You guys still shooting in the 50s???

[Chairman7w]

(I don't have this game yet, so I'm asking those that do)

I've always had an issue with the scoring in the Tiger games. -22 at a US Open is just ludicrous. Shouldn't happen. Ever.

That should be something a tester should see and immediately say, "Hey, we need to fix this." It's just baffling why that doesn't happen. I would LOVE to have an actual conversation with a developer and ask why this is... (shrug)

Let's pretend we're the developer. How would YOU fix this? How do you make it "harder" ?

My main fix/suggestion is to MAKE THE ROUGH MORE PUNISHING. And the way to do that is to make the results out of the rough random!!! (You know - like real life)

Sometimes (in real life) when you're in the rough, the ball will go left, or go right, or jump farther, or end up way shorter... And this is proportional depending on how deep in the rough you are. THAT is what they need to add in the game.

The way it is now (unless TW12 fixed it) is a joke, you just add the appropriate extra distance and there's no discernible penalty. Fu&($% ridiculous.

What else could we do to "fix" the Tiger games?

Play on tournament difficulty and see how many 50s you shoot. Played a daily tourney online last night on tourney diff w/ my created guy and shot +19. And the scoring sliders make it so you can finally tune CPU scoring to your liking.

That is good to hear! (not your unfortunate score - the other part)

yea. the game is harder and more sim. Tuning AI scoring is a great addition for the sim aspect. play on tour difficulty and im sure you wont even see many low 60s, albeit 50's.

This. My best round yesterday was a +5. (360, controller, Tournament Difficulty).

And TW11 was challenging too.

I'm shooting realistically on TOUR Pro setting, my best being -2 with my created golfer.


However in the online tournaments I am seeing -25's in first place all the way down to T18

Re: You guys still shooting in the 50s???

are you guys putting a cap on your attributes? I do not want to do like my son does and max out everything. I want to be able to shoot a 64 as well as an 84.

Yesterday with my created golfer I only got a +10 in a tournament.

My best score on tournament difficulty is a 90 at the Masters

Re: You guys still shooting in the 50s???

Some of my suggestions:

- Definitely have the rough results more random (some long, some left, etc)
- Same thing out of the traps
- Have your overall skill level affect the limit of the randomness
- No altering the shot once it's left the clubface
- Have a touch of randomness in putting too. As a real golfer, I know for a fact that there has been plenty of times I just KNEW I hit it right and still missed it! (Have that increase with the distance of the putt)
- Scrap putt preview, that's just unrealistic cheating
- More clothing options (seriously, I like that aspect! Hahahaha)
- Never, ever, EVER have a US Open winner be more than -6 or -8. It MUST be tough!
- Clean up animations. I mean, seriously - there's just ONE freakin' guy on the screen! It should be PERFECT!! But he's STILL still and robotic. Come on.
- For that matter, include MORE animations. More after shot reaction types, more camera angles, etc. There should be hundreds. If MLB The Show can have a gazillion different batting and pitching animations, Golf should have more swing styles and reaction animations.
- Can we PLEASE get rid of the cartoony GIANT golf club heads???? WTH????

That's all I can think of for now....

My scores are so bad through the first few holes that I haven't finished a tournament yet.

I've played TEMPLON in the AM Tour "warmup" match play event about 10 times and he's beaten me every time. I'm playing on Tour Difficulty and the putting is just insane. I'm getting better, but I'm really gonna have to practice to be able to shoot decent scores. In case any of that sounds negative, I am Loving this game right now because of the difficulty.

did you actually play the game yet are you still posting based off your opinions of past years?

Re: You guys still shooting in the 50s???

I played 9 holes last night at Whistling Straits with it set to Tournament mode. I had everything set to the hardest setting, no putting grid, no putting meter, and no caddie, all custom shots. Played for the first time with the PS Move and shot a 52.

Then I played 18 holes at East Lake in the first event of the AM Tour with the same settings as above and shot an 89. I think I hit 4 fairways that round.

I feel as though I enjoy the game the most when playing it as a true sim. Trying to keep all factors as realistic as I can.

I still have some experimenting to do with the Move to get the hang of it.

No, I don't have it yet (and said as much in my OP).

Re: You guys still shooting in the 50s???

Shot a +13 on the back nine at Augusta last night (Tour Pro using Tiger Woods w/ the PS Move).

I was like +7 or 8 on Amen Corner.
