The new information displays are nice. The driving and putting are nice. I find the ball in flight looks like a humming bird going up and down and floating before ball lands. But when it lands, the ball seems to drop abruptly.
I would have to say at this point that the only game-play change that impresed me is the Putting. It's tougher and that's a good thing. Everthing else makes this game IMHO seem way off kilter after adapting it to U5.
I think if it stays this way we will see more players asking for the version before U5 but include the putting change and a few of the information menus/displays.
Edit: I forgot to mention that at Ultra High the graphics seem a bit lighter and crisper. That's a plus.
I agree on the ball tracer or follow look . The ball almost seemed to stutter and bob up and down through the air and I found it so unrealistic that I turned it off as it was so bad. Chips seem to run out way too much but it may not being use to it. Still though for using a high lofted club unless you fully lofted it ran out far far too much.
Found the lag it bit more too and no while I don't have a gaming pc It's not gerbals running it either. Running i7 3.5 Ghz and 8 gigs ram with a Radeon HD 7700 card and while I plan in the future to bump up the Ram to 16 gigs and possibly a bigger card it certainly isn't going to happen this year so I hope the lag can be tamed down a bit. Playing on min min it was extremely hard to get close to the snap at times and may have to go to mod mod because of it.
