Isn't this frustrating? The data is actually in the game, as you point out later, they just don't give us a way to tap into it.DChaps wrote:Of course, it still bugs me that we can't view a tournament scorecard and see how everyone fared for Round 4 at #15. We should be able to look at our scores hole by hole, round by round, and compare them just like you can on the actual PGA website.
It would be beneficial and interesting to have the ability to call up these stats and sort them on demand, wouldn't it. I would love to look at these stats and compare them to others in the Club, just to see how things shape up. It would be a lot more interesting, IMO.When viewing the leaderboard after each round, I highlight my Gamertag, and then click the yellow "Y" button on the controller for "View Options". Then I just scroll to the "TieBreaker Details" option and click OK. This gives a breakdown of your detailed stats for the tournament that are used to calculate the tiebreaker. Unfortunately, it still does not give a hole by hole scorecard breakdown, but it is better than nothing. Since this tracks cumulative stats for the tournament, I just took screenshots of it after I played each round, which then gave me the ability to have some more detailed round by round stats as seen below.
I find that I still do significantly better with grids and no caddy. I don't know when I can trust the caddy and when I can't. There's somewhat of a pattern to the data he gives you, but I don't know the parameters of that pattern yet. I'm always embarrassed at how many times I try to read the break on my own, and have it totally opposite of what the caddy shows the break to be once I call on himAnyway, now that we are back to the grids on and no Caddy I am sucking at putting again. Which makes me wonder if I still don't actually understand how to use the grids effectively.
He always at least gets the direction right, but usually overestimates the breaks on putts that break more than a foot.I shot a 66 in my first round at Pebble Beach, but I don't feel like I deserved it. I missed a number of putts because I had no confidence in my read or the caddy's read. However, my biggest scoring problem right now is my difficulty in playing approach shots of 40 to 110 yards. I'm having to change my course management so as to not leave myself approaches in that range. I rarely am able to put them closer than 10 yards to the hole. Most of the time I miss them 15 to 20 yards
I bogeyed the 7th hole at Pebble Beach after leaving my second shot 42 yards short of the pin. I flew my pitch over the green and took two to get down from there... (whew!)It may sound like I'm complaining, but I know I can do better at this. I just need to practice and recognize some elements of feedback that I'm overlooking. It's cool that my video golf game presents the same sort of confidence and feel elements that plague me in my real life game. I think that's what's keeping me engrossed in Tiger 13 more than anything else.
I don't know if the biggest part of your problem with this is the same as mine, but a lot of the problem I have with these under 10 foot putts is the goofy-ass waggling the golfer does with the putter at address. It's hard to gauge when the movement I'm seeing is a result of my input or just the random waggling the golfer is doing. Where does EA Sports get the idea that is representative of real life? Even a 30 handicapper doesn't waggle the putter like that at address 
Really... I wish I could hit a 3-hybrid 220 yards out of a half buried lie in a fairway bunker! I do however respect buried lies in greenside bunkers.
