IsaacPlaystation321 Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 (edited) I seem to notice that it doesn't cover everything in the game. like for instance; It doesn't say what does the triangle, circle, X and square means on the score sheet neither the number of strokes in different colors along with the tiny number on the right it doesn't say about when holding the front and back screen in the same time it gives you a yellow line and I don't even know what to do with it. it doesn't say how to get a better angle at the distance to hit the ball. I want to see where the ball will land close to the green and strategize my club selection to get the best approach Edited May 18, 2013 by IsaacPlaystation321 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyanide Breath Mint Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Is there a question here somewhere or are you just info sharing? Sorry, I'm confused. Can you expound on this a bit please? Are you looking for info on the game controls/mechanics or simply to share what you've discovered that wasn't on the manual? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evermeet Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 It doesn't say what does the triangle, circle, X and square means on the score sheet neither the number of strokes in different colors along with the tiny number on the right The symbols displayed on the score sheet at the end of each hole indicate your score relative to the par score. A red star is a double eagle, a double red circle is an eagle, the orange circle is a birdie, the green bar (minus sign) is par, a blue triangle is a bogey, the blue square is a double bogey, and the blue x is a triple bogey (or worse). The large numbers are your total number of shots while the tiny numbers are the number of putts. it doesn't say about when holding the front and back screen in the same time it gives you a yellow line and I don't even know what to do with it. If you are referring to the yellow line extending from your ball onto the fairway, it is just to help you with deciding if that's somewhere you'd like to place the ball. (This doesn't require both front and back touchpads, just the rear one.) Drag the finger to any point you'd like to hit the ball too and it will tell you the distance required from your current position on the yellow line and a green line will appear that shows the distance from the position you choose to the hole. There will also be an indicator in the center top of your screen that shows the change in elevation between your position and the position of the finger. If you are referring to the yellow box that appears when you are teeing off and touch and drag the ball OR when you pick up your golfer at the tee using both front and rear touchpads , it allows you to move the tee side to side and place it in another position. it doesn't say how to get a better angle at the distance to hit the ball. I want to see where the ball will land close to the green and strategize my club selection to get the best approach There are many factors that indicate the angle of elevation that the ball will travel. The higher number the club (particularly in the irons), the more the face of the club is angled. This will cause the ball to fly higher but it will go a shorter distance. The wedges have the greatest angle but the shortest distance. A 2-iron (which they don't actually have in the game) is basically the same as hitting with a driver as it has a nearly vertical face but handles better in rough/fairway than drivers do. The best way to learn where your ball will land is to practice. Here's one example: Assume this is a par 3. The marker is directly on the pin. The pin is a lower elevation than the tee. You hit a perfect shot (power right at the flag, impact is perfect) Not hitting into a headwind. You are going to land in front of the pin and travel beyond it. (Even if you did the super backspin.) If the elevation had been the same, you may have stopped pretty close to the pin. If the elevation had been higher, you would not have made it to the pin even on the roll. This is not always the case, but it is a pretty good indicator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
