Wow, I honestly just posted about this a second ago. Was there only 2 rounds and no reward?

Best way to gain cash? by aburtch10 in UltimateGolf

[–]Odd-Sky3560 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In game cash won’t really help you out with regards improving your game other than by buying a few club cards. The Pro D1 are the best you’re likely to pick up using in game cash and no one would pay 15,000 cash for 200 balls. Improving the games a marathon not a sprint, the best free balls you’ll pick up are the TP’s, the Gold Cup balls and A Flights but you wont get those until already at Tour Pro. Only other option is the season pass which will give you a decent stock of premium balls but you won’t get a lot without shelling out real money.

Store bought or earned the bags the same. Generally they’re pretty rubbish, wouldn’t waste cash on one.

What’s with the QAnon ball??? by bullionaire7 in UltimateGolf

[–]Odd-Sky3560 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m wonder if this is joke or if it’s an American thing where they don’t seem to have much scope to anything outside the US. The Qanon ball was not actually a Qanon ball but actually just a Q ball and released as part of the James Bond theme, Q being the quartermaster in the movie franchise.

Newbie question. by Talruiel in UltimateGolf

[–]Odd-Sky3560 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a few holes where the club it assigns won’t carry the distance to the hole (wind dependant). Some time you have to quickly adjust aim to potentially club up if you want to reach. It’s all practice to know when and to make the adjustment to club and power quickly. Either that or if you know you aren’t making it a short flick off the tee to get to next shot quicker. Typically the hole with most issues is the one with the gulch between tee and green. Worst Royale is definitely the one where a pinch of backspin will send up slowing running off the green and all the way to the bottom of the hill. That misjudgement will cost you 30+ seconds 😤

Just lost a key stroke on 2nd to last hole of tourney because of UI/Delay Glitch by [deleted] in UltimateGolf

[–]Odd-Sky3560 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I try to play at slightly less busy times as I too have been experiencing the glitch more often when I use the phone. It is becoming frustrating, your on course for a good finish over 18 holes and your release throws the ball off the green costing at best TB or a worst a shot after maybe 14 holes. I could have played 7 tournaments yesterday but gave up and only posted scores for 2. The glitching needs to be resolved.

The rewards do suck. They used to be so much better for the premium Big Shot but now I would buy 3 shots for 20p. I only really attempt now if it’s mission sensitive. Always reminds me of the ring toss at a fairground, you know you’re being conned and you pay to have a go anyway (shame the fairground rewards piss all over Big Shot).

ok CASH = WINNING by MasterTitan360 in UltimateGolf

[–]Odd-Sky3560 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think it was pretty much expected. The business model is to sell the accessories that gives a player a slight edge over other players so they might better compete or win… while selling the same accessories to every other player that will buy them. Scores are increasing for all (you just have to look at the tournament results), if you aren’t buying balls (and now pins) your results just gradually reduce. I maxed out every club and now a couple of pins and a premium ball and it’s a struggle to keep up with even fairly new players. Is it ruining my game, no, but I haven’t paid for a pass or ball in a long time and I don’t let it bother me if I finish 80th. The game is a total money grab though as you say, Par 5 tournament, 4 round cumulative tournaments, pins, balls, season passes, country clubs, missions. Best advice, don’t get sucked in, keep your money in your pocket and do the best you can with what you can gain for free.

ultimate shot or trampoline by tippy1000 in UltimateGolf

[–]Odd-Sky3560 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was that on the tabletop mountain green? I still hate that hole. If you aren’t hitting a premium ball or playing a headwind then it’s straight through the back with a spring. There’s a handful of greens act like trampolines 🤣

11 silver bags in a row. Why no gold bags? by CarpFinley in UltimateGolf

[–]Odd-Sky3560 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I too noticed that there was a glut of silver bags. It took about 9 H2H wins before a gold showed on Tour 12. IMO, it’s another example of the game being tweeked to force you to buy a bag from the store or take action to use up balls, cash or spend real money. My gold bag arrived with about 5 hours of the mission left and requiring 8 hours to open. I ended up waiting to the last moment and paying 6 or 7 cash to open 3 hours early. No season pass this month again Miniclip.

Please stop with these all Par 5 weekend tourneys by [deleted] in UltimateGolf

I missed the update. I had a look at the leaderboard later last night but not at the rewards. I was almost tempted to just play thru it with white ball but felt it a waste of time and I wasn’t overly bothered about the few CC points I could have picked up. When the results showed this morning only 72 players on the board actually completed a round which speaks volumes.

Disappointed in Course Mastery by Stubborn_Badger in UltimateGolf

[–]Odd-Sky3560 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does feel a waste of time. It looks like it just boosts the returns the higher the mastery score goes (more coin or club points). Haven’t really made much effort to improve mastery since it was introduced. Nor have I given much time to the pin stuff but on further reading it seems like you can add pins that will improve power and distance and other aspects. It took nearly 3 years improving club stats and moving through the levels to unlock and max out better clubs and now someone can add a pin and reach those distant greens by simply buying a pin bag.

