Settings Vote

For the people who have the early release / have played the demo please vote on the poll for the settings. Really want everyone who is interested in the game play on the tour and do not want a settings thing be a reason people do not participate on the tour.. I will have three options:

Full Simulation
Full Tour Pro
Custom

If you do vote custom please say what settings you want to use. Thanks... You can also pick multiple options as well.

Disregard the Tour Pro vote.. Was a mistake.. Thanks for the input already!

I think we should go with simulation base, however turn the green grid on. I'm on the fence about the wind speed and would be ok with either allowing or not.

I am with you there.. If we could see the flag, look at the trees, or be able to throw grass we would not need any of the wind stuff but I voted custom or full sim.. But I personally will play with any settings..

Agreed. I Really Enjoy Simulation But There Has To Be Something Fior The Greens. With Nothing It's Impossible To Read

I would prefer simulation but am fine with any.

Hoping to get more than 20 votes before discussing things with the commish to make things official.

Full simulation. Open to a few minor changes if others need them (basic green grid, would be one of them for example). But I just wanna real life scores / difficulty. And having the feeling that every shot counts, giving you the chance to win the tournament or loose it.

Gonna play the early release tonight, but I dunno. Not having the zooming option doesnt bother me at all! You can do a fly over of the hole and make some quick notes while playing the practice rounds. I was once the caddie for Alvaro Quiros (1 week) and he told me that he didnt use the markers in the course, cause he didnt trust it (and the other info from the club) too much. He was relying n his formal caddie notes for the course and his feelings from the practice rounds. I believe that not having to zoom in would give us this same kinda feeling.

We could talk to the angry owner, maybe he could tag the whole site in order to get more interested people and play with us.

Full simulation afaik

First of all I don't even know why tour pro is in the discussion,I think you meant tournament. And even if its tournament I was averaging -16 per round without even trying at the end of TW 13
2nd in actually surprised of the reaction of so many people here. The biggest complain mood killer around has been the unrealistic scores, and when we finally have something challenging we are trying to dumb it out.
3. It is going to be such a pain to finalize custom settings. If you look at the other thread there is way to many different options people complaining about : grid,swing,wind meter ,arc,not enogh yardage markers,the fading cross hair thing whatever it's called,no zoom in etc. bottom line you are not going to be able to find common ground for everyone.

I agree!

Custom

My current settings

I say full simulation with green grid on no beads. Also add shot zoom and analog strike meter and I'm good to go. The greens are impossible to read stand alone and a fade player shouldn't be forced to play a draw and abversly.

Did mean tournament.. My bad.. Duh...

I can do without shot zoom and wind display and even no green grid at all but I can't play the game with advance shot shape setting it's just too hard to hit those shots and you don't get realistic feedback when you swing diagonal.

Zoom to

Shot zoom will be off in my opinion... Would make things way to easy.. You can not walk up to the location where you want to hit your driver..

I am thinking full simulation with green grid no beams.. Everything else leave as is.. Make everything difficult but you HAVE to have the green grid to help a little with putting. Without the grid your putting blindly... We will figure this out boys!!

Here something that might help you:

Here is one more little dirty secret I will share. What happens in the middle of the swing plane is meaningless. Swing plane and the mishit from it is only figured by the bottom point and the top point. The bottom point is your curve of the ball, and the top point is your push/pull. You can do a figure 8 in the middle for all we care, as long as you hit those 2 points correctly.

If you question why it is this way, well, it's cause real golf is kind of this way. The only things that matter are the angle of attack, and whether or not you square the clubface at impact.

Its pretty simple, it was already stated. Simulation with some form of green grid. Those subtle breaks you literally cannot read just standing on the green. This isn't real golf where I can discern at least SOMETHING when I'm looking at the green. Its not like I can walk around the green either and get looks from different angles. You just stand there and you have to know whats happening on the green and unless its really obvious you really have no idea. To me, thats a problem. The only other way of knowing anything about the greens is just playing the courses over and over and over... and maybe thats how some people feel we should go.... but for me, unless I'm missing something, without enough information to read the green it makes it more frustrating to play the game than it is fun.

Think about it for a sec.... how much are you really plugged in and trying to score once you've had a couple of those triple bog's because you like 4 putted? If I have one of those, I pretty much give up. I'd be better off starting the entire round over because the rest of it, I'm not really applying myself I'm just going through the motions. I love the idea of not needing a green grid or anything at all but IMO, as the game currently stands, there just isnt a way to get enough information out of the game to even make an educated guess. At times... it literally looks dead straight to me and the putt will break two cups one way or another. IMO, thats just not fun. We're already not going to be sticking a whole lot of shots next to the hole so we've gotta make a lot of 20 footers.

I can't believe ill have to wait for another 3-4 weeks to play this lol.
Btw krtgolfing and Dub-ya my girlfriend plays TW under my account from time to time (ill take the xps thanks ,so disregard any scores that might be posted under my account until I go back.

Ok i got that but here's a question for you. How do you hit a straight shot with that setting on? Not every shot in golf is a fade or draw(unless you're Bubba Watson).

Alright man.. Thanks for the heads up.. I would def be like.. Thought he was out of town or something haha!! Downloading the early release now. So hopefully I will have more input shortly.

I disagree. I really, really enjoy the advanced swing mechanic and having to play either a draw or slice.

Check out SloanerTW video on simulation. It will help you with playing w/o a grid

Yeah, the grid (the one that shows the breaks) its the only thing that I could say that we could need.

Helpful yes. I agree. As long as we allow people enough time to do this during their rounds, then I'm fine with it.

I didn't realize this when I was playing without the grid. I wish there was something easier than just moving that little indicator all over the green but if I at least have SOME SORT OF INFORMATION to make decisions on. I'm happy.

I still think the grid is the way to go but thanks for the tip Vlad.

As I stated I haven't played the game yet,but from what I heard most of the shots you are moving the ball 5-10 yards which is not bad if we are talking in terms of comparing to real life golf.

I know swinging diagonally has been frustrating for you and I'm sure ill have my moments too. However I do also know that if we go to the old 12-6 swing ill be dropping 12-15 under rounds within 2 weeks of getting the game.
