2k21 golf -wind adjustment

[themetallikid]

Ok so the last area that i need to really figure out is my longer approach iron shots and how the wind affects them.

Lets say wind is in my face 10mph, im 180 yards out. I push the view button to see where my landing area is... question 1) is that landing area already accounting for the wind effect? Or do i need to go up a club to aim past the hole enough so that the wind then brings me back to the hole distance?

I typically will over club in this situation, also add backspin and almost all the time end up long on the hole. Easy compensation.... dont club up right?

The opposite thing happens though it seems when wind is behind me. Same scenario 10mph wind behind me. 180yds... i should club down 1 or 2 clubs depending on my ball striking options. When i do that. I tend to come up short or sometimes go long...

Struggling to find a consistent formula to adjust shot length. Similarly when adjusting for altitude change, i can see that the yardage in the upper right corner will have a +7yds on it, does my shot marker already have that accounted for?

Someone will correct me if I am wrong. Wind 10 mph dead in your face add 15 yards. Wind 10 mph with you deduct 5 yards. The problem in this game is trying to factor in quartering winds. In the older games this wouldn't have much effect but in this game the effect of quartering winds have been magnified quite a bit.

quartering winds?

It sounds like your onto something different than what I'm asking.

I'm just simply asking if there is the scenario of the 10mph wind, is the aiming marker already accounting for that wind effect or do I need to club up/down accordingly.....

That depends on your difficulty settings. I think there is a setting that automatically sets up your shot, taking wind and lie into consideration. I'm not sure what it's called, but the descriptions in the settings menu should explain it.

Yes quartering winds. Think of a clock face. The wind can basically come from eight directions. 12 1:30 3 4:30 6 7:30 9 10:30. Mt. Arlington answered your question. Game can be played any way you want but the putting meter should be off and you should have to account for the wind. Otherwise you are basically watching a movie.
