DONT BUY AT FULL PRICE Got this one sale for roughly 500THB (20USD) iirc. DONT BUY AT FULL PRICE Overall a good golf game mechanically. Easy to learn with some arcade mechanics, the list of things you can try to pull off with spin application is endless. Although the game doesn't get any more content updates, progressing through all the challenges and grinding out the season pass still gives you all the upgrades you'd need. DONT BUY AT FULL PRICE Typical of an EA game, there has to be something thats jank right? Well here it is... The menu interface and UI in general is terrible. Unresponsive and often glitchy, it will also stop working randomly some times. This is probably the worst UI I've ever experienced in a game. DONT BUY AT FULL PRICE Pros - Good swing mechanics, can adjust forgiveness for your skill level (3-click also works very well, much more predictable) - Beautiful courses - Wind interaction seems consistent (much more so with 3-click than stick) - Spin application is arcade-y as hell but fun to apply DONT BUY AT FULL PRICE Cons - Poorly optimized (5600X, 2070S, 16GB RAM) 1440p and 1080p (both on low; 1440p avg. 50fps, 1080p avg. 80fps) - The game will sometimes change where your ball is depending on the lie that you landed on, even though it would've been a perfectly playable ball - Play-offs do not work. I have to quit out the round and restart it every single time it happens DONT BUY AT FULL PRICE Some of the criticisms of this game are legit. The UI sucks, its terribly optimized, and the progression is extremely slow and frustrating. A lot of the gameplay gripes can be ignored by switching the the simpler (albeit boring) 3-click mechanic. It takes out all of the variables of the analog swing and leaves only timing and spin application, making it simple and clean experience (if you can get a stable 60+ fps). I'm not sure how the people complaining about aiming in this game are playing, but it definitely sounds like they're 100% relying on the shot path provided by the game, which in my experience, is NOT accurate and is only there as a guide. Golf is a long game of mastery, it is important to learn from your mistakes and not get frustrated when you make them. DONT BUY AT FULL PRICE I recommend playing your first season on 0-30 difficulty, it will help with the fact your character is complete trash in the beginning, so you can win tourney and complete the quest progressions so you can earn perks and coins. DO NOT BUY COSMETICS, theyre useless. Invest in specs for your different clubs. Save your coins for specs. Signature and Legendary specs are the ones to look out for in the shop, and help massively with your initially weak golfer. Learn what you like and dont like from your clubs, the info given in tutorials and the 'help' section is there to help. As your golfer gets more skilled and your club spec become more fleshed out, taking on the Ai at 100 becomes a breeze. Take some time with the game. Give yourself time to improve and actually learn how the game's wind behaves. Wind is supposed to be unpredictable, so you can only do so much to try. Give the game a shot when it's on sale, it is fun to learn, and rewarding to master. When you make your first chip-in fron 100y+, something will click.
