Did not like last years but I love the demo for this one.

Apparently the 70 dollar version has 5 more courses.  Plus if you pre order from gamestop you get an additional course.  Not sure if the courses are any good however.

I play 2011 all the time with my friend. We've been waiting for this, should be fun.

Actually my stats have been dropping continuously cause we keep playing drunk so I'm waiting for this to come out so I can start over.

Don't know about the new shooting style. Focus?

That was always my strong suit for some reason. With the paid clubs/balls/clothes/whatever I can usually keep it at 12. My short game hovers somewhere close to about 7 sadly.

I always max out putting XP whenever I can.  This year is interesting with the caddie reads.

Well 2011 was different. You couldn't just continuously add XP to a certain area. Your level in each area just got better if you did well and vice versa. So if you had a shitty 18 then your level (depending on what you did shittily in - i.e. driving, short game, putting, etc.) would drop and it would be slightly harder the next time you played. If you did well, your stats would rise and the next round you could hit slightly farther, had a slightly smaller standard deviation for each club, etc.

Wasn't particularly impressed with the gameplay. The caddy addition is cool, but can get quite annoying. Not much has changed in my opinion. They need an entirely new formula.

am I right in believing you can't view where your ball is going to land now and decide on the best club + shot style? You just have to trust what the caddy says. Either that or play close attention to the fly-over and hope for the best?

so I ask the caddie, he says hit 98 percent in a straight line and it'll end up in the fairway...
I hit 98 percent in a straight line and it goes way left or right into the rough...

I ask him about some chip shot onto the green and I do what he says and it goes way short into the bunker...

this game confooses me. Maybe i just need to to get better but in past games if you did what it asked it went roughly where you wanted it.

Take into account the wind, if any?


First time I've bought a golf game for the console, and I must say I am really enjoying it.  Still trying to get the feel of the swing, ie trying to swing at a certain power, and my putting isn't all that good. But I did make a 30 footer the other day lol

Naw i've got better now. I'm not sure I guess I was just confused with the caddy and his recommendations. I wish there was an option to delete him altogether. There's something satisfying about doing everything yourself without first having him give suggestions.

And yeah putting is WAY WAY WAY less forgiving than before. I hit a 7 under the other day on Royal Melbourne and I was elated. A couple of 3 puts though.

Wouldn't mind a golf game if it actually came with a club, photo-realistic graphics and a giant tv screen.
