Single Player Progression

[Doc Clarke]

Is the single player career progression this year fuller than last year?
I only play single player but once a season was over last year there seemed little point in playing any more. Is there more for a single player to level up, achieve etc this year than last?

Each level nets you a skill point, plus continued play will net you club fittings and such.

In short, the more times you play, the easier the game will get (if you use the above things intelligently). If you start off at a higher difficulty, such that you can't just curbstomp the opposition, you'll find that the next and subsequent seasons should give you better results against the fields (and, I believe, against live opponents if that's your thing).

It's up to you to decide if that's worth playing for.

Interesting, how do you know that? The difficulty of the opponents, or the settings of your own difficulty level? And how do the course settings count? And how many rounds per tournament?

I know that as I've added skills and improved my clubs, my scores have gotten better...I hit longer and straighter, which makes for more accurate approach shots.

The difficulty rating of your opponents is a setting in My Career, as is the number of rounds per tournament and the course difficulty. If you leave opponent rating the same, and your own scores improve, you'll end up faring better against the field.

Course settings are really there to handicap you, the computer players ignore them and "shoot" scores as per their setting. Number of rounds is kind of a wash, you get more chances to post good scores, but also more chances to really screw up.

Ok thx, i understand, what you mean. :)
Had read it as being a technically integrated one.
