GAMEPLAY SETTINGS
Before you step foot on the course, select SETTINGS from the main menu, and then
GAMEPLAY SETTINGS to adjust the Difficulty Level. You can toggle the Swing Stick to swing
with or ; the opposite stick is then used to control the Strike Meter. You can also create
a Custom Difficulty by adjusting Gameplay Settings individually.
DIFFICULTY LEVELS
There are five Difficulty Levels: Amateur, Pro, Tour Pro, Tournament, and Simulation. Each
Difficulty Level gives you a preset combination of the Swing Difficulty, Swing Meter, Ball Spin,
Putt Preview, Green Grid, Strike Meter, Zoom to Aim, Wind Display, and Shot Shaping settings.
The higher your difficulty, the more challenging it is to score under par. Adjusting the difficulty
also modifies the Status Points and Experience Points (XP) multiplier. The more difficult the
settings, the more you will earn.
SIMULATION DIFFICULTY
The new Simulation Difficulty gives experienced players an immersive challenge. Simulation
Difficulty sets Swing Difficulty to expert and turns off the Swing Meter, Green Grid, and Zoom to
Aim. By eliminating these particular HUD features, Simulation Difficulty focuses your attention
on the green for the most realistic golfing experience possible. You are also required to perform
fade and draw shots off the tee when swing difficulty is set to Simulation.
PRESENTATION SETTINGS
Presentation Settings give you more control over how you view the green and the way the
game is presented. Here, you can adjust Aiming Style, Ball Flight Camera (New Broadcast
Cameras), Switch to Spin, First-Person Camera (when playing with Kinect), Ball Flight Trail,
Putting Trail, Animations, Auto-Replay, Flag Indicator, Speed Play, and Metric. These settings
let you play a speedy match with few animations or a more cinematic game that mimics being
at a real tournament.
