Hi guys, new over here and excited about what I see so far.  I have been Sim golfing since the Links days and am now trudging along in the "what is the point" world of WGT Tour Legend.

 

My main question for the community here has to do with the vision for gameplay here at PP.  Meaning is this going to be a simulation golf program or an arcade game or some geniusly concocted combination of both?

 

 

 

I was in the initial beta for TWO along with a fellow longtime sim golfer but after 2 eagles in my first 9 holes never even considered trying it out again.

 

 

 

I really liked how WGT started out.  I think the cut line for the first WGT US Open was -2, or -3.  Really liked the challenge of getting under par.  After the introduction of balls and clubs the game went straight downhill imo, with unrealistic scores and having to play bullseye golf to compete. 

 

 

 

I really hope that PP can blend the flexibility of Links, the initial challenge of WGT and the regularly updated simulation of something like iRacing and come up with something that can withstand the test of time.

 

 

Very curious to see the perspective of those who have been following the development of this program longer than I.

 

-Mike

I think the initial impression is that it will be a combination of all the things you want which is a good thing. What I am really hoping for is that US Open challenge but not by just by making the gameplay hard but making the conditions hard. We shall see

Mike, good to have you here... the more the merrier and the better the return for the guys developing when it eventually goes live.

 

As for your Q.. I'd suggest reading some existing threads.. these two would be recommended ;

I have been Sim golfing since the Links days.... 

 

These still are the Links days for me!!  :lol: 

With the 1.07 patch and Hi-res courses, Links is better than ever.
