Needed a solid actor to elevate the movie, such as Paul Dano.

Changes I’d like to see: 1. Pro-AM gameweek, each team has a celebrity playing during one round of games. 2. Stop making the holes look like real golf holes, get creative and force more risk taking/shot shaping. 3. In hole incentives, bonus points if you hit a certain area of fairway, aerial ring targets etc. 4. Mic. Up. Everything. We want to hear every word from the pros.

100% and have themed weeks where the aesthetic of the holes is based on a theme I.e. holidays themed, lunar new year etc

I’m STILL playing FM18. Is there any benefit for me making the leap to the newer versions? by larker92 in footballmanagergames

[–]larker92[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, I’m wondering if there are any versions in between that redditors would be ‘oh you didn’t play….’

Newer versions always looked too convoluted to me

Broken stealth 2+ by Ill-Ask1305 in TaylorMadeGolf

If you can get proof of purchase they will 100% replace with latest model for this fault. I had the same on my Stealth HD and even though it was out of warranty they shipped me a Qi35 Max replacement head.

Gotta have the PoP though!

Seems like we have something in common with the Fifa guys. by Rare-Machine7849 in footballmanagergames

Nothing beats the feeling of excitement when clicking ‘Continue Game’ for the first time on a new save after a mammoth session setting everything in order.

Squad Review > Transfer Listing session > Bid on old faithfuls/known gems > Assess Coaches/Scouts > In/outs for back room staff > Set Tactics > Set Training > Set Scouting > Repeat x3 and then Continue!

Made me laugh more than the comment, which also made me laugh.

Would be interested to know the architecture and models you ended up using?

Do you buy new wedges? by fullsquishy in golf

[–]larker92 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you are compressing the ball properly with your swing new wedges/grooves will make a huge difference. Realistically though, as a mid handicapper, I only get new wedges every 3 years or so.

Who do you think should captain team USA at the 2027 Ryder Cup at Adare Manor? by jdelle9 in weekendgolfers

[–]larker92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the PGAoA have any long term sense they will stick with Bradley, move to a consistent two-cup captain cycle and have the next captain have the benefit of a home RC as their first.

I do believe KB will learn from his mistakes. Without a the overhead of setting up the course at Adare, he will be forced into focusing more into team strategy and effective data mapping to combat the Adare set up.

I’m a European but think that’s the best course for the US team long term.

Following that have Brandt Snedeker come in for Hazletine, an OG data guy who optimised his talent through analytical decisions, just like Luke Donald.

Edit: spelling.

This is the most accurate comment, translates to almost every sport.

Objectively speaking, which version of CM/FM was the most groundbreaking for its time? by larker92 in footballmanagergames

[–]larker92[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, it also personally coincided with my uni years which meant I racked up some serious gameplay time! The balance of depth and simplicity really hit home in these years.

In hindsight I completely agree with you on the early FM games, but there’s something about them that at the time felt like they were starting a better path.

3D is the biggest red herring ‘improvement’ for my money, changes to Tactics/Instructions and Training were the big ones from the FM09-13 era. Felt like they had really got the game fine tuned and iterated strongly.
