Cobra045:
You know in the real life game it is possible to hit a different club other than your putter on the green. I've attempted a flop shot on a kidney shaped green several times to get over an obstruction and all the ball does is squirt a few inches rather than act like a typical flop shot.
There are also several other shots that should be possible, but the game does not allow. For instance with a 10-20% lie in a fairway bunker using a hybrid club all you achieve in WGT is a dribbling excuse of a shot. In real life I can hit this shot virtually the same distance as if I was in the first cut of rough.
The game would be a lot more fun if you weren't so restrictive on the type of shots available.
NEWSFLASH !!!! This isn't real life golf it's a video game, and a damn good one at that. I have played many video games and none are 100% realistic. In driving games cars don't react like they would in real life and don't sustain crash damage. In FIFA Football the randomness of player ball control and movement can't truly be replicated.
So if you are on the green you are unable to play a flop shot....So what !! If you know that then don't play it. Unlike the poster above I also have seen many players hit woods from bunkers but only if the ball is sat right on top of the surface, any ball with any part buried them irons are their options.
Look at the game for what it is....a FREE source of entertainment. If you yearn for the accuracy of real life play then it's simple, put your clubs into the back of your car and drive to a course and play for real. This game continues to develop and I'm sure in time you may see progress on what you are after but until then just enjoy what it has to offer.