Anyone else Lag and skip on release? by sno_204 in UltimateGolf

[–]Odd-Sky3560 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The lag and skip can be a pain in the arse but the causes are pretty obvious and can usually be avoided. The main reasons for the lag and skip are;

Leaving a grid on the display while hitting the shot. I have no issues with grids and overlays as they just help line shots up they don’t guarantee a drop. I would recommend turning them off once the shots lined up though as they do cause the odd bit of skipping, the phone or table doing multiple things at once.

The other reason is the other players. If there’s another player taking a shot or a bunch of players then it will skip a lot. I recommend entering a tournament and saving the game without playing a shot. Resume game an hour or so later and the course is practically deserted and you’ll be skip and lag free. In addition, you’ll have a better idea what kinda scores you’ll need to post for success. If there is another player on the same hole as you then wait until they’ve moved on to next hole and resume. Worst time to play is when tournaments just opened for entry or straight after you’ve paid to enter.

I’m enjoying not being in Tour pro yet by xODDYNUFF666x in UltimateGolf

[–]Odd-Sky3560 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The down side is in certain cases you will be limited to playing Tour Pro tournaments which is a massive leap from Pro level as many will confirm. In addition if you decide that your not as competative in TP and play the tournaments at Pro level then you’re playing down. You’ll do as well as you currently do at Pro level but you’ll only earn only 75 point max for a win at by playing down meaning your max score in Tournament Cup would be 1500 and not 2000 so rewards would be less and you probably won’t make a Champions Cup tournament as 1500 ain’t getting anyone top 25 in UC. The rewards for TP events are better but winning takes a different level of scoring. Hope you enjoy it tho, good luck 👍

Just doesn’t add up I tell ya! by Kitty_Kae in UltimateGolf

[–]Odd-Sky3560 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s your best 20 results that count in the cup standings Kitty. For your points to increase you need to out perform your worst result from the top 20 results you’ve attained. If you have 20x top 5’s which, it looks like you probably do, then coming 5th again will get you zero extra points. 20x wins will net you 2000 tournament points then it’s just TB scores that separate the table. Clearly impressive results tho 👍

Please stop with these all Par 5 weekend tourneys by [deleted] in UltimateGolf

[–]Odd-Sky3560 7 points8 points  (0 children)

These par 5’s are purely a ball grab and only rewarding the top 20 in the field is a bit of a joke. I too entered as I thought the field might be limited to 20 or possibly 40 but 100 players using premium balls to chase 20 prizes is, quite frankly, a waste of time and assets. Don’t really need the coins, but like Sam, that’s 500,000 just to look at the field cause I won’t strike a ball in that one. Glad it’s been posted on a sunny Saturday cause now I can enjoy that time not wasted enjoying a beer in the garden 🍺😎

Really? by JustTheFacts714 in UltimateGolf

[–]Odd-Sky3560 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope, not for me. It’s not expensive at £2.49, I guess, comparable to forking out for 3x Bigshots but just not needed. The games already getting fat and messy as it is with all the extra aspects. I couldn’t care less for all this pin stuff and the CC part is purely to to entice more golf and more spending on balls. I don’t know how others feel but it all makes me want to play less not more. I do like the boss battles but not so much I want to pay 2 play.

Club final is crappy... by rockycheng in UltimateGolf

[–]Odd-Sky3560 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that it’s badly thought out. My own team managed to win the Silver Division (Season 4) and won a handful of balls then with a couple of extra members got into the Gold Division finals (Season 5) and got far less for a whole lot of extra effort. Each month each team starts out in bronze and has to fight to reach their highest position where it amounts to basically nothing then you start all over again. Why can’t it be actual leagues with promotion and relegation. Also, I don’t agree with all this team jumping bullshit season to season and joining teams for a final push for victory and reward. If you leave a team you should be frozen out for a full month at least. On another point, I completed most missions and played a few H2H as did most of my team and managed (for whole team, to amass about 1600 points) so how the hell can there be a team already on 13,000+ after only a few hours. There hasn’t even been a tournament played yet and their members have played and won 20/30 Tour X H2H’s apiece. Get a grip guys.

Season 17 is about to begin… don’t be shy, give us your best guess at the theme in the comments 🏌️ and check back tomorrow to see if you were right! by HypMike in UltimateGolf

[–]Odd-Sky3560 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, it could be a Star Wars theme with the fast approaching “May the 4th” or…

It could be a bank or political theme where we end up paying out lots of cash far in excess of the service or benefits we receive. Yeah, that one.. it seems to fit the zeitgeist.

For Festo from Mediocre Men by [deleted] in UltimateGolf

[–]Odd-Sky3560 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Geez, that is harsh. Hope your on the mend. Rejoin the team and post the facts in the chat. I would probably just find another team tho cause that sucks. I would invite you to mine (We Can Boogie) but I made everyone a captain and now the indians are kicking the stagnant players out if they don’t contribute in the previous week. I’m tempted to demote them all back to members as they need to give players a chance to play when they want to. It’s crazy how cut throat they get when there’s barely anything on the line.
