A cheat identified for the record!

[Mr Blonde]

I just played 18 holes against the ghost of SassyOldMan1569 at Arcadian Springs golf club. Every single stroke he hit with laser like presicion with no deviance or jaggies at all in the shot trajectory/accuracy cone. I beat him anyway as the rest of his game leaves a lot to be desired :)

Getting at least almost every shot of a round straight seems possible with some unworn normally sold gamepads too.

If you play with a controller and anolog with D pad,you will always shoot dead straight.I have a couple controllers and it is easily repeatable.

The link Janyha posted,shows anyone can cheat and never get caught,but in fairness some straight shooters can not help it or know the difference,but some do.

Use a mouse guys..this isn't a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ console!

[Janyha]

At least the name of my gamepad tells it's for XBox and Windows. :)
I think most players would like this game as it's meant to be with straight enough controllers.

[Mr Blonde]

Just for the record here, im not talking about a relatively straight line in the cone but a line that would be drawn using a ruler on every shot

Only cheat I think that can POSSIBLY Be considered a cheat is for when you use a keymapper like joyto key and take out the Y in your mapping so that you only shoot straight.

Exactly, no Y mapping at all. No grudges though as this person is only kidding himself and nobody else

The line from my gamepad looks usually perfectly straight to me. It's not much worn yet cause I'm not playing other games with it. When not straight the line can vary anywhere from very marginal deviation to outside red though especially when trying too hard and lose concentration. Of course tempo, wind and ground cause the ball really not to go straight. If I've been lucky to buy two different gamepads that normally give seemingly absolutely straight line in TGC1 and TGC2, I can imagine it possible on every shot of a round at least with some other controllers sold maybe even in the hands of more skilled player than me.

I'm using a PS3 gamepad and even when I hit a crunching shot there are still slight jaggies in the line. I have NEVER had a pure straight line. Maybe my pad has a higher Y resolution than your pad/s who knows. My point is that regardless of this, if someone has a pure straight line with every shot over 18 holes there's definately something fishy going on. i.e they are cheating!

My first one which worked very good in TGC1 was XB1 stylish Gator Claw gamepad for PS4 but after countless hours of playing it didn't swing many times at all anymore. Now I got some also quite inexpensive Wired Controller for XBox One and Windows. I use left analog stick on upper corner, both feel some more stiff than default PS4 or XB1 ones but are still sensitive enough for nice putting. The gamepads are wired, have usb cord. I've won an official tournament with both although in TGC1 it was a weekly handicap one if I remember.

And now when I play again with player clubs not tour ones after long time it's always completely straight, just one line was very curvy and the ball hit water on first round. :)
Changed back to tour clubs for second round and just perfect straight lines so far and not using or used any cheats on this game ever.

[Janyha]

The results:
1. round: 66, Player clubs
2. round: 67, Tour clubs (can hit further but less forgiving with tempo misses)
Place 6/12 at the moment (Pro-Am official society tournament)

Almost all swing lines were totally straight, just one very curvy on first round and one not so curvy inside red on second round. So if you believe me it's very possible to have a perfect straight line round in this game without any cheats, you just need to have a right controller.

[Janyha]

Now there were more than one not perfect swing lines on both rounds and I had some serious trouble moments too. (tree and zero shots, putt over green)

Pro-Am official society tournament (-7)
1. Round: Tour clubs, 71 (-1)
2. Round: Player clubs, 66 (-6)

Player clubs gave me luckily even 156 yards hole in one, 28 feet putt in the hole and last shot hole out from green side bunker. Anyway these clubs seem to give better result if swing tempos are not always perfect.

[Janyha]

Ok, think I did it now if not before. Absolutely perfect lines on every shot of a two round tournament without any cheating thanks to my XBox One gamepad for Windows. I used player clubs and didn't even take the lead. The handicap will probably go over +10 soon and can't compete in that society anymore. :)
