    Pretty sure they said courses can be shared across ALL platforms which is freaking amazing if they pull it off.

        How about a FedEx Cup finish to each season to fill in those last two weeks of the year?
        Like... say 20 event weeks and then 2 or 3 FedEx Cup style events? and then we get a 2 or 3 week "offseason"

          I like the idea of a playoff. After the first 20 weeks the standings could reset and the top 10 or 15 could play 4 weeks of playoff tournaments. The tournaments could still be open to everyone but only the playoff participators would be playing for points.

                    HBS is still saying that not only will courses be shareable across platforms, but that cross-platform play is still possible. From what I'm gathering, this is possible because the platforms and their associated networks aren't really connected to each other in real time. XBox Live, PSN, and PCs are in effect being buffered by HBS servers, where all of the course and player telemetry data is stored. The individual networks then take that buffered data as needed in a "delayed" state. It might only be a 1/2 to a full second, but it's not synched real time. Since it's golf, it doesn't have to be real time. You're not having to react to your opponents actions in real time.

                    The limitations they are going to face in real time is voice communications. I've learned that cross-platform voice chat will not be possible because the XB1 and PS4 have their own proprietary VoIP (voice over Internet Protocol) libraries and they would not be compatible with anything else. I suspect that because of the inherent delay buffering that is part of this design, there will be delays between what you hear and what you see even with players on the same platform. For example, you'll probably hear your playing companion voice their dissatisfaction over a shot a second or two before you actually see the tracer of their shot depict it.

                    I really don't have a problem with what little bit of delays there will be associated with this, as I don't see a short delay as hindering the experience. I could change my mind once I get to play it with everything in place. I do know that right now in the beta, I can't see what's happening with the "Live" players I'm trying to play along with in the PC version. All I know is that they're on the same course I'm on live, but I never see their shot tracers, nor does the status screen on the HUD show them on anything other than the hole at which they were on when you joined the game.

                    Ironically, you can call up their scorecard and it will show their up to date hole and scoring total. It's been reported in the beta board so HBS knows this is going on. In fact it happened with me and one of the devs as we were trying to play a live match, and he saw the same thing on his end as I saw on mine.

                      Damn. Great to hear about cross platform play. THAT WOULD BE HUGE. Gives an amazing player pool as well.

                      I wish this game would just come out!

                      As for delays and chat, I can manage without if cross platform play is achieved.

                        As long as the cross platform ends up working out I'd play.

                          Since I posted in other club and impressions, I will post here...

                          Since this looks to be fully cross platform play, just a thought:

                          Whatever country club we do, TOUR, tournament, whatever...

                          We need to have aids OFF as much as possible BUT at the same time:

                          If guys can only play on LOW settings, they will be disadvantaged at reading greens while my 1920x1080 resolution would allow better shading and breaks.

                          Since this is cross platform, consoles won't have to worry, but I would advise posting a warning for lower resolution players.

                          With the aids on, I think we will see -18 scoring, people will always figure out how much break it is cause of the arrows going slow or fast, without it, much more challenge and practice required.

                          Just a thought to make things more fun and maybe have casual tourneys with aids on or something.

                            I agree that we should limit the aids. Do you know if they can be turned off by the tournament creator?

                                Pretty sure they said you can turn off whatever you want in tour and tournaments. I think they are trying to figure out leaderboards for those that use the aids so they don't have an advantage.
