pdb1:Did you ever notice especially the first few rounds
of a new course . Or a course that has always been there . But you never
played it before ? It seems like all your mapping goes out the window .
It isn't until a half a dozen or a dozen rounds that you begin to get
really dialed in .
TheDudemeister69: I would tend to disagree with that statement, based solely on my own (limited) experience. I have not been playing this game long enough to have been here when most of the courses were new, however I was here when Torrey and PGA National came out.
That's fine .
But it does occur . Noticable by some and not by others . All part of the dialing in , as I call it , by the VEM . Not a conspiracy .
Not everyone ( likely very few ) have instant accuracy and response immediately .
It is easy to say it is all based on experience .
But having seen and felt the differences . Having others confirm it . And having read the patents thoroughly . There is no doubt in my mind that this very precise , challenging , online virtual golf game is one of the very best of all time because of its highly specialized and unique programs . It could not run this well for so long , so consistently without these programs .
As a user becomes more adept at using a piece of virtual equipment, the
sweet spot for one or more of the virtual equipment's variables is
adjusted to require the user's interaction with the virtual equipment to
achieve values for those variables closer to their means in order to
cause a successful outcome. Likewise, as a user's skill level decreases,
the sweet spot for one or more of the virtual equipment's variables can
be adjusted to allow the user's interaction with the virtual equipment
to achieve values for those variables farther from their means and still
have a chance of causing a successful outcome.
Basically that means that a beginner golfers sweet spot is adjusted by increasing it . To allow a better chance of the shot landing closer . To give the golfer more hope . So as to continue playing with eagerness . More likely to purchase more and better equipment . Among other things .
And for the experienced golfer ( the one with much more data ) . The sweet spot is decreased to force the golfer to actually work to up his game .
