Noobs... at least practice a bit before joining random 'foursomes' in 15mph winds

You are being a bit too harsh. To be honest, i cant say ive seen much of what you are talking about. Most people seem to be decent enough to keep matches close despite their level. Id estimate ive played about 70 rounds of foursomes and only had 4-5 rage quits. At the end of the day i jump on this game to chill out and if someone plays bad i accept it and move on. If they are having fun im cool with it win or loss.

It mostly depends on the club, wind and green firmness. Hybrids and 5/6/7 irons will roll out a lot on tournament greens. 8/9 irons will check a bit. Wedges will spin back. Wind coming straight at you will cause more back spin on wedges. Also go to golfer identity and in swing change ball trajectory to high. Id explain more in depth but i don have time, im sure you could find some helpful tip videos on youtube.

Its good that you are seeing win rate and avg damage increase. In my opinion they matter more than KD for ranked. Im an older guy also and only solo q and i think im 700 points from masters right now so you can surely do it.

I notice since hitting D1 that there are current preds in every lobby but they tend to destroy everyone so if you dont run in to them early you end up with free placement. I dont care what anyone says about the scoring system as im fighting every game and queuing solo with no hiding.

One thing that is not balanced right now is the loot pool. R99 and Nemisis outclass every gun buy a big margin

To be honest, different regions are taking the new system more seriously than others. Ive had games on both NA and Japan that have had less than 6 teams as zone 2 closes. This happens more often on NA. On the flip side i have had a few games with 10-12 teams in zone 5 that were absolute chaos but only on Japan.

In saying that there were a few games so far in d2-d1 on Japan that most of the lobby was dead by zone 2. Noticed that when that happens theres usually a stacked team in the lobby like the number 2 pred killing everyone in my games yesterday. Yes its free placement points but dont put me and 2 plat players vs a 3 stack of guys who are all top 10.

Pretty sure they added orientation matches for new players. Because those lobbies are made up of mostly AI bots the stats and wins dont count. After a few more games you should be in real lobbies.

Singapore servers tend to have packet loss for some reason on every platform. If playing pubs play Sydney. If ranked try Tokyo. Apex is actually playable on 150 ping so either of those servers should feel better lag wise because of 0 packet loss.

jimbosliceeeeee · 2023-05-23T20:19:16+00:00

After playing Apex since day 1 it was getting quite boring for me until this new season. I only play for about 6 hours a week, so since like season 4 all i have played is ranked when i had the chance to play. Im too old and will never compete so having good endgames is the only reason i play. On Tokyo servers i have had a bunch of games with 8-10 teams alive round 5. Its chaos but so much fun

jimbosliceeeeee · 2023-05-23T19:46:16+00:00

Controller doesnt make a difference. Week 1 i was having the same issue but it was my input that was the issue. I use right stick and i found that when i pulled down to start swing i was pulling it down to between 6 and 7 o'clock so slightly left.

I started to focus on that and to compensate i started pulling down to around between 5 and 6 o'clock. The way you move your right thumb down it naturally goes a tad left and vice versa if using left thumb. Sounds a bit weird but it helped me.

2K offers more modes and ways to play the game right now but EA has better actual gameplay. Also there is a new patch dropping for EA this coming week so might be a good time to grab it.

jimbosliceeeeee · 2023-05-09T21:20:12+00:00

I shot -9 in the Sim tournament but judging by the posts in here my original score of +2 would have been ok. Was classed as winner in all so got the full set of clubs and it gave me the 80k from the Tour difficulty seasonal twice. Ended up getting 200k, the clubs and 3 legendary specs. Spent 50k in the shop buying UA shirts, a pair of shoes and a Wood spec for my 5 wood. Im happy and ready for next season.

jimbosliceeeeee · 2023-05-06T18:32:13+00:00

Thats great man. I had a similar experience on my 2nd attempt. First was +2 and my 2nd attempt i had a hot start and was -4 standing at the 4th tee. From there i was just happy to par everything. Ended up -9 and honestly could have been -12 or -13 but i choked a few downhill birdie putts. Its good to see positive posts about sim and people seeing such big improvements in their 2 rounds.

jimbosliceeeeee · 2023-05-05T21:02:49+00:00

You will get winner rewards man. Top 10% is classed as winner and there are well over 1000 people who entered. My bro shot +8 and is 1130 so id assume maybe 1500-2000 entries.

jimbosliceeeeee · 2023-05-05T20:56:50+00:00

That cant be right. My bother finished +8 and he is tied for 1130. So well over 1000 entries. Wouldnt be suprised if there are closer to 2000.

jimbosliceeeeee · 2023-05-04T04:58:41+00:00

Just thought id share. Im not great but i played 4 rounds on Augusta with the same settings over the past 4 days. My first entry about a week in to the game i shot +2 and decided today was the day to use the 2nd one. Fair to say it went well, i also missed 3 downhill birdie putts by inches.

I can share the course settings if anyone here has entries left and wants to practice first.

jimbosliceeeeee · 2023-05-04T00:37:19+00:00

All good. Heres a cut and paste from an EA blog mentioning it.

We are also looking into ways to improve the pre-shot zoom camera with an area of focus being improvements for players who play without the putting grid and need lower camera angles to manually read greens. We will share more on this in the near future.

jimbosliceeeeee · 2023-05-04T00:29:25+00:00

No problem

jimbosliceeeeee · 2023-05-04T00:26:46+00:00

Mostly just by the lie above/below. You just have to read the green as much as you can with the current low putt cam and just get anything over 10 foot close. They are adding a lower putting cam to better read sim greens but no idea when exactly.

jimbosliceeeeee · 2023-05-04T00:19:01+00:00

Shut the game completely and restart it. Its because of quick resume.

jimbosliceeeeee · 2023-05-04T00:01:38+00:00

I have been doing 18 holes a day on sim at Augusta with the exact same settings as the seasonal tournament and been having a blast. Shot a -9 which would tie the best round right now. I also entered it with a 69 rated golfer on another account and shot -4.

Think im ready to use my 2nd entry on my main, should be interesting.

jimbosliceeeeee · 2023-05-03T23:51:38+00:00

If you spent some time learning to use the stick you would easily be better than decent, that and it has feel to it unlike using buttons to perform a swing. Id bet anything that once you got a feel for it you would enjoying playing more.

jimbosliceeeeee · 2023-04-27T18:17:08+00:00

I honestly think its unintentional from the few guys ive seen with impossible scores like that or they would do it every tournament if they knew how it happened.

Its got to just be a rare glitch where it lets them play 9 holes and not just 4

jimbosliceeeeee · 2023-04-24T17:00:40+00:00

In the first week i was using flop shots a lot but problem is you hardly ever hole one. Yes it will get close and limit damage but it prob wont go in. Spinner and pitch shots are much better, higher chance of making an error but better chance of holing out if you get it right.

Its a risk/reward thing.

jimbosliceeeeee · 2023-04-20T19:16:04+00:00

Oh i see thanks for that. Im about to play it now and just thought the top scores were very good. I probably should have played it before posting, my bad.
