    Re: The Golf Club Early Access Available Now on Steam For $29.99 - Post Your Impressi

    Putting seems great to me. Once you figure out how to judge distance control it's not too difficult at all. Make sure you adjust the distance/aiming marker before each putt depending on whether the putt is uphill or downhill.

    Driving is too easy and pitching is waaaaay too easy. I wish we had to pitch the ball the same way we putt. Judge length of backswing and rhythm to control distance.

    If they took away dial-a-distance for pitches and iron shots, plus mixed in a few more power options than 100% each full swing, the game would start reaching some really rarefied air.

    The course designer is awesome and only going to get better.

      Ok, I like the game, but please give up different putter length options. 105 feet for every putt is ridiculous. Give us a 60ft putter and 105 foot

      edit: After playing more, the putting really needs an overhaul, the % really doesn't mean much. Especially when it's for a 145 ft or 105 ft putter. If I make a 28% swing on a 105ft putter it should roughly go 28 feet, pending on up slope or down slope. I shouldn't have to use up to more than 60% on either of the putters. It is so inconsistent, if they fix it, this game can be astounding game play wise.

        How much steam will this game lose when EA showcases their golf game at E3?

          Two completely different types of games, IMO. This game has a course creator/customization potential that I don't think any EA sports offering could have. EA's golf game will, however, likely feature PGA and LPGA licenses, and tons of OEM equipment.

          Two different types of offerings that probably both have room in the market depending on what you're looking for in a Golf Game. I personally was really upset at the way EA treated the last TW game, leaving it to be a decent game with a few glaring issues that were never resolved/patched. I like the potential TGC has, and the fact that the developers are a smaller crew, who listen to the community gives me hope.

            It might lose a little but, EA's game will not be out until next March/April so TGC still has plenty of time to find an audience. It would also help if they would release the console version before E3. I could watch EA's announcement and then go and actually play TGC on my PS4.

            Did anyone see GiantBomb video about TGC they posted on Friday, any thoughts?

            Nothing new is learned and the 2 guys playing the game are the types of players I do not want HBS to listen to. Most of the things they complain about are ways they think the HBS should make the game easier.

                I personally don't have much interest in EA's game. It will be just like the old tiger series and will get stale. I can't wait for tours to finally be unlocked in TGC and there are always endless amounts of course to play. If they tune the putting I think this game is potentially the best golf game ever.

                  So there are different "length" putters in this game, like in the old Tiger Woods series on Playstation? Please tell me that isn't the case...

                    well I think the length of the putter is determined by the biggest green on the course. You cannot change what length you have. Problem is, is that the putting is very inconsistent. It's really only the issue in the game.

                      Yes, they were playing the early access version from Steam.

                        I see. I guess that's a little better, but still sort of irritating (in theory...haven't played the game myself). The whole "different length putters" thing on the old Tiger Woods series was a straight-away deal-breaker for me.

                        I sort of understand the reasons for that compromise, but still...if the Links game on the original XBox could get it right on putting, and that game came out forever ago, it seems bizarre to me that 10 years later we still can't get this figured out...

                          Anyone using a Ds4 controller for this? Just grabbed the game last night and can't see me sticking with the mouse if the option is there to use a controller. I just am not sure of the process of getting started, seems kind of daunting.

                          Also what's the best way to find tne courses you guys have created? It'd be nice if there was a sticky with the course names or links if that's possible.

                                I just want the putting %'s to be consistent. Right now medium speed greens, with an inch or two uphill can get you varying results. at 25% one putt it will go 15 ft and 25% on another put it will go 35 ft.
