ball physics were as well??? So I uninstalled and reinstalled which didn't do a thing. HB, what the heck is going on?

There were some problems with it, so they had to temporarily roll back the changes.

Thanks for letting me know, but where did you find out that this was the case? I missed it I guess, because I didn't see anything posted on Twitter or Facebook about it so that's why I asked.

There are some threads and discussions on the TGC website. The forums there have a lot of info regarding season 5 and Q school. Hb put the server update out but had to pull it because there were a few issues like the guy above stated. No timetable yet for when it will be implemented again.
