Yeah, the fun for me is trying to achieve total perfection with every shot. My mind doesn't know how to process "casual". But, that's why this game is so appealing, because we all get to play it the way we like it! I can't wait to start dissecting and charting the new game. It's like a little piece of heaven! I know I'll try every club from a dead flat surface to a dead flat surface to see how far they go with good tempo, then with max loft only, half loft only, then max loft plus max club angle, then half loft plus half club angle, then max loft plus half club angle, then half loft plus max club angle, then no loft with half club angle, then no loft with max club angle, oh and first I have to pick the clubs I like best. Good God how big is a chart for that going to be? I suppose I will have to try the 96% thing too to see just what it does. Hopefully it is very difficult to do with advantage, impossible, ideally. Putting looks to me very similar but I say this never having tried it. I probably won't use the meter or rumble at all for that. Probably try 100 drives on the range, trying to get what the game says is perfect downswing tempo, before doing the swing calibration. It would be great if my normal swing tempo just so happens to coincide with the games perfect tempo - we can but dream. I'm sure I've missed something! Ideally I don't want to use the power meter at all, possibly just the rumble ( for shots other than putting ) I don't want to be concentrating on looking at a bar when taking any shot. Also we don't yet know which difficulty/difficulties will be used on the tours. I'm betting on master from what I've seen but I'm going to try and practice with legend. Then there is the question - what difficulty to use to test all this? Probably the easiest, to get consistently good tempo, but will that fully translate to more difficult settings? And will I still be able to fit work in around all this!! I'm starting to think that Boffo has the right idea ๐ Sounds like you'll appreciate the month or two delay for everything to get switched over to 2K21 before we get started again.

I'm working more than ever due to coronavirus so it's not going to be that simple to find the time.

96% is less relevant now, since we can execute the backswing as sllllooooowwwwly as we want, but time will tell! And as I mentioned somewhere else, the shorter your backswing stroke, the straighter you can hit a shot due to less cone deviation as a whole. So speaking for myself, given the above, that means swing plane and distance control will be unimportant, thus focusing attributes with Distance, Spin, and Tempo! True touch in conjunction with turning off tempo will make mapping out clubs even quicker so that's a plus! From my experience just having rumble enabled, regardless if its buzzing or not has an adverse effect on input lag (all buttons and sticks)!!, therefore I wont be using it, ever. Tempo appears to be more challenging as it is. No need to make it even harder. Remember that HB_Craig has said playing without setting intent/power bar was never how HB envisioned or intended users to play. In essence, setting intent in conjunction with the power bar "times" it so that your tempo will match and align for every shot. If you forgo the aforementioned then every partial you attempt to hit, at every single % will have it's own, unique tempo. Basically you'll have to learn 80 completely different shot ^. So I say, 100%, YES!, use the power bar/intent, however, stay away from the rumble!! I don't see TGCTs using Legend on any tour. It's just not gonna happen. After you use my Master Plan to XP up I'd practice Master if you plan on playing in the top 3 tours, and Pro if you plan on playing in the CCs. That's my best guess anyways. I think the slow and short backswing could ( and probably should ) be considered an exploit and picked up by the api. I would have liked rumble/feedback on impact of club and ball.

Doubtful. That's how I've always putted for every TGCT official round in 2019. Besides, according HB_Shaun, everything is working as intended.
HB_ShaunW:
"The speed of the putter drawn back is based on the distance you pull back on the stick, within reason. Too slow and it will reset on you, but you can pull back quite a bit slower for the shorter putts. That short swing is taken into account with your swing plane and it can make it more difficult to execute a straight line."
Of course, he's literally 100% backwards in reference to the accuracy. In TGC 2019 I putt with a very slow, short stick movement to increase accuracy so I was very pleased to hear this swing mechanic will now be available in 2K21 non putt shots as well. Moving the stick 1-2mm will always be more precise than moving the stick 10mm. Here's a couple of links of me using the technique.
1) On the practice range comparing full putt strokes (I usually hit straighter full's fwiw!) vs slow and short:
2) On the course sinking putts. In 2019 the putting stroke has tempo as well (100% confirmed by side by side testing), and it's most noticeable on very slow, short strokes. So the following video shows that even if tempo is involved, which it will be in 2K21 full shots (not sure about tempo on 2K21 putts), that it's a great way to improve your accuracy:

Yes, it's not the putting that might attract the api, I meant shots like drives and approaches, if it's possible to play these short and slow.
I like the putting in the present game, hopefully it doesn't feel too different in the new one, as I want to continue putting as I do, without a meter or rumble.( Or short/slow swings )

I'll let you know in a few weeks lol^. I will say though, although it might not appear to be the case, in both videos above, every putt stroke that I executed had the R stick FIRMLY striking the very end and top portion within the controller.
