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. :( |

Soo close to (potentially) winning a daily last night. Was in 8th place with a -9 on the last Par 5, hit a beautiful chip with super topspin, hit the pin... did a rising shot and!!! falls in the cup and bounces out. Fuck!! So had to just take the birdie.

Beat my previous PB by 4 strokes and didn't smack into a damn hot air balloon thank goodness :P Annoying-ass things

I read the past few pages after I posted and saw that I was getting stuck way too early. I played 3-2 a few more times and finally took first. Four birdies, two bogeys. Two of those birdies were chip ins and one was almost a 30 footer though, so I guess I got a bit lucky.

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 |

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

Circle shot is definitely my favorite out of all of them.
Also got all the Crowns yay!

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.

I rely on the caddy's feedback, right after a green shot, to plan my follow-up especially when playing online. I hold my breath and listen closely for the "looks good!" or whatever comment, and then crack a smile.

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. |

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 ???

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* |

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
