Use of Controllers in PGLS tournies

[buck]

It's almost like some people don't read the thread or other comments and just "post".

lmao

Unless you are playing 3C with the meter marks turned off you're using a swing aid, which would never be allowed on a real golf tour. From the perspective of those who play RTS that's an unfair advantage (commonly referred to as a cheat). If PGLS were to set up the tournies with the dots turned off on the swing meter how many monitor screens do you think would have the dots marked on them. People who live in glass houses.....

Spot on Joe and yes you would see the dots on the screen. Yes it is an aid even if they don't want to admit it.

I can see the dots on the screen but I still cant hit them perfectly all of the time. Heck, I can't hit them most of the time. With a controller you CAN'T miss. Big difference.

You obviously have never tried a controller and have no idea of what you are talking about. Take the time and read the whole thread and you will see that a controller is no picnic and we who use legit equipment have no chance against 3C players. Nothing worse than posting without knowing the facts and just shooting off and you didn't read the thread or you would have known all this.

I find the 3-click very challenging and frustrating but never boring. I never realized I was cheating using dots either

Anything the game allows is legal. However. Steam allows a certain type of Controller to be adjusted so it nearly hits a 0.1 to 0.3 shot every time. We 3Clickers usually miss 0.5 to 2.5, a perfect 0.00 snap is a rare occurence.

As for dots on the meter, they are included in the game at all levels of play. I personally voiced my opinion a long time ago about Tour Pro not having dots by default. Dots do allow a player a big advantange.

As a Tour Pro player I do not use dots on the meter. I am hoping IF PG2 arrives they take away dots for Tour Pro.

This is the colored meter I use. We can customize the color of the meter which is nice, nothing else though. How to change the colors is posted in the Perfect Golf forum.

Totally agree, or an extra level to incorporate this and no grid, just BLI?

[Greensboronclion]

Affo I really have never liked the grid and prefer the BLI just as I did in Links and wish the grid was eliminated for all events. As for the dots I believe they are a huge help and won't lie when I do play 3C here I use the meter with dots also as it's in the game so it's legal but just because it's legal doesn't mean it's not an aid.

Not using the dots for those that do is just another ego trip. Removing them would be no game breaker after so many hours in game they are implanted into your brain anyway, im sure if i played with no dots i would easily know where they were on the meter . Or as previously mentioned a little mark on the monitor would do the trick,then another can of worms would be opened and more cheat accusations would follow . As far as the BLI and grid go remove them both for tour pro that would be a game breaker .
