Kraft Nabisco Championship @ Mission Hills

-10 is leading the way.......awesome....brilliant.....

Screw this game...

My post was filled with sarcasm. What is frustrating to me, is I can go that low, but I'm just as likely the next round to shoot poorly. I say well done to those guys consistently shooting 7,8,9,10 under.....

I play default Sim in offline career so my opinion about the settings is harder the better. Visible strikemeter probably favors power golfers like me. We miss fairways more often and fading strike meter really punishes when ball is in bad lie in rough or bunker.

Arrow only wind is fine too. I know what type of wind is blowing and by looking at trees and grass it's not too difficult to see how hard the wind is blowing...

Putting with grid is too easy, especially when the green is flat or almost flat. The most important info which is the up/down slope is visible without the grid so I don't mind if grid is off...

But I totally understand if these aids are on, game shouldn't be annoying for anyone...

I completely enjoy this game, love it, best Tiger yet. I play full sim offline. I just can't find the consistency that a lot of guys have. I can shoot low, and feel GREAT when I do, but I can easily turn right around and shoot poorly.

I shot a -21 for the tourney. Had to get it in early this week. The flat stick just isn't working for me lately. Coulda shoulda woulda though, my 4th round went -9 with 2 bogeys and 2 easy birdie misses. Good luck to the rest of ya.

Needless to say after being -4 through 7 holes and having to restart the round - thanks PSN. Angry is not the best way to play Tiger Woods.

DQ'd again midway through round 2.... glorious PSN network. I didn't want to complete a tournament anyway.

Vlad - Any chance we can increase the number of submissions??

My first two rounds I did well but imploded in round 3 and 4.

More submissions = people restarting rounds after a bad tee shot. I didn't get that part "I didn't want to complete a tournament anyway."

Sorry to hear about your problems, so far I haven't had any problems.

I like that part of the game. Wish some of the others guys could have that same "problem", I'd make things more interesting!

Imo.. The grid could prolly go reading the green isn't too difficult without it. But the strike meter is another thing it shouldn't fade away its hard enough hitting straight with the diagonal swing but then holding your right finger perfectly is pretty tough which should be penalty enough for hitting in the rough.to me going to the fade analog would help people who use a kinnect to golf because when using a kinnect you never have to mess with the strike meter. Doe's anyone use one? If so then I think the strike meter should never go to the fade analog setting. It's already a huge advantage for kinnect players automatically having the strike meter perfect every time.

No one uses Kinect for the tournament, its blocked and against the rules. IMO I think it should be blocked, maybe after a couple of tournaments. The game is difficult but even if the marker is fading away, if actually practice with it and "learn" how it works, it shouldn't be impossible to hit it well / ok often / most of the time. Everything will get easier with time, all it takes is practice.

Okay good. Then yeah I can see doing it. I've came a long way since shooting my +22s in two weeks. So yeah you couldn't be more right ConiglioSG everything doe's get better with practice

Yeah, I have noticed some guys lowered their scores a lot

I just shot a minus five in the first round feeling pretty good for myself and then -10 haha!!

I agree with this. I'm already cringing for the one extra. Dunno maybe I was lucky but I've never had a single freeze in all the years I've played TW. I've had some disconnects but you can connect during or after the round now.

I know there has been freezing issues,but if the problem is persistent more tries/submissions won't fix anything imo.

Btw there is a discussion about this on the EA Forums and its entirely possible this has nothing to do with TW

That line was sarcasm, poorly conveyed without any tone through text. It's a British thing.

Fair enough. Any chance that I can be spotted by someone for round 2,3 and 4? I appreciate that may start a precedent that you don't want to go down.

Just extremely frustrating. This last 2 issues have been PSN maintenance & a problem where Sony 'Some users are experiencing problems' Urgh.

I think theres an overall problem with servers in general. XBL has been kinda shitty during the last few weeks! Madden servers (EA) were down a few times, etc etc. Btw, I understand what you mean (sarcasm) I use it a lot too .

I don't offer you to play the round right now cause you are n the dark side (ps3)

Hello all,

I have improved a lot since I last played. I played my first two rounds already and the goal was to be +10 or lower each round. I shot a +8 in the second round which is the best I ever played in playing tiger woods golf on the tour ever. I was -1 through 4 holes and then the wheels came off. I realized I can't hit draws every time and better start hitting some fade shots too.
I am having a lot of fun and my pro is up in the 40's for his skill attributes. I wanted to thank the guys that run the tour you are doing a fantastic job and for the guys that were talking to me in there first rounds at Torrey Pines. It helped my game a lot.
I still have to work on my putting even at 7 feet those left to right putts kill me. I would rather be below the hole putting uphill then downhill for sure too.

Take care and good luck to everyone this week and looking forward to playing my final two rounds and hopefully no freezing in the game either would be nice.

Ill spot you a round or two... Just let me know when??

I believe the settings we have currently keep it fun for those who don't shoot -10 every time. In the long run, I think the handicap system will even things out.

What about those who are shooting -10 every round? Don't know for most of them,but I feel like I'm wasting my time dumbing down the game.

Having the wind read the exact mph is a big help too. Without that aid, a lot of the leading scores will come down for sure. I think if you went full simulation mode, most people would be able to get used to it, but we wouldn't be seeing as low of scores for the leaders. At least not consistently.

It should be 1 submission max. Aint that I don't trust people in here, I just don in general . Its easy to play your rounds with someone else if you get disconnected (even though you can finish it if that happens). I am always online and available to help someone out with that. Except Tuesdays and Thursdays!

I know we already went through a month of discussion about the wind and the disappearing strike meter. I understand the people that are frustrated especially trying to play with the disappearing strike meter. However, I think what Tandor says above is absolutely correct. I know Vlad has said the same thing before as well. These aids help the better players more than average players for the reasons stated above. Anyway, not worth opening the wound, but I agree with this^^^ so i thought I'd comment.
