Care to explain?
The more I read about this game, the more i think I'll pass on it. Would be the first since PS2 (I ever bought the modem for it back in the day, and bought a PS3 just for Minna 5).

Total non-issue, yeah right.
Nice recent example. Final course long tees, a Par-3 with 225y length to an island green. No wind, took my 5W and aimed it at the middle of the green. Added backspin and hit PI. Went straight left into the water hazard.
Absolute bullshit.
Now you could argue I shouldn't have added backspin to make it less random. But I wanted the ball high to carry the hazard and stop on the green. In my situation it was the smart shot and executed flawlessly. Still ended wet. That should not happen and is a big step back from past games. And the frequency in which a random bad contact on PI screws you is ridiculous.
Seemingly, adding backspin to your shots makes them harder to control, leading to more frequent bad impacts. See the bottom left of your screen for your ball contact after taking a shot. It's dumb.

Meh, I hope this isn't a gamebreaking bug, already restarted the game.
Lost to the wrestler in special rank, now the digital banners "A VS character is here" are appearing but the character isn't there.

Don't listen to crazy fucks obsessing about how they can't beat it in a few days without tons of "grinding". Or claiming the game is broken because ethey don't get perfect shots every time.
Playing this with friends is the same as it always was, fun.

If you use Just scan or whatever non-overscan mode your tv has, there's a noticeable black border around the entire image and it's annoying. Why would the devs intentionally handicap the most accurate display mode like this?

The 15 sec rule, I hope I can implement that when playing with friends, cruel lol
ALso how many vs and secret vs characters are there?

Weird. I have an LG set with just scan on and it fills it like normal.
OS level setting maybe??
One thing the game certainly is not, is a technical marvel XD
Sorry, but I disagree... The whole thing that make Minna interesting to me is the risk/reward balance. Using a stronger club mean a narrower sweat spot, but I expect the penalty linked to how far you are from the aim (it can perfectly be random, but the variance should be proportional to (distance to sweet spot / width of sweet spot))
I really think you shouldn't get a penalty for a perfect impact. Never. That's a deal breaker to me because it would simply kill the fun, and I've played far too many hundreds of hours in various Minna no Golf...
If you play casually, it's fine, but if you play to improve your score, you should be responsible for errors, not under the threat of RNG.
Edit: just to be clear, I don't care if you can't advance fast and there's grinding involved. All Minna no Golf are grind-fest. The only think that annoys me is how the game is enjoyable in the (very) long run. As far as I can tell, it isn't.
I agree.
If I understand you well, if you hit perfect impact, you get more often random direction changes if you use spin?
I would be perfectly fine with harsher penalties is you use spin and DON'T hit PI, but if that's what you're talking about...

Man I just lost back to back tourneys on rank 4 after never losing one. The more powerful my clubs are the worse I'm getting.
I haven't seen one "crazy fuck" around here. Maybe if you actually took time to read people's experiences and gripes with the game you'd understand there are genuine issues with the gameplay systems

Fuck me for expecting Perfect Impact when I perfectly impact the Perfect Impact.
It's one thing to ignore some problems and have fun (having tons of fun with EG here despite flaws) but to make the issues non-issues is ridiculous.

You only get one chance to beat the special rank characters. I guess you have to wait until the next time they appear.

Others have explained but I wanted to chime in and say don't let it stop you from picking it up. Like you I have been playing the series since it's inception and only bought a PS3 because of this series.
It really is a lot of fun even with a few questionable design decisions. I will be playing this for years and hope they offer robust support moving forward.
Same here. Perfect impact has always been perfect impact for me. I don't know what they are talking about. Power level 24 on my 1 wood
Same here, i would like to see a video of that.
More than 45 characters in total.

The progression in unlocking courses is painfully slow, damn. Can't remember if it was like this in the past games or not (it's been too long). I don't care for online play so I'm worried upgrading stuff will be a pain. UI on the course is soooooooooooo cluttered. Even though I understand what all of it's for, it's still silly. Sure as hell feels like a game in this series, though! Not much substantive to complain about at this middleware price.
It's good that Sony still offers such variety in first-party games.

Really bizarre that Clap Hanz chose to include Green C.C. as a paid DLC course (was free with pre-orders)
Out of all the courses in EG history, I would not pick that one to remaster
It's dreadfully straight forward, no hazards and no scenery
To those who have it, how's the Balata course?

Is there a golfing term for how you feel on an 18 hole tournament when leading, then near the end you +4 a hole?

