I think its all in one course.
I misunderstood that one entirely it seems, it's not the type of shot you play at the hole (i.e. backspin, topspin etc.) but the control type (like the circle type, standard bar etc.). Well that makes it more attainable!
That'll just leave the water skipping and the albatross. Not looking forward to that one.

I finally broke into the top 9 last night!
Followed by scoring a -5 over 9 holes - on the 2nd course ;_;
Expecting to drop today...

A couple of my pals were having problems earlier, then another said it was back up. (a few hours ago)

So I just got this and a Vita 2 days ago and I had a chance to start playing last night.
I love it so far... except I played a shit load of HSG5 and the little differences are driving me crazy. A few questions
-is the back camera angle gone. I mean the one where you are chipping close and you just switch to the behind angle. you can kind of rig that angle together by moving it way by moving the camera but I won't have the time in a tourney to do that.
-How do I get my putting line?!?! This is really bothering me. I just talking about the straight line coming off the putter you use to judge the break.
-I don't understand why, if I have an A rating in impact, that the width of the driving impact is only 1 space wide. It's screwing up most of my drives because I rarely hit perfect shots. Please don't tell me that every character with any stats has only that much driving impact, that's crazy

The driving impact is because you're on the 1W. It's always like that regardless of the character's rating. If I think I stand a chance of hitting it into a bunker or something when driving, I'll switch to a 3W.
BobTheFork

Thanks. I still think that's crazy. I'm almost sure HSG5 gave you more room even on the driver.
Alex Anderson

They changed it so 1W shots aren't 99% automatic in this game. Unless you get PI it's going to be a rabbit or turtle (or worse of course)

As far as I know, all the shot types are the same in terms of power.
Really irritated at the way they nixed traditional shots in the previous game. I just couldn't get used to the advanced shot.
Alex Anderson

For Advanced they added a power gauge. In the PS3 game there was no gauge, just blinking lights at 50% and 100%.
Advanced does have one minor advantage over the other shots. When you press circle/triangle to adjust power at impact it adjusts to the nearest one percent on power. For example, setting 100% power and pressing circle at impact to be able to hit a shot with 99% power. In Circle Shot pressing circle at 100% knocks it down to 98% because there are fewer than 100 increments on the power bar, which is kind of annoying. It usually only bugs me on shots ~200yards plus where I'll be like "100% this is 10 feet too long, 98% is 10 feet too short" then I cycle nearby clubs trying to find something that would be equivalent of 99% and sometimes can't.
I originally wanted to play with Advanced shots in this game, similar to how I did in the PS3 version, switching to a side view to have optimum view of the backswing... but it's too cumbersome having to press the screen twice everytime I want to switch views. It'd take forever to play rounds. Also, I noticed when getting that screengrab that some players are too tall for the side view in Advanced... Max's power gauge was cut off at the top of the screen -_-
Oh well, Circle Shot is good enough
I do miss being able to hit 99% power shots and having the ghost ball for putting but oh well, not a huge deal*edit* ugh, playing a round with Advanced and switching to side view to power my shots. Forgot how it often gives you terrible camera angles of the ball's flight. That's yet another reason I didn't bother with it

Japan's first season ends on 5th May. Patch 1.04 to follow but it's not certain if that applies to US and Europe yet.
Hope we get it soon. I also hope they give us something new to spend our money on (and
a cheap way to get an albatross!

Can you get a new caddy? That Spanish lady annoys me.
HiddenAway

You get a new caddy every time you purchase a new course. You can change at the course select screen.

The other caddies are also quite annoying. Muting her might be the better option.
There'll be a reset soon, so if rank is what you're after I wouldn't bother just yet. I'm just running them in the vain hope of fluking an albatross.
They all do that, the double-crossing mofos!I go with Langundo (last caddy to unlock) simply because I find his voice to be a bit quieter than the others
I have no idea how I beat the 2nd half of the Al Arabian course in Bronze. It's so weird because the first half 4-1 was easy and not much tougher than previous courses. But ffffuuu at 4-2. There are so many holes on that course where you can get screwed really really bad by 1 mistake in planning or missing your shot by a millisecond. I got to the last hole in the lead and then the ball rolls across the entire putting green into the water :|
For the single player modes in future HSG games I think they should incorporate a Forza style rewind system. The whole thing where 1 millisecond mistake costs you an entire 9 hole course is a bit much.

