Shots 60-100 Yards are Broken

Shots from 60-100 yard DO NOT behave as they should. They appear to ignore elevation and wind unless it's extremely severe. There are times where a shot up hill and into the wind land exactly where I target. Below is a clip of me on Oak Hill white tees (where it shows the ball flight line) where I am on very level ground with a slight wind right to left. You can see that up to 60 yards it says my ball will land short. From 60-100 yards it says my ball will land long? How is that possible? I'm technically aiming further and further up hill, even though it's very slight.

I have also heard from many others that they notice this is well and it's costing them shots. I've also heard from others that have created support tickets on this. I myself submitted a support ticket and was told it's "behaving as expected" which cannot possibly be true.

 

 

 

This is NOT realistic in a game that claims to be as such.

I love the new forgiveness but we could use a bit more...

Well I have to say at first glance the wedges seem to behave as they should now.  The calculations I would normally do for irons I can now do for wedges and the game feels way more consistent.  That is after only 25 holes or so.  I have to hand it to PS for listening to us and finally fixing this.  I also want to thank everyone who replied to this thread with similar concerns.  I think it helped get this done!

Would be nice to know in some kind of visual way how a short shot is gonna play out too.. sometimes it will chip.. sometimes full on pitch it and others it seems to be a shot between the two, thats the shot I think comes up short. On tiger woods games it would tell you what kind of shot your about to make (well it would allow you to choose), a flop, chip, pitch etc.. so you knew the difference, in this game its kinda told by stance but even thats inconsistent as it can switch between at the slightest power change, ruining your intended shot. Hope you guys look into these types of issues we have as players, especially since approach is one of (if not THE) most important aspect of golf. Thanks

Agreed, Sour. You gents, made some noise and it seems like they listened. How about the new forgiveness, lol

Yeah I have played some…many are saying they see nothing…i see a difference definitely.  Wedges adjust more like hitting a iron…I am aiming further than I used to for sure.  Pitches/chips are really different but seem more consistent.  Again having to aim further than I used to but not getting balls that are all over the place distance wise.  Think so far where you would hit (talking chips) say 5yds short of pin now around 4yds instead….will post more if I find anything of note…

Agreed king, hate it when I am too locked in and don’t notice the golfer switch and shot goes way past the hole.  There is a difference distance wise between where a chip vs pitch is played in terms of length from hole.  Here is a video of a wedge shot.  I know I’m using a ball but I still do not get how it can land 6yds further than distance hit?  It is as if game played for a tailwind which it clearly was not....Wedge

Never fails 100yd shot, perfect shot from fairway and I’m 10yd short off the green with only a crosswind.  Really wish there could be some response here??  Not going to continue too much longer contributing and supporting this game when it has a defect that is just being ignored....

No doesn’t help…happens once in awhile but am using a iPad Air 4 currently (nothing really faster right now)…lowering graphics makes it worse actually.I know you wouldn’t think that…but it does….have on medium…can go high if I wanted…but it’s not a low resource/low FPS kind of stutter…it’s continuous…

I thought I was losing my mind. Seems that my shots within this range have become more unpredictable than in the past. Shots going long, short, etc. There have been several inconsistencies in lie/wind well-documented since the game came out that one only has but to take notes of each of these holes and play the repeatable inconsistencies

Release notes for today state "Incorrect wedge distance shown on UI fixed."  What does this mean?  Is this related to the issues presented in this thread?

I seriously doubt it, but it might explain why am playing like crap again

Well since I talk to support often…yes…evidently this is supposed to be the fix to issue we all have been talking about….Guess we’ll see…all I know going to get my EG round in before maintenance and update….EG wouldn’t be one of my choices to play with a reworked wedge adjustment…you know you will forget at some point and hit one using old method.  I am just hoping wedge adjustments become like they should have been…no different than adjusting a iron….definitely will be going straight to white tees oak hills #14 after update to see what has been changed, right Sour?  

Yeah I heard that too some time ago…and have never played clan plugged in.  This update has been a rollercoaster ride for sure but I was due for a break anyway but was holding off…we’ll see..anyway enough of my personal junk…back to topic I have 55% backspin on my wedge and I am finding shots of 30-70yd.all I have done so far my wedge bounce and roll is in 5yd total range.  Also green side chips and pitches..I am aiming closer to hole than previous to update, I notice the wind direction is a bit stronger but also to be the main factor for how the ball reacts.  In other words if you have wind left to right but ground lie slope going opposite wind it doesn’t cancel the wind like you would think.