Yeah, I've just unlocked the final course and have had no issues whatsoever with PI

I'm with you - feels the same as past games to me. Its near right down the middle + wind effect.
Look in the bottom left corner of the screen just after impact. There is a dot that appears briefly showing how much the shot was pushed or pulled. Doesn't matter whether you got perfect impact or not, the dot will just randomly be wherever. Hook/slice is still determined by how much you miss the impact timing, but push/pull is all about that random "sway" dot. I've seen perfect impact shots where the dot was off the scale right or left, which will start on a bad line right or left and then fly straight from there. I only have +4 control on the driver, but I've seen the same randomness with +12 control and up irons too.
After seeing on here that spin might be influencing it, I played a couple rounds watching it on every shot and didn't ever apply any spin. Looked just as random to me, so I don't think spin has anything to do with it.
It's not totally game breaking IMO, but definitely frustrating when you get to the tighter courses and hit a perfect shot only to see it randomly pulled way left into a water hazard or OB.

Ps4->Settings->Sound and Screen->Adjust Display Area.
The problem is you have your ps4 set to underscan the image.
Its not the devs fault.
I don't know why people aren't more familar with the ps4s settings. The first thing I do when I buy any kind of tech is to play around with the settings for like 10 minutes.

Man this game is so fun...first time I've played a hot shots game but glad I picked it up. Is there a way to practice when your close to the hole? Putting seems to be very hard I usually miss, do you have to get the perfect timing every hit to sink it?

The Van de Velde.
Yes, they are two utterly bizarre courses chosen due to the 20th anniversary (or because they were super easy to do, you decide).
Green C.C. is an absolute masterpiece next to Balata G.C. Balata might be the worst course in the last decade of Everybody's Golf, and I include the PSP games in that.
I'll make a short video of some holes later this evening if you want to see what it's like before you buy. Unfortunately I'm about to play real golf in a few moments so it'll be a few hours. Yesterday I had three birdies in my round for only the second time ever so I'm eager to get back out there. One where I dropped the ball to within 5 feet on an island green. Felt so fucking good man...
EDIT: Nice day for golf

They fudged the FPS last patch. Hopefully a hot fix is on the way.
I need to apologise for being so far wrong on the custom clubs issue. I just didn't understand them the first time I levelled up and the first time I used them, so what I stated ended up being misinformation which spread and is really shitty of me. Totally unintentional, I just misunderstood the game systems. Now - the p2w system I described IS there, but it's nowhere near the grind I said it was and it's nowhere near as expensive as I said it was. I still don't like it, but it's just not the disaster I thought and it's not going to ruin the game in the way I thought it would.
I do think the game should share some of the blame for not being perfectly clear about this, but ultimately it was my mistake and I apologise. This guy...
...has it right. I had thought you were levelling up your clubs the whole time - but you were levelling up your character's skill with your clubs. This is where my fundamental misunderstanding came from. So when you get that new set at the end of the game, it's just another bonus set like 'Power Clubs etc'. And since the level ups are limited to 10, the grind is nowhere near as extreme as I said.
This is also correct. I thought you were doing your entire character progression from the ground up. Apologies again for getting it wrong, I feel like a fool.
I think I just had the issue on a par 3. Have it recorded so I'll look at it again and hopefully I can get it uploaded tonight.

Thanks... I'll think about it, but honestly, I'm not thrilled. Even the visual/lack of characters was a letdown to me, but I could have lived with that. The DLC was annoying (I loathe those, but at least it's not awful) so if the gameplay isn't perfect...
Honestly, I'd probably only pick it for online on home console... if randomness and dlc both plays a role in this, I'm reluctant to buy a PS4 and paying PSN just for this. I'll probably go on with Vita version.
But again, I'll think about it. I'm just disappointed now.
So, weird issue today. Whenever I boot the game up I have to shut my controller off and turn it back on to do anything and if I access the friend menu, I can't do anything at all to the point where shutting the controller off and turning it back on again doesn't work either (Fast Edit: Okay, I have to do this same thing TWICE to get past the friend menu, once for the PS4 UI stuff then again when it moves back to the game, god dammit). I can still hit the home button during these times and the controller works normally everywhere else but this game. Worked fine last night, dunno what the deal is.
Edit 2: And now it's working just fine after swapping to another game for a few minutes. How bizarre.

Is PS+ even needed for this game? I don't currently have a subscription but the game hasn't stopped me doing anything, including running around the online courses and posting scores on the leaderboards.
Maybe PS+ is only required for the online tournaments (whenever they get enabled)?

same for me except I haven't tried turf war...that work for you as well?
ps am I the only one that sees the round patch of grass around the hole...looks terrible...can a patch fix that?
Wow, when you put it like that haha!
I had no interest in paying £5.49~ for a single course anyway, but thanks for well and truly sealing my wallet indefinitely. Intrigued to see it, will see if there's some existing footage around
