CBS Sports has the latest Golf news, live scores, player stats, standings, fantasy games, and projections. Here Chad Nelson, President of World Golf Tour, gives us a tour of its free golf game that you play online against other people. Pretty cool technology and u. As you play you also learn to factor in other things, such as wind strength and direction, how far your target is versus how far you can potentially hit the ball, and which club you should use.
The game sets you up for each shot with the club it recommends, but you can always change it. Using a timed meter at the bottom of your screen, you must time your 'shot' as close to the target spot as you can in order to make the perfect shot.
The game is shown in the third person, with your avatar front and centre. If you want to see the course from different angles the choices are limited, but are available, via pre-designated camera angles you can choose on the map. These are extra handy for tricky shots, where you need to factor in slopes on the green to aim your shot well. You earn XP experience for each shot you make, which unlocks various supplies and locations available to you, and you earn all the more for each medal you earn.
Medals can include landing on the green, amongst others, which will cause your first few rounds to be full of earned medals of varying sorts.
If you're terrible, or simply are taking shots without trying, the game will prompt you to become a 'better player' by offering a link to watch tutorial videos to improve your game.
You can replay any course to improve on your previous scores; even tournaments have unlimited play, enabling limitless improvement on your game. Unfortunately, the free basic ball hurts your game badly. However, my biggest issue is the inconsistency in the AI. It actually seems like it chooses the winner at times. With practice, you gradually get better at this process and you become more and more accurate.
Unfortunately, there are times where the game decides that, regardless of your skills and how you play, your ball is going somewhere like a bunker, water hazard, or just way too far or short. This often happens when there is a bunker or water hazard behind the green and the game apparently wants me to go there. Of course, putting me in the water means the expensive ball I purchased is now lost and I have to pay more if I want to get a new one.
I think the most frustrating thing about these inconsistencies is that they seem to occur when I have been winning a lot and it feels like an attempt at keeping players relatively even.
Graphics are well done although views are inconsistent from course to course. Lots of cheats play, just like sandbaggers in real life. The biggest issue is the game appears to decide who wins. Lots of putts left right on the lip when the putt has been hit with more than enough speed.
Balls that go in hazards that the actual shot hit was nowhere close to the hazard. Chip ins, hole in ones that come from players with limited skills. Lot of an opponent running in a 30 foot putt on fast greens to tie and force a playoffs. Clubs that have different distances based on course you are playing.
I've pretty much loss my amusement with this game for these reasons. Same club, with same spin set My favorite is the Pebble Beach the par four hole that you hit the second shot over the cliff to the hole below.
