This time through, in addition to making my character look like me, I have restricted my power attribute to where my max drive is about 260 yards which is about my real life "good" drive, and I'm trying to keep the other attributes under 60%. So far so good, as I am breezing thru Q school.
Question:Personally I still like Links better, but use TW '07 with a golf launchpad during the winter, as the launchpad does not work as well with Links.
Golf simulators - Golf Launchpad by electric~spin for PC, Mac and PS2. Home golf simulators
I also have TW for the xbox and PSP, but rarely play any of them except in the winter months.
Yes, it works with the putter as well. You just cover the bottom sensor in the beginning to let it know you are putting and chipping, as opposed to the outside sensor for full shots. Even recognizes the difference on left and right handed players, as my wife is left handed. Although for really short puts I will sometimes use the mouse just for ease of use. I will say, on the higher levels of difficulty, the putting can sometimes be sporadic from one green to the next with speed.Question:
Does the simulator work with a putting stroke too?
Or, do you have to go to the mouse to hole out?
And, yeah.
Game is much more fun when the character is like your real game.
At first it was nice playing as TW and crushing 300 yd drives, but that got boring fast.
Anybody like computer golf games? I used to play Links quite a bit. But now I've gotten into EA Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07. I don't have a Play Station or Xbox - those dedicated games machines might be far better - maybe. But I do like this PC game quite a lot. Graphics and sound effects are very realistic. The texture of the turf, and especially the swing action is very accurate. The way the ball flies and bounces and rolls - all exceptional. In this game, you develop a character that learns and gets better as you play. At first I took a pro character (TW, of course) but later I found that it's more fun playing an amateur and developing him. This character's skills are more in line with my own. You can even make it look like you.
Might sound a bit looney, but I've even improved my management skills playing this.
Anyone else into this - or another one? I also tried Pro Stroke Golf by Oxygen. Feh. THe EA (Electronic Arts) game KILLS it.
