Anybody play it?

I got it for crimbo but just started playing it. Wondered if anyone fancied an online 9 or 18 holes.

Yup I play it quite often, I'll give you a yell.

I'm playing through it now - not very good at it though

I have 5 people left to do on Tiger Challenge - My stats are at 80%

And I got my first hole in one last night - Much to my flat mates annoyance

I need a LOT more practice. I'm finding it harder than 2006. Just need to stop playing Viva Pinata

Edcase

Also playing it. Very nice it is too. Will add you later, lets maybe set up a 4 player match soon, should be fun!

I loved Viva Pinata til I hit the animal limit, which kinda sucked and feels set very low / restrictive

Iain Young

You can start a new Garden though Ed (with all the same resources / money etc that you finished the previous garden with), so you should be able to have different sets of animals in different gardens (I think - I've not hit the limit yet).

Pretty early days for me at the moment. I heard that your garden gets bigger at a later stage ? Is this true ?

Iain Young

Mine has already increased in size once (by a small amount). Don't know if it will happen again or not...

Shaolin

Yes, i think your garden increases in size 3 times.

Man, you guys must have some serious drives if your reaching a garden, i can barely reach the green on a par 3, lol.

80%! Ive just managed 32%, how much difference does it make to your game when you get that high?

PeteBrant

It does make quite a difference. Power shots are easier to control, you get less shots with hook or slice. I think my longest drive (wind assisted) is 347 yards.

The tiger challenges get quite tricky in places - They stop missing silly putts and you more or less need to birdie/par all the way to win.

Havent even touched the tour season yet.

I tried the tour season and wont be trying again until i get some decent skill levels.

One thing i dont understand (cos i dont read instructions), how do the items you buy in the pro shop effect your game?

PeteBrant

Basically you have you skill limit - determined by the people you beat in tiger challenge, You can rise individual skills to this limit by completing the training mini games at the facility. However, anything beyond the skill limit will go as "unrealised potential" - Beat another tiger challenge oppoenent and some, or all of the unrealised potential will turn into "realised skill" when the skill limit is raised.

So, the stuff you buy basically augments your skills up to the skill limit. Say if the limit was set at 40%, and your current skill in power was 36%, you can buy items inthe shop that will raise it without training, you cannot however, go over the skill limit. Depending on what you buy will raise certain skills. The dots on the end are basically showing what level of augmentation you have on each individual skill.

Ahhh, i get it now, thanks for that. Ive noticed a few changes in the dots after changing some items in the pro shop. Unfortunately, they were backward changes, lol.
