andyson:How major a change would it be really?
Nope I hadn't forgotten this.
However just changing a dot on a ball like in Tiger Woods - yes it is a piece of cake, as is simply changing a stance and moving the ball to suit that stance.
That will not make the game any more challenging, in fact it would make it much easier (and THAT was the downfall of TW).
IMHO it would need to have grip changes in addition to moving the stance and the ball placement, but perhaps have exaggerated margins of error if you get it wrong.
Then the swing plain is ALWAYS the same playing this game - that singularly is the biggest difference between having a realistic simulation.
I am an OK player in real life (well was lol) but in all fairness the swing is/was never exactly the same.
We do not need anything that will make the game any easier - just moving a dot or stance will.
