wind

[-Roasted-]

this was the #1 thing that pissed me off is EA... the wind is doing exactly the same thing in the game as in EA, it. is. wrong. the speeds are WAY off

I got off the true swing thing and went to amateur. The wind is definitely affecting the shot BUT there is NO wind indicator anywhere making this game unplayable because you have no idea what the wind is doing, strange.

Wind does not affect your shot in amateur mode. That's why the indicator isn't there.

Just remember, if you're playing from a left to right, or right to left slope, the ball will go in the direction of the downhill part of the slope.
If it's a severe slope and the wind is blowing from the opposite direction, it might go the opposite way....

Just a thought :)

How does a golfer know what the wind is going to be in-flight and at the expected landing spot? They don't beside looking at distant trees and guesstimating.

Wind is supposed to be chaotic and difficult to predict. If 2K25 is doing that it can only be a good thing.

wind

the wind SPEED is not even close to being accurate, a 15MPH doing nothing to my shot/s... weird. a 4MPH win blowing my shots all over the place... weird. fix the wind!!!

I beg to differ with you. The wind does affect the shot, no doubt about it.

the wind SPEEDS are wrong in this game...

a 15MPH needs to behave like a 15MPH not a 2mph nothing wind and a 2mph behave like a 2mph wind and anything in between.

the wind SPEEDS are wrong in this game...

never once did I say the wind doesn't affect the shot....

the wind SPEEDS are wrong in this game...

I've hit shots going uphill aiming SHORT into a 10+mph wind and have the shot blow over the pin, I've hit the same shot and have it come well short, so again....

the wind SPEEDS are wrong in this game...

my math with ANY wind speed have usually been for ever 1mph wind you add 1 yard up to 10mph, (depending on power of shot) after that it gets to be a guessing game. in any golf game I've ever played has this been the case

[Rattner219]

Wind speeds aren't wrong. They are different from previous versions.

I suspect the designers have tried to simulate actual wind. That means not one uniform speed/direction over an entire hole (like every other golf game out there). The more people complain about this, the more my hardline against buying this game softens. Damn you all. :)

I bet wind is affected by say .. a line of trees, or local topography, and a fudge factor might have to be added to your calculations.

the wind is WRONG in this game

the wind is WRONG is this game, by a long shot, sometimes a 5mp will have zero effect on my shot, then the same 5mph wind might take the ball yards from the target. these 15+mph wind aren't even close.....

im going to say this again:
the wind is WRONG in this game!

its not, and is counterable with a simple formula based on the speed. Reviving your post every few weeks about something you're wrong about wont do anything.

MY guess is you think 1mph needs the same amount of counter as say 12mph, in which you'd be wrong. The faster it goes the more you need to counter.

For example.... ~6-10 MPH is approx 1 yard/square the opposite direction PER mph, 11-15 is approx 1.5. You not being able to figure that out doesnt mean its wrong, it means you are.


Is there a SINGLE aspect of this game you havent said is wrong or broken? I think you've basically touched on all of it by now so you're circling back around, and you've been comedically wrong about all of it. The funniest part is you can simply google the above info.

Im gonna say skill issue. I also suck at this game cant seem to figure out how the ball will react in situations but the fact that there are ppl that can means they have figured out how so it is possible.

it's not a "skill" issue, I expect the wind to play what it reads or close to that

And it very reliably does. Every time.
