Rework Top-Backspin function / Beta-Version

Dear Golf Community,
with this function you have the ability to set the point of impact of the ball. So the spin and angle of the strokes can be adjusted even finer.

We have now reworked this function, which has certainly not been used very much up to now. We hope to be able to bring even more depth into the golf game.

However, this is a preliminary beta version, which we would like to adapt further bit by bit.

Putting Improvements

Dear Golf Community,
Putting has always been a tricky business that can be a source of frustration. That is why we have decided to thoroughly revise this area once again.
The danger of lipping out is now reduced much more with decreasing speed. Also, the speed when the ball runs out again, as is realistic, is greatly reduced.
On the other hand, it is now again possible for the ball to bounce over the hole at high speed. However, to avoid unnecessary frustration at close range, there is a safe zone from 2 meters where this no longer happens.
But we are thinking about an alternative solution for the close range (e.g. an adjustment of the power bar).

Target position on the golf course map

By popular demand we have added the target position on the golf course map. Clicking on the map is sufficient and your player is in compliance aligns itself. We hope that this contributes to a simpler navigation. A tip, if you click behind your current position you can admire your golfer finally from the front:)

new season

Dear Golf Friends,

the last time a lot has happened again. There was a lot of small improvements but also some substantial enhancements. But first we want to sincerely congratulate our winners Season. It was a very exciting round, and in many parts of the world run a head to head. Notice how the winners were, we have our own reward system was introduced. We hope all in-game gift packages have already arrived. We hope that the next Golf Season is as exciting and challenging as the previous one.

The new greens and putting the new system

We have recently worked on a massively improved putting system. The result can certainly be described as successful. Finally, it is possible to Surface flow sufficiently to suggest that the enormous fun on the Green Prepares buoyancy. In this context, we are also all tournament locations gone through and the greens have been revised. The putting is Now a little more demanding but much fairer.

Internal reference system

We have established a new notice and assistance system. It can be seen via the game Tips are distributed on a blue flashing icon that solemn occasion of the Abolition of the bulb, just something similar to this. We will continue to integrate different places all the hints and tips better To allow explanation of the entire system.

The revision of the Power Bar

Due to the fact that the precision of the discount now strong player owned by the Level of training and equipment status for the corresponding groups of bats depends, we have the power strip both visually and functionally revised. The accuracy range widens now analogous for the corresponding capability. Thus has a higher training / equipment value also automatically affect the accuracy of the discount. In this game you can issue very well understand, if one changes his racket between groups. The accuracy range automatically adapts to the ability value. We still have the coating of the discount implemented. If the strike now running strong, it affects the overdraft on the accuracy of the discount. It should therefore insist be taken not to over Power up his tee.

General Balancing

To continue to ensure an interesting and fair competition, we have the System of bats subjected to a range Ballacing. Especially in the lower Level segment, we have adjusted the ranges. As a result, the Training of individual skills is now a greater impact on the game progress. Thus one gets for training in the overall ratio according to more Range and accuracy per skill point invested. This adjustment takes place also at the top by, so that even well-equipped players a little its maximum range had to lose. It should definitely be noted that no one who in the run was well equipped and has played at a high skill level, was at a disadvantage. The range benefits are in fact become even slightly better. Furthermore, you get this update automatically with a better precision and so maybe something similar from the penalty range. We are confident that Ballancing the adjustment to a more interesting and more varied Turnieralttag will perform and look forward to exciting contests.

As always, we thank our golf friends and wish you success and a lot of fun in the new season
