The controls need a 3 click swing meter

[Big Al]

Nice looking Golf Game...but that’s where the "nice" ends because the controls suck big time. The "INTUITIVE CONTROL SYSTEM" is a joke and is why the reviews are so bad for this game. If it had the awesome and well made controls of Perfect Golf it would be a really good game.

It's been brought up many times and it will never be added as they want more of a golf sim then a golf arcade game.

The controls in this game don’t make it a sim lol...Links 2003 is a far better sim and so is Perfect Golf (because it feels just like Links 2003). The Golf Club will never be complete without a 3 click swing meter and all the fans of the Links Golf Games will flock to Perfect Golf because they got the controls right.

Although I prefer Perfect Golf because it has a live lobby system, using a controller in TGC for putting is by far more realistic than mouse swing or 3 click.

I like all three games. Links, PG and The Golf Club. I would like to see a meter like power stroke is in Links 2003. That would be fantastic!!!!!!!!!

I agree with Bigal

Well, you've done it. You've turned a great, enjoyable golf game into a useless waste. As punishment, I'd like to force the programmers and managers to have to play for 48 hours using a wireless mouse, and everytime they hook or slice into the woods, they get taken out and caned. I've loaded Perfect Golf. It's far from perfect, but it's at least playable. I used to love this game. I still think the best golf game ever was Links. Why someone can bring that back with current graphics, etc., I just don't know. But I can't play this trash anymore. Just enrages me.

The dev team is currently working on improvements to the mouse control

In 2015 there are many more complications, considering the vast amount of different PCs, video cards, operating systems, not available in 2003.

For many people Links 2003 was thier first PC golf game and they were blown away by it at the time so now everything else they play after that does not give them that same feeling of seeing something new, resulting in rose colored glasses and nostalgia.

Yes I played Links 2003, Tiger Woods 2007, 2008, Tiger Woods Online among many others as well, and all of them had their issues that enraged me, but at no time did I ever go into the forums and call those games Trash.

Me and my friends are having fun playing The Golf Club, just like we did with the golf games we played in the past, the only difference I see is that this game is still putting out patches and trying to fix issues where as most EA golf games I have played where forgotten 2 months after the release and multiplayer was turned off a year after that.

Thanks HB

fact of the matter is ,it isn't about which kind of control you use but how responsive the method is . I have bought Perfect Golf as well and that has 3-click swing ..however : it's so unresponsive it's near unplayable ( granted : that one is still in early access but you get my point ) . If anything I find the "swing " -mechanic a tad too responsive on occasion .

Especially with an aproach shot ( especially from the rough) I quite often overshoot the green . What I'm wondering if there's ever going to be a scale added to the putting meter ,it doesn't affect the difficulty by much because you still have the slope on the greens ( and the firmness of the surface) to take into account

i agree with the OP. 3-click is desired by a lot of players. Many players use straight-edge with their mouse - i hate that, but my point is, is if people are using straight edge, then give us 3-click anyway. how hard can it be? give us an option to turn it on /off - everyone is happy then.