As per the Japanese Vita games discussion thread, patch 1.04 is out in Japan on Monday (via Famitsu).
http://www.famitsu.com/news/201205/02014151.html
(Copy and paste link into address bar or press Enter after clicking the link above when on the "Forbidden" page)
Not sure if this applies to Europe/US gamers.

Stroke Mode only supporting two players is kind of a bummer :\ That's what my pals and I played most on OOB was 4P stroke rooms. Guess we'll just have to make do with the New Real rooms.

Anyone else utter shit at putting? I've been trying to do the first amateur cup for about a week, still can't get past it due to dire putting skills. Practice has made no difference, the grid doesn't help me one bit and if I get the cursor dead on the red flag on the putting gauge my ball ends up about 2m from the hole ???

Back when I played the game daily I had an intuitive feeling about the putting. If you're missing the hole by 2 meters then I'm guessing you forget to take the slope into account.

This is an unscientific way of doing it but it should help with getting at least the distance right (assuming you're using m/cm).
(Based on a normal putter - 10m)
1. Find out the remaining distance you have to the hole.
2. Look for the arrow at the top of the screen telling you how far up/down the hole is from the ball. Blue = down, Red = Up. Take the distance and divide by 10. Add or subtract this from the remaining distance (if the arrow is blue, subtract, if the arrow is red, add). This should give you the power you need to reach the hole (though take care when going downhill as the ball may travel even further).
3. Find the point on the bar you need to stop the marker (there should be 10 small markers = 1m each). If the point is past the maximum distance of the current club, hit square to go to the next club up.
4. Look at the markings going left to right or vice versa. Adjust accordingly. If the down/up-slope is going faster than the left/right slope then you won't need to veer off to the side as much.
5. Hit the shot. If you followed steps 1-3, you should at least be getting close to the hole unless you're really unlucky to hit a very fast down slope.
The 10 segments = 2m each on the 20m putter and 3m each on the 30m putter. If you're unlucky enough to need the 40m putter, then each segment obviously is 4m.
It's a good idea to get yourself better on your approach play so you don't have to resort to the larger putts unless you really have to (i.e. the direct path of your normal approach shot is blocked but you can reach the green another way)

Granted 9:37 AM eastern isn't exactly prime time, I still wasn't expecting to see this :lol
That's the first time I've gotten on and it's been a ghost town, not that I was expecting more than a handful of people on.
Man, I'll be glad when the patch hits and there's only ONE daily tournament. Maybe feeling under the weather the past week has something to do with it, but three per day is seeming like too much of a time commitment lately. I'll devote my hour (sometimes longer) to warming up and getting them done, then a lot of times feel too tuckered out to wanna do some live-play afterwards. And on days where I just don't feel like doing them it's -- "ughhhh I'm only playing these because I feel obligated to and don't wanna drop like a rock on the leaderboard." So yeah, one will be much preferred, for me anyway.
I imagine a single Daily will have an added bonus of increasing live-play server traffic as well, so yay. Hoping for a decent crowd once the patch hits.
Still moping about stroke rooms only supporting two players *sniff* Especially after talking with friends since the game came out "Man, it's gonna be awesome when they patch this and we can Party Chat in Stroke Play rooms." I was really looking forward to getting my group together and shooting the shit while watching each other take shots. Oh well. *mope mope*

The Japanese version patch is live according to shihiko's latest post (though the server is in maintenance). I dunno when we'll get it
He posted more info about it, including Lobby Part prizes for Graded Tournaments. Yes! I hope my witch hat from HSG5 is in this
http://mingol.shihiko.net/?p=519
No cons, apparently.
Alright, thanks!
I'm slowly edging up, but my scores haven't been so good recently as I'm using the dailies in my vain attempts to pick up that albatross.
Hooray, top 100!

I think it'll be a different case with this game. The Asian and western versions were released a lot closer together this time. The 1.03 patch looks like it went up Feb 9 for Minna and was available at launch (Feb 15) I believe for the US version. Hopefully we'll get this one just as soon
