This game is hilarious. I’m playing the Promo and I had a fast swing on my irons so I set the marker to the right for the pull and of course I get perfects and now I’m too far right or get the slow which keeps me right as well. And edge burner city today. I just can’t figure the breaks on those greens. When I set for more power I edge burn them and when I leave as is I miss low. Frustrating to say the least. But it keeps you thinking……I’m also getting tired of these skill,points. It keeps messing up my gaps…. Far preferred the system in the last game where different clubs had different attributes. This skill/fittings garbage takes up far too much of my limited patience and brain power. Ben I’ve not got the patience for that bullshit either that and the skill points are HB’s attempt at levelling the playing field across the systems is my belief. Basically when you set your skills your getting the game to do stuff for you like improved tempo or swing plane or transition, and fitting clubs to do the similar job is total overkill. I honestly don’t think it works, probably ok for the top guys who’s tempo is pretty consistent but people like me who’s best tempo is wild they don’t help very much. I could use any archetype in reality and get the same results on the course.

Never liked skill points but have none to enhance distance, I think. I was playing the other day and green speed was 158 then one putt I noticed speed was 160. I'm going to have to look at them as do not want that.
In truth I just used them up but seems VC is pretty pointless then I may revisit and start again but not use them all.

I reset all my skill points and had none in use then tried to play some rounds without them just to see what difference they made but there must have been a bug (no way you say 😂) because they were still activating as I played even though I hadn’t used them.

New Season Week 2 Round 3 or You’ll Never Replace Me on Tier 4, Art Vandelay!!!! Finally fell victim to faster greens as all six wheels fell off (if you count the training wheels) I can only apologize profusely to Konsta PaloRd 3: +7 (wtf?) In a most delicious twist of irony, here is what I received for carding +7. Is HB trying to help me out or are they just being dicks? In my hands (and try hard to ignore the sexual overtones of the fitting type, speaking of dicks), +12 power merely puts me deeper into OB territory.

I don't like my distances on clubs changing course to course ex I have a 131 club.. sometimes it tells me its a 140.. leave my sh%$ alone HB.. stupid game I actually hate it.

That sounds like the putting skill 'Greenskeeper' Darren. It activates when you miss 2 Greens in Regulation, giving you a roll boost (increases green speed). It deactivates again when you score par or better once or twice depending on which level you have.
I would steer clear of Greenskeeper and putting skill 'For Dough' Level 3 which gives you an always active roll boost (increased green speed) unless you want to be playing faster green speeds!

I’m hoping I will at least last 6 months and just hope EA do a good job on their game, I don’t care that it might only have twenty courses it’s playability that counts for me and this game is just to flaky

I don’t use anything that gives you extra roll on the greens they are pretty slick on normal.

I'm quite happy for my Driver to have flight and power boosts but if you don't want the carry distance to change during the round then don't use 'Aerodynamics' or 'Tee and Crush it'.
I don't want the carry distance of my irons or wedges changing during the round so I have avoided 'Too Breezy' and 'Blacksmith' on Irons which give you flight/power boosts when active.
And have also avoided 'Double Major' on wedges which gives a power boost when active.

Desperately hoping EA do a proper job. The lack of courses don't bother me as long as they are real. I'm not a massive fan of made up courses. The longer I play this game the less I like the arcady additions. They just mess with everything.

Cheers mate. Thought I'd kept away from all boosts like that but obviously not. Will look tomorrow ta.

Next time i fire up this game i'm dumping my skills too, sometimes i see up to 3 lights turned on and i don't even know what they are supposed to indicate. Could even explain why sometimes the balls seem to carry way further than expected. I think the skill tree is not intended for anyone older than millennials

i guess we also have to remember last year or so we was all playing pro (bar the odd round)
i forget how difficult master was on that game but one of my biggest frustrations with this game is the inconsistency of swings i mean i could hit 2 exact same shots 1 will be a dark grey fast
& next a grey slow
ball rollouts can be rediculous at times & bunkers are still hard for me whether i try splash or flop
one of my biggest flaws is i cant get happy with a controller tried xbox 1 xbox wolverine playstation 5 & mouse never even needed to try that last game
seems the more i play this game the more im wanting to say bye,
am enjoying playing football manager more to be fair at moment

Designer showcase @ Spirits Promise GC
I don't know what the promise is, but certainly a good round for me... Too many greens missed on the wrong side and mostly no par save.
