My wish list (Xbox user, most time spent designing, casual player)
Overall
- New Graphics engine (EA is so much more attractive)
- Fix Xbox controllers and swing timing (I turned off timing it is so bad)
- Better tour mode, closer to what EA does.
- Fix water hazards and drops
Designer
- Turn off auto flatten (or make it a feature to turn on/off)
- Add an 'elevation change' meter upon plot creation that will create larger peaks and valleys (or rolling hills)
- Add an 'intermediate' rough, something between heavy and light
- Add a 'combo surface' that allows two surfaces to be meshed together (think Pinehurst bunker/pine needles combo)
- Pot bunkers/ stacked sod
- Different types of retaining walls (stone, brick etc...) and make them less of a headache to use lol
- Tall driving range fence/net
- Vertical planks
- Different shades of blue for water
- More warn/weathered looking surfaces with imperfections/blemishes (they did end up adding a few which was nice)
- More brown bunker textures (why is it so hard to include a dark brown texture?)
- More tan/brown rough surfaces (only two currently)
- Stop sinking the middle of bunkers (or make it a feature to turn on/off). Flat bottom bunkers would be much less time consuming that way.
- Add a 'waste bunker' surface and allow both manicured and waste bunkers on the same course. I've used the cleared heavy rough for this which is ok but not ideal
- More themes
- More realistic fans
- Better long grass rendering
- When you turn long grass meter up to 100%, actually fill up close to 100% of the plot with long grass versus what it does today leaving the majority still uncovered
- Somehow allow you to lay down a road with moving cars
- Train tracks with moving train
I'm sure I'll think of more...
