Got any data for that?
It's possible that HB might have data showing otherwise for their particular user base.

I doubt anyone bought a console that cost over £300 just to play one game Buck, nearly all the AAA titles require xbox live/psn+

over 48 million people use xbox live gold (the paid version).

no I don't have any data on that but anyone that wants to play online needs a subscription but you wouldn't need one if you were playing career or ghost balls so its not as if everyone would be forced into a subscription,only the ones that wanted to play online

My son plays all of his xbox games online.  He recently watched the Rocket League world finals where, at times, upwards of 50,000 people were watching.  So yeah, crap tons of people pay for xbox live.

I forget - how does TGC 1 do multiplayer?
Can you play head to head online right now?
As I recall you could do that, there was a touch of delay though, that accurate?

All I was saying is that it's possible that HB has looked at some numbers of their own that we aren't privy to and decided the investment is not worth any potential return of a lobby system specifically.
 
Or maybe it's truly just against their vision.
 
I'm cool with either reason honestly.  
I don't even use the lobby right now other than to directly connect to someone (lobby not really needed for that).

Also, they were on to something with the ghost ball thing.
It'd be a great feature for PG

(needs to be WAY better and more seamless than the super clunky recorded round thing)

Please no ghost balls...holds no appeal for me, just concentrate efforts into a good career mode.

MP in TGC is a complete disaster, H2H does not work, it grinds to a halt after a few holes and if by miracle you make it to 9 holes you rarely see the actual shot of your opponent, just some other random result that kills the immersion.

Are your desires above mine or someone elses?

stroke play works fine generally,4 ball is where it disconnects

I think it's pretty possible they just think that real time multiplayer caps out at 2 people as a "good experience that most people want" in terms of time invested for a single round and that ghost balls provide the competition against a larger field with the added benefit of time shifting when you play.

I don't think they're wrong. It's just a different vision.

tbf to them they've always said since the early stages of tgc 1 that their game will never be that deep online with regards to lobbies and rankings but lots of people want it so its a shame really

I love the ghost ball feature in TGC. It works very well with minimum effort.

The only live multiplayer that I play in TGC Is stroke play with animation off. There is a 1-2 second delay that is tolerable for me.

With all that being said, I truly hope that HBS concentrates their efforts on improving the live multiplayer for those that enjoy that type of game play. :)

I can honestly say that i never ever managed to complete 9 holes H2H, the delays were real bad and it always disconnected after a few holes...oh and if you want ghost balls, no probs...just not before a career mode or anything else in the pipeline.

Based upon how recorded rounds have been implemented, I'm a bit skeptical that a robust and well fleshed out (and bug free) career mode will ever be in Perfect Golf.

That sort of programming is very challenging to do correctly.

Andrews vision for a career mode was very encouraging, oc implementing it will no doubt be challenging, but if he does what he suggested it will be fully fleshed and worth the wait.

Yeah - As the business world knows...
Ideas are worth nothing, implementation is basically everything.

So pleased for you and hope you enjoy it.

Agree that a choice of golf games is good, especially new ones. For me, I'll be sticking with JNPG on PC and getting Everybody's Golf on PS4 in August for some proper arcade stick swinging.

As for other golf games, I see Rory PGA is 93% off for PS+ members in the PS Store for another week or so, so now selling for £3.49

IMHO, it's not even worth purchasing at that low price.  ;)
