This game is really fun. I do wish there was more ambiant noises or misic during cutscenes or golfing though. Is it supposed to be that quiet?

You have to be quiet when people are golfing because they need to concentrate. :ssh: Source: I am a casual golfer.

Also, do the robots pivot their back foot when they follow through on their swing? If they don't, it's gonna bug the poo poo out of me. That's like the first thing you learn!

There were times since this game was announced that I was worried it wouldn't grab me like I thought it should. I'm happy to report I have been not just grabbed, but beaten to a very happy pulp by this excellent game. Good job you two (and McElroys.)

Did the Strokerun but it didn't save as Personal Best. Probably why there is nobody on the leaderboard there. Starting to get the hang of magnet ball, but drat the moon and water physics mess me up bad

I'd be okay with a few robot birds chirping, or even the music continuing from the menu (because it's great)!

Is there a how-to guide somewhere that I can look at? I didn't realize I didnt have to wait for my ball to stop moving before I could move towards it until like the 3rd mission

Probably not, there's no entry for Manual on the PS4 menu or anything, I am guessing they crunched so hard they never wrote one.

I will give a small tip, magnet ball seems to work much better on chip-ins in the air than on rolling putts. Not sure how to make the best of the other balls yet, but that one is really fun. Still there are clearly some that are more often useful than others. Air Control and Boost could probably be sick if you learn how to take advantage.

What I want to know is does the party ball super do anything besides look fabulous?

As much as I liked the announcers the first time, they get to repeat quips pretty quickly even playing solo. Is there any way you can make an option to shut off/reduce the chatter besides the brute force volume control? Or play each clip once per session or some junk?

At least 50% of my shots on a hole will be me putting and having my ball orbit slowly and uselessly around the hole. That's not even just this game, that's every golf game and also real life :( I can drive with the best of them, but I am physically incapable of putting.

Uncle Brad Muir is pretty great.

Need's more music or something going on during golfing besides the announcer voices. Maybe some action music or something.

A basic tutorial or controller button mapping in game would've been nice too... People need to know how to honk!


I'm kinda sad I didn't get any badges besides the early release one. I thought i was a friend of no goblinsssss :(

Four times tonight I have knocked the ball into the stratosphere due to walking over the ball after putting it. One time it landed over 4000 feet away. I'll never be a speedrunner :smith:

I will probably write some sort of small online how-to guide or manual! Unfortunately there's no real concept of manuals for digital games on ps4, but I can definitely write and host my own dang thing. We are also looking into ways to make the abilities more clear in a future update!

We don't have a specific setting for it, but dialogue has its own volume slider in the settings so you can dump that down to remove the voiceover from quickplay.

This may not be a super helpful suggestion but on putting the grass friction can be more than you anticipate, try to aim just a bit past the hole to give it enough oomf. Also, there is ball finesse (top spin, backspin, etc) on the dpad when you're aiming, and it's crazy super useful, try giving that a shot!

So far the only real issues I've had are power control for tap-in range putting and the ball hitting me when doing a high arc chip.

The only issue I have had so far was on one of the moon levels, I was doing a split screen game with my brother; As my ball was passing over a dome, he blew it up, causing the debris to fly in the air and knock my ball WAY far away. That would have been no problem normally, but somehow my ball ended up wedged in between 2 rocks, and I could not get an angle on it to hit it again. It was stuck forever and I had to wait for the computer player we were also playing with to finish so we could leave the course. :(

But all's well that ends well, I still beat my brother by 1 point in the final scoring! :)
