Approach shots are very inconsistent for me, even when I get a perfect input. I guess that's the purpose of upgrading the control of those clubs?

It shouldn't be. A perfect hit should be a perfect hit. Control should maybe make your sweet spot bigger so you’re more likely to get a clean strike, or give stronger front/backspin.

 

[Number45]

Do we know if the in-game pre-order content is going to be made available through unlocks or as payable DLC in the future? Deciding whether to pick this up now or wait a while with D2 out next week.

EDIT: Only really the course I'm worried about.

Is there any in-game explanation of how to do topspin/backspin/slice/draw? I played 3 single player tourneys and didn't encounter that. Also no explanation of power shots.

 

[stargateheaven]

Shopto finally gave me a code on their order page.

Also the 3 putt mode was added to make it harder and "more pressure like real golf"

Have you done the versus mode against a single ai? One of the ai explains how to do a backspin.
Or in the loading screens probably.


I don't mind the 3 touch putting. I never played the other games but it seems fine.

In past games it would be on loading screens or in the menus.

 

[Setzer]

I got a hole in one on my very first par-3 hole in this game. In thousands of hours of prior HSG games, I think I had a grand total of 1 ever. I feel so lucky.

Congrats man!

Decided to play a 9-hole stroke match just to get back into the swing of things and on my 2nd shot on the first hole(Par 4) I sunk an eagle from 154yds out. I was pretty stoked. Been playing Hot Shots/Everybody's Golf since the first game and its still a joy to play after all these years.

Topspin - Hold down during first button press, then up during second.
Backspin - Hold up during first button press, then down during second

Same with Slice/Draw. You can also do both by using the diagonals.

Its strange. Even when I consider everything that would effect the ball sometimes it'll wildly go in a direction I didnt intend it to.

I think your game is broken

 

[v1lla21]

Its strange. Even when I consider everything that would effect the ball sometimes it'll wildly go in a direction I didnt intend it to.

Is this during every approach or only on the farthest ones? Sometimes even during weak winds it can carry your ball a lot.

 

[BlueTsunami]

I hope not

Is this during every approach or only on the farthest ones? Sometimes even during weak winds it can carry your ball a lot.

Mid distance so definitely further. I guess I'll have to get used to the physics even more. Wind seems to be even more of a factor.

 

[legendaryskitch]

So I'm heavily debating buying this. I just have a quick question. Does it have local multiplayer like the old ones? If so, can you still share a single controller?

 

[Setzer]

Funny, I noticed this happened to me a couple times last night and figured I just overcompensated for the wind.

 

[Radical Edward]

Wind is a big factor on high shots and the grade of your lie factors in as well. Are you typically trying to stick it or are you running the ball to the pin?

 

[RSchmitz]

In past games you could throw some grass to have a better idea of the wind. I'm sure you can do that on this one too, I just haven't had time to play it yet.

 

[Rumble19]

This game is so much fun.

 

[v1lla21]

Yeah, this.

I can verify that the Amazon preorder codes are the DLC and aren't the full version of the game.

PM me if you're trying to move your Best Buy code and what you'd want for it.

I can trade for a digital version of Project Cars or we can work something out via PayPal

 

[PhoenixSFT]

If anyone has a spare Best Buy code, I'd also be up for purchasing it off you. PM me, thanks!

You guys are forgetting about the control stat.

When your control stat sucks, you don't hit the ball square and your ball goes off course.

Look at the bottom left of the screen right after the impact press and see where the ball connects with the club.

I bet when the shots go off course, that's why.

 

[Radical Edward]

I can verify that the Amazon preorder codes aren't the full ver.

PM me if you're trying to move your Best Buy code and what you'd want for it.

What do you mean by full ver. ?
What's missing from the amazon codes? All my items are showing, afaik.

 

[GET2DAACHOPPAAAA]

Has anyone gotten their Best Buy preorder code?

 

[RodzTF]

So I'm heavily debating buying this. I just have a quick question. Does it have local multiplayer like the old ones? If so, can you still share a single controller?

Yes and yes up to 4 people

I edited and cleared it up. Sorry about that.

 

[hort22]

anyone without psn+ playing this game yet? what isnt playable?
debating if i need to pick up that subscription as well or just grind the single player part for awhile and add psn+ on later.

 

[stargateheaven]

Premium golfcart speed is crazy lmao.

Its strange. Even when I consider everything that would effect the ball sometimes it'll wildly go in a direction I didnt intend it to.

pay attention to wind, ball lie, and obviously hitting it perfectly. There's more to this cutsey game than first appears.

 

[Radical Edward]

I edited and cleared it up. Sorry about that.

Ahhhh, i missed the part where BB is giving away free games

 

[MarineMountie]

Played a turf war. Had a blast. After it was over it just ended though. It gave me MVP and that was it. Is there no reward at all for winning multiplayer matches? Are the rewards only in tournaments?

 

[PushingButtons]

I have no idea how to read the putting grids

Is there a way to control if your shot curves left or right?

