Topic	Everybody's Golf is out today! ( Hot Shots)
MrSmartGuy 09/03/17 8:34:55 PM #38:	https://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/836704-everybodys-golf/75734731 So I was getting really frustrated by my shots zagging all over the god damn place and decided to see if anyone else was having the same problem. Sure enough, it just seems like they added more variance to shots across the board, but especially when you hit perfect impact. So even if you do everything perfectly, there's a chance your shot's not even going to come close to where you wanted it to go. What kind of design choice is this, to punish players who execute everything perfectly? This makes no fucking sense. Let's play a game. Let's play "Guess Which Three Holes Fucked MSG Over for No God Damn Reason" https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/158285888399343617/353376812094455808/20170901_221246.jpg Case in point, hole 5: I use a power shot on my drive so I can get past the bottleneck part of the fairway and set up for a nice, easy 100 yard chip from the fairway for an easy birdie. I hit power and impact perfectly, and then because the developers don't like when people like their series so much that they master it, the shot veers WAY off to the left at 99%, and I end up in a flower bed. I have no idea whether I'm going to hit a flower or not, so I hit my next shot as if it won't. It does, of course, and it falls short and out of bounds. Alright fine, time to hit it at full power a club up. This one doesn't hit a flower and I sail over the green and into the water. Instead of a close-to-guaranteed birdie, this game decided I deserve a +4 for hitting a perfect power shot on my drive. But I post this not just to bitch about the whole thing (granted, that's the main reason). Apparently, putting backspin on a swing adds another layer to the variance that your shot can have. I hit probably 80% of all my shots with backspin, including drives, so if you are in the habit of doing the same thing, I suggest trying to get out of that habit as soon as you can. There may also be a thing where you need to hold your controller perfectly flat and still while in a swing, but that may be just a placebo type of deal. I've yet to test it, so I'll see if that appears to change anything. --- Xbox GT/PSN name/Nintendo ID: TatteredUniform http://www.scuffletown.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/tRBE1.gif <cite>MrSmartGuy posted [p:885970489] in Everybody'...
