Looks like fittings have been nerfed, discussion happening in TGC discord. Interesting to see how this plays out. Wouldn’t bother me if they ditched them altogether. Has me baffled 🤣 I can’t decide if they work or not over and above the skills.

Let's go back to the old Master-Pro-Beginner set option!

TBC-CC
Bit disapointed by the last round, that should have been better, I burnt the edges on a few holes, the most frustating one being the 16, where on a short birdie put (like 4 feet) my ball bounced back on the flag to end like 5 cm from the hole.
Nice score, Tom!

Nice course and lots of opportunities, but couldn't really get anything going. Just pars everywhere even when it looked like a simple pitch and putt. Missed the green on 17 down to the right, which spoiled a steady but unspectacular round. I'm blaming it on the update. inflames47Showcase @ NSW: -3

I'm not on the discord and either didn't notice any change or didn't seem to have anything different when I looked in game for a second.
I haven't played since the update (one quick 3 click trial) but it would seem the fittings you randomly get after a round won't have as good as stats as ones previously aquired.
Have seen that nextmakers are discussing it as being a bug.
As it stands at the moments, players who are just starting out will be at a big disadvantage as they won't be able to level their player up to the same as someone who has already grinded and maxed.

inflames47Designer Showcase @ NSW First round after the 1.06 patch. Frist round after last nights travesty and embarrassment to my Dickens Cyder Casuals teammates, my friends, my family and to the game in general. Umm, not sure what happened. This felt like golf again. I'm going to make sure I'm within fair play, gawd I hope so. Onward!

What's a next maker? The grey and greens having the same values (+1 for each "pair" of stats) makes me inclined to believe bug. I'm sure they won't fix the ones that are dropping now, which... whatever. I just wish I'd processed the trades I planned on doing this weekend. I've got just under 90, so I'm fine trading up to purples, but I'm not about to do any 3 for 1s into/with orange til this is sorted out. It's amazing how they can be so silent when stuff happens in this game. I've dealt with other games with PR messes or with the development team, but I feel like this company is actively being awful at this only a month or so after launch.

Next Maker is the term they have for the TGCT associates that had early access to the game.

For the moment, I'd hang fire on upgrading the oranges until more info comes out.
I appreciate bugs in programming, but for the amount of issues makes me think 2k have only one apprentice sat in a room working on the game. Everything that has been worked on since release could/should have been worked on, tested and worked on again before hitting the shelves. It really isnt rocket science yet all disappointing.

All they had to do was make a fun golf game. The tuning of the difficulty levels was fine by me as a step up from 2K21. But they had to mess around with all this skills/fittings bollocks over complicating matters. I was fine with the last version where you spent your VC on clubs which had different attributes. I don’t give a monkeys which manufacturers clubs I have now because it really doesn’t matter. I’m a right whingebag but I proper don’t like what they’ve done. And they can’t even implement it properly. I desperately hope EA get things right.

Fittings I don't mind as much, it does keep it interesting on what you want to level up etc. The perk tree thingy I think was too far though. I don't want to have a can of spinach mid round to increase my power. If the fitting bug was intentional then I can only see them nerfing people's current bag/stock of fittings. It would be the fair thing to do but highly annoying. It would pretty much disregard all the early grinding and result in having to relearn/do you bag setup again. Very keen to see what EA provide but feel without a competitive designer, the game will become stale quickly. I also have nightmares about applying spin in mid air. Was fun as a kid but not for me now. I feel a Ranty Saturday Sean has awoken today.

After two swings on the 3C tour I decided no thanks.
Onward!
