I ranted a lot in Discord a little bit ago about some of the changes. I added punctuation so it isn't quite as unbearable to read.

I spent like 2 1/2 hours playing it last night and just now got past being stuck playing the same 9 holes over and over again.

Also, leveling up is really weird. You have 4 stats for every club, and they all level up differently, so if you by chance use your 5 iron way more than your 4 iron, you may end up being able to hit the ball further with the 5 iron, because it leveled up more.

In which case, when would you ever use your 4 iron anymore, so then you end up with a huge distance discrepancy between your 3 iron and 5 iron because you neglected your 4 iron, which is absolutely ridiculous when you think about it.

"I'm really good with my 3 iron and 5 iron, but I'm just garbage with my 4 iron"

who would say something like this

and so like, a lot of the course's holes are longer than you can really tackle, because your starting driving distance is only 180 yards, so you use your 3W on pretty much every par 4 and sometimes twice on par 5's, and you're not gonna use your 5W when you can get 15 more yards, so there's gonna end up being like a 20-25 yard difference by the time my overall power gets high enough I don't have to rely on my 3W anymore.

which is offputting

Did you drive around the course in a golf cart and go fishing

MrSmartGuy - Today at 9:49 AM
No, because i didn't unlock the god damn golf cart.

I was just trying to get through the 1-player mode as quickly as I could so I could unlock it and that has no free roam whatsoever.

Oh, another change is that putting now has an impact timing, which makes sense, I guess.

But it takes like 5 seconds for the cursor to come back around for a 2 foot putt, because you double tap X to just make a tiny putt, but then you have to wait for it to go up to full power and then come back.

Okay, that would annoy me

MrSmartGuy - Today at 9:56 AM
This probably just affects me, but you get to pick where on the tee box you want to tee off from for every hole.

Except when a hole starts, I'm always holding up+triangle to get a better look at where i'm hitting, so now I'm just sitting there waiting to place the ball before I realize the camera isn't moving.

That's just something I have to get used to.

You have to place the ball before you can zoom to the target zone?

MrSmartGuy - Today at 9:59 AM
Yeah, there's a par 5 on the first course where you can drive it into another hole's fairway to get a better shot at the green in 2
but you have to maneuver a few tree trunks. Depending on the wind, you need to place the ball in different places to get through them, but you can't replace it, at least that I found.
I dunno, maybe there's a way, I didn't try any buttons.


tl;dr I'm really enjoying it so far.