 

[Clipse]

Pre-ordered this at Best Buy for in-store pickup. Should the code be printed on my receipt or will they e-mail it only after I have picked it up?

They email it.

 

[Nyteshade517]

just did a tournament (unofficial with tornado cups so not difficult)...I think I may have to turn on Serious Mode in these lower levels now

 

[stargateheaven]

you just need to get used to it.

you have to look at the slope. A big thing you wanna pay attention to though is if its up hill or not. At the top of the screen it will say if its higher, lower is "flat". Obviously compensate with power for those. I usually go slightly above what i need even if its flat.

 

[UpUpDownDown]

Can you make your golfer left handed? I don't want my created character to have a gross righty swing. I'm sure you can but I hate to assume.

Thanks in advance.

Yes

 

[sphinx]

I've played essentially every Mario Golf and Everybody's Golf game so I feel like I can field this one.

This game is extremely similar to Mario Golf. If you like Mario Golf for reasons other than the Mario IP itself you will love Everybody's Golf. The controls are essentially the same (except that the method of putting spin on the ball is slightly different between them - in Mario Golf you change the button you press to end your swing, in EG you hold a direction on the d-pad) and the things you need to pay attention to before the shot - distance loss in the rough; uphill / downhill lie; wind speed and direction; fliers etc - are all roughly equivalent between them.

The most major difference is in the course design - Mario Golf tends towards more simple holes tricked out with Mario-centric features, traps and obstacles. Everybody's Golf, despite the anime look, tends towards more intricate, realistic hole designs, though ones that become more difficult than what you'd see in real life by the time you reach the last course. I find the course design in Everybody's Golf massively superior, to be honest, and it's why I prefer this series.

Neither game has an extensive single player mode - you just enter tournaments to level up and unlock new courses. Which is enough for a golf game - you're really playing to beat your own scores or playing other people online, after all.

Everybody's Golf has a lot more levelling systems - in the past you levelled up a character to unlock more power shots and 'super spin' abilities which activate if you hit the pin. In this one, you create your own character and then level up each club in the bag as you hit good shots with it. I don't particularly like it as you need to grind to get a good set of clubs and start hitting good scores, but for those who like a sense of progression that'll really keep you satisfied.

That's about it, they're really, really similar. Couldn't recommend EG games enough to a Mario Golf fan.

Thank you for this and the answer to the other post about trophies

I think I'll go for it.

I am not sure why I am so hesitant about this.... it really seems like a suitable replacement for Mario Golf and the game is getting a great reception.

 

[Sh0k]

Uhhh I just got my code from Best Buy. It wasn't the preorder dlc but instead it was the full game... I redeemed it thinking the stuff was inside.

Going through the thread right now, I just did the same thing, redeemed the code thinking it was the DLC and is downloading he full game, any word if Best Buy is going to send the correct code? Anybody contacted Best Buy?

 

[Voorhees]

I have no idea how to read the putting grids

Is there a way to control if your shot curves left or right?

If the grid dots are running right, then your ball will go right, aim left to compensate. Likewise if they are running left, aim right.

Check at the top of your screen a + ___Number mean your putt is uphill, aim past the flag on the meter to compensate.

Likewise a -____Number means it's downhill, aim before the flag on the meter. It also means it's going to curve more the slower it gets.

Color will tell you as well. Red - Uphill, Blue - Downhill

 

[Neuromancer]

I sent an email to Twitter@bestbuy.com but haven't heard back. In the past I've had luck with doing that (when you ask them on twitter for help they just refer you to that email address anyway. It's their social media support team.)

 

[RecRoulette]

Approach shots are very inconsistent for me, even when I get a perfect input. I guess that's the purpose of upgrading the control of those clubs?

Is the ball lying on flat ground? Hitting off a slope affects the direction the ball goes.

 

[Storm Chamber]

Off of one course, 3 tick putting will get the job done, but it's really unnecessary. Just adds another layer of stress you don't need.

 

[stargateheaven]

Shu said in a recent video thats why they added the 3 input to putting also. It adds to stress and pressure like real golf.

 

[Mossybrew]

I wonder what's up with Amazon shipping on this one. Looks like I'm not getting it until next week.

 

[RodzTF]

It's just like real golf, which is stressful at most on the greens where you've gotta convert your opportunities

The two copies I ordered showed up at their different locations today.

Yes.

After you take a shot. Look at the bottom right of the screen. It will show you how square you hit it.

I'm honestly too scared to contact them lol. I mean I already redeemed it and it is their mistake and all.

 

[MyNameIsRye]

Is this game easy to just play against a few friends?

How does it work if I want to play with 2 other friends?

Ugh, it was bad enough before lol

Today's run:

I've been playing so much HSG3/4 in preparation, my timing's all messed up. Some real idiotic second shots. I'll be back though

 

[KZXcellent]

So where is the Singleplayer campaign in this. Only see online modes. (unless there isn't any and that's fine)
