What about wind speed and direction because there isn't any option for that? You can’t control the defaults as they are decided server-side. If there’s a prevailing wind, mention it in your notes, but the course should be playable in all directions (although it doesn’t absolutely need to be good in high-very high winds). Ben, has anyone ever said if the server-side winds themselves have any 'prevailing tendencies' that could be useful to know when laying courses out ? Is it truly equally distributed across all 8 compass points ? |

Is it truly equally distributed across all 8 compass points ? Good question. Never really been sure, but there are some themes that seem to default to higher wind speeds than others. Off the top of my head, definitely Highlands and Tropical and I think Boreal has been quite high before. P.S. None of this is scientific, just observations from someone who doesn't really play all that much! |

To my knowledge, no one has ever pointed out any tendencies with respect to wind direction. But that could be just because no one has ever bothered to pay much attention.
As Ben said, some themes tend to have a higher wind speed than others.

Thanks, guys. Yeah, I considered starting a log of directions, see if one trended. If so, wouldn't be too hard for us to orient our designs around, in the hopes of simulating 'local' conditions, but I don't play enough, either.

I thought I'd update this for 2K23 using Default balls and I believe no adjustments from skills, etc.
Very Slow - 104 - 4.9 in designer
Slow - 117 - 5.8 in designer
Moderate - 134 - 7.3 in designer
Fast - 155 - 10.7 in designer
Very Fast - 186 - 14.6 in designer
It doesn’t appear to be linear based on the top end of the scale.
Probably best to pick speeds in between these for Default to give schedulers options.
