golf on new gen (xbox one)


Recommended Posts

Is it just me turning into tiger woods or does eveyone else who likes a bit of golf think its MILES harder on new gen , I used to average 8/9 under every round on 360 but I'm lucky if I hit -4 now , it's those sodding trees used to go right through them before now if you even brush a leaf your screwed

Lol yeah i know what you are talking about. I have a record of 46-15 and gotten tons of birdies, an eagle, hole in one, you name it and played golf on both 360 & ps4 and its definitely more difficult for sure.

 

The trees are fuller in the current gen, the wind is stronger, and you really have to put spin on the ball especially when dealing with heavy wind direction to avoid trees, the sandpit, and the rough.

 

But once you figure it out and work on using the wind to your advantage, it should be a breeze. The only hole i struggle with is hole 3, can never birdie that b*stard lol.

 

@Randall Yeah i hate that too, thats why i only golf with friends nowadays because 9 times out of 10 randoms will quit out on you because they can't handle defeat.

Yep - it's all about the new tree models. Used to be that the actual leaves were 'intangible', and so the ball would pass straight through 'em - now, everything's properly modeled (and the environmental physics have a more noticeable effect on the ball - likewise, things like plants actually sway in the breeze), so they deflect the ball like solid objects should.

It's simultaneously 'cool attention to detail' and 'a royal pain in the ass', but I just see it as an excuse to get my game together! After all, I wouldn't thwack a ball into a tree in real life and hope for the best, so prolly not the best tactic in-game, either... ;)

Can only use wind if its going right way though and some holes are impossible if that's the case

I haven't tried yet on new gen. I really liked golf but I got too frustrated with how every time if I'd be up by more than 2 strokes everybody else would quit. I'll have to try it out later. I'm on ps4

id play fair. I haven't played on new gen either but I used to golf all the time for awhile.
