Game consistency

[golfballwackerguy333]

Seems there is a real lack of consistency in the game, i play true sim and multiple legend societies and ive noticed that the game can be bi polar. by that meaning all of a sudden your tempo is gone, i found that i need to refresh the game then things are back to normal again. anyone else find this frustrating? is it a server problem? something in the game, internet speed? ive streamed several times where i prove there is a problem and i dont just suck. i can be hitting every shot on legend perfect white then out of nowhere get a bad slow that if the game is not refreshed or restarted will not go away. as soon as i refresh and continue its back to perfects but sometimes it only lasts a few holes till it happens again. I wish i knew the technical aspects of this game so i could really figure it out. in closing if you are having tempo issues refresh your game and i guarantee it changes that... here is a video showcasing the problem, am i crazy?

I would take a guess you are using an Official Microsoft controller?.
The game plays like crap with that controller, so many better options out there for PC and there is the Wolverine V2 if you play the game on Xbox.
You will never have any tempo consistency using a Microsoft controller with this game. That 125hz polling rate will give you worse input latency also than most other decent controllers.

Iam using a stock xbox controller yes, but now im wired with a usb A C connection. I dont think its the controller if im being honest i think its the servers for this  game in my area because like i said if i refresh the game when i have issues the tempo is perfect again. I thought tgc tours was supposed to be strictly microsoft official and ps official controllers?

The good old days of using an xbox controller, i remember them well. The wrecker of many a round. It's definitely the controller, i use to turn mine off, throw it against the wall, smack it with a hammer then plug it back in again.
As mentioned above you really need to get the V2, which is absolutely fine with TGC. I think some guys are also using the Gamesir G7, but you would have to check that one as I'm not sure.

An Xbox controller wired does zero for latency issues it is still 125hz wired, the same as bluetooth. If you like the game rounding off your tempo points just stick with it, now if you want consistency and most importantly your own recorded tempo just get a V2, official microsoft controller are crap controllers imo . It is 100% down to the controller, it is useless for this game. Just drop into a few forums it is not just this game, do not use an Xbox controller for competitive play.
This video at 17:10 just shows how inaccurate Xbox controllers are with fast stick movement, need I say more, you can't even draw an accurate circle with an Xbox controller so how is the game supposed to measure fast stick montion accurately.

I seen a vast improvement since wiring in, i can hit perfect after perfect after perfect on legend when not playing online but as soon as i play socity events the consistency is gone. i thought fair play meant everyone using official microsoft and ps controllers?

But your slightly off shots are not accurate. What's the point if you have perfect one minute and really bad the next. I thought your original post was complaining about how inconsistent tempo is in the game. No it's not server etc, I have absolutely zero problems with tempo, if I could hit the stick straight I think I would be pretty decent on the game.
I played a little bit on Xbox and tbh I hit a lot more perfects than PC with the V2 when playing society legend sim, the game plays great with a V2 on Xbox you know. But really I just turn off feedback as I find it annoying, people are obsessed with perfect tempo. Watch my streams, my problems are not tempo it's all push or pulled shots.

I would also say as a PC player the Playstation Dual Sense is way better for this game than any official Xbox controller, so where is the fair play for Xbox or PC users forced to play with a substandard  controller. For the record I tried the Nintendo Pro controller which is every bit as bad with it's awful polling rate of 125hz.

would ethernet connection help, can you tell me more about this polling rate? The top players all use the v2 whts the polling on that vs the stock xbox?

I actually don't know but a Dual Sense and a V2 are very similar latency wise to me, massively more responsive than any Xbox controller I have used. When playing games the most important stat is ping so maybe that might help, my ping is good but I do play over wi fi. And another stat is framerate but if it was about high framerates surely all the top names on the leaderbaords would be on PC.

I will tell you another thing about controllers, the lower latency on a controller and also a mouse means it's input to the console or PC is much more frequent, so it makes sense the more your controller communicates with your console/pc the more accurate your input is. So when you have a fast push of the stick you need a better latency to read your stick input more accurately. Now if these readings are a little bit off the game is gonna round off your tempo whether accurate or not. In a perfect world we would all use the same controller but the Dual Sense and Xbox controllers are so far apart. To me the Dual Sense and V2 are pretty much par for this game and that's why we are seeing cross platform competitiveness at f'ing last.

One final thing I will say is the problems we have with the V2 is not because it is a cheat controller (it's no different from the Dual Sense for this game) but because the stock controller is so bad for this game so it can ruin XBox only society play and I understand that. JROC I follow your scores on TAN as I am the one doing the leaderboards and my advice because we are cross platform is get a  V2. I want as even playing filed as we can get, just save your stock controller for the Xbox only societies.

thanks for all the info, im hoping a wired internet connection will provide the stability to have consistency with my stock controller as i know i can compete with anyone when the game or connection is not working against me, if not i guess i will need to get a razor and see the real difference. i dont see guys like hendo etc hitting alot of white perfects with the razor its either slight fast or slow and i think that would bug me to not see that white perfect when i hit a good shot. i 100% think servers play a part because when the game seems to play good thats when the guys on the other side of the world are not on or when the servers are not overloaded,i noticed that when there is zero consistency the wifi loading thing on bottom of screen is always flashing.

I got to the point that with feedback on I was worrying way too much about swing lines to the point it was really bugging me.
Turning shot feedback off I get the only feedback I need and that is from the ball flight. I know instantaneously if there is a slow of fast tempo or a push or pulled swing line.
Also as I only play legend sim to me perfects and swing line info takes away from that SIM experience, I couldn't tell you if I hit a perfect or a slightly off perfect and to be honest I don't care. 
I am actually striking the ball well at the moment, my round 2 at Sawgrass on TAN with zero bogeys was very solid golf.
