is anyone else finding a great deal of inconsistencies from game to game? not the jumpy slider thing (something to do with android devices apparently), but things like clubs hitting 20% further than they're supposed after allowing for wind and heights (and losing balls etc) or having a tail wind and the ball falls short by a long way, or 10mph winds moving the ball more than 20 mph winds, or hitting the ball straight (ie, 'excellent') with little to no wind and it still goes crooked, etc etc, blah, blah, blah...
and then other games nothing can go wrong - (to exagerate) you could hit it towards the next hole on the course and it will still go in, but you can see your opponent struggle with easy shots
is there a trick to understanding something that's deliberately put into the game to try to imitate real golf (ie, just simply bad days); maybe a bias given to differently ranked players; is the game sensitive to internet connections in this way. i can't work it out.
to my advisors below:
please re-read my post - you'll see no evidence of complaints or claims of abilities. if i was 'blaming the game' i wouldn't be playing it. if i was even just a 'good' player i wouldn't be asking advice.
i've had to read through abuse and name calling to get a clue of what i was looking for: 'See forums on wind, how to map clubs for length, setting aim marker (cam angles now and then should be noted although not essential to get to grips with OK scores)' virtually every term here is new to me and should help, so thank you.
see you all on the course ;-)
