Thu Sep 16 2021 Rick_2121Do not get rid of the SkyFury club. If anything either the Rocket needs to go, or when in play mode only pair up people who are on the same level of play. That way each person should have the option of using the same clubs as the person they are competing against. It’s not fun when I’m on Level 6 and I’m playing against someone on Level 8 and they can reach the green on a par 5 in one shot using the Rocket and it takes me 2 shots to reach the same distance because I didn’t spend actual money out of my pocket upgrading my clubs. Also, I think when playing the daily challenges, the better you do the greater the rewards should be. That way I’m not just getting a Silver pack for getting a hole in one. It should be a Diamond pack for hole in one and at least Ruby for an Eagle or so forth. Great game though. I’m addicted for sure!
Starts Out Good
Fri Jul 19 2019 jjspkdIf you are someone who is looking for a golf game to play for 10 minutes a week then this is a good choice.
However, the logic of the design is deeply flawed. The object is to level up so you can obtain new clubs, courses and so on. In the beginning it is fine. You level up by getting coins that are obtained through opening card packs which are won in solo challenges, Dailey challenges and heads up play. In order to level up your golfer, you must level up your clubs. The developer says each level should take 3x’s as long as the previous to advance. Here is where the problem starts.
There are only so many clubs available to level up. You receive about 70 points for leveling up a club when it cost 1000 coins. The next level is 4,000 then 10,000 and then 25,000. Logic would follow you should receive 1750 in points for spending 25,000 coins. Nope you get 200 points. So it took no more than a week to move a level in levels 1-5. However, I have been on level 6 since March. I have never missed a daily challenge, always finish 1-3 in my clubhouse (rankings from heads up play), and have completed ever solo task except two which I do not have the correct club to do because I can’t reach level 7. I am only about half way through level 6. I feel like I have invested a bunch of time and can’t move any further. Hopefully they update the app and improve on this silliness. If they do I will change the review.
This game made me cry
Sun May 21 2023 THE BES MOOII spent weeks on this game trying to get my rank up higher and higher. When I broke 20k I was so happy. I was on this game for 3 hours one day and I kept on getting little things popping up about something not saving and then I get on the game later to see all of my progress had been lost and there was no other way to sign in because it wouldn’t let me. Whoever made this game I hope that you go to bed tonight and both sides of your pillow are warm. I was about to get in the top 10k and u ruined my life. Now I have to download a different golf game. Hopefully the next one doesn’t delete all of my progress like this one did. This game was so stupid anyway. You beat everything so quick and the holes aren’t even accurate. The tournaments are even worse. Whenever you tie with someone they put whoever did it faster in the best spot. Like what? That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. To whoever made this game; I hope you step on a lego; I hope you stub your toe; I hope you trip infront of your crush; I hope you miss a spot while shaving and someone points it out; I hope you get a big fat juicy pimple on your nose so you look like Rudolph; and I hope you have a stuffy nose. That’s all.
Fun for awhile…then gotta’ pay up.
Mon Dec 20 2021 Virgil Kane Is My NamePlayed this game for awhile. Great graphics and for awhile I was impressed with”realism.” You May get lots of perks (e.g. free club rentals) along the way. But then I hit Level 70 and things really changed. Suddenly, unless I purchased clubs, I was relegated to the basic clubs and things got wildly off-the-charts bad. I’d play the wind and elevations like I always did, but all of the sudden 17-19 mph headwinds would t matter…I’d overshot the greens. Or with very slight headwinds of 5-7 mph, my iron shots would end up unrealistically short. Game has just not been fun anymore & I won’t fork $$ over for it. Call me cheap. Yeh… go ahead. I’ve heard that others have experienced the same thing, which is why they start other accounts. Makes sense… I sometimes would get beat by people at the “hack” level that were ridiculously good and accurate. There’s only one way they could get that good at those levels.. they e plated extensively before, like me, the algorithms kick in & you begin to become wildly sucky. Slices, hooks, putts that I use to easily make suddenly are missed with aplomb. Been fun WGT… time for me to move on to something new.
Disappointing!
Sat Apr 30 2022 bookfreak9This is a game with potential, but in the end is just disappointing and a waste of time (and money if you decide to spend any for upgrades). It could be fun as a version of golf with some fantasy based clubs and play, but in the end leaves you bored and annoyed at the constant barrage for funds and ads. I never expect a game to be free. I actually prefer games where I can pay for content up front and enjoy the experience. This is not that game. It is free to start, but there is no upgrade option. To advance you have to either pay big money (hundreds of dollars on in app purchases) and still watch ads constantly or be patient and spend month (years really, unless you spend significant money) to get anywhere. Without doing either, you will be set up against players with clubs that are far superior to yours and will leave you with little chance of success.
Again, a game with potential, but my advise is to avoid it altogether and not get strung along and sucked into the void hoping for random upgrades that never come or spending hundreds to get there.
Don’t Do It
Wed Oct 23 2019 MisterJoeTruckThis game is a lot of fun to play. I golf I play video games so it’s a good fit.
Having said that save yourself the time and money and do not download it!
My first account was accidentally deleted by concrete during their issue in July that deleted several players accounts. I sent them screen shots and a walk through of what I was doing so they could see what I was running jn to and what I got back was zero help from concrete help desk, their answer was to continue to try and make sure my Facebook was connected. I had invested over $20 into it at that point.
But I still liked to play the game so I started another account and then spent the gold to start my own clubhouse, after 6 weeks our club finally leveled up to level 2. With that level up our clubhouse was supposed to go from 20 to 30 members, this has yet to happen. I contacted support to find out why we can’t add any additional members and their response was “we know this is an issue and we are set to correct it in the 1.7.0 update, they are currently in version 1.6.4 so it will be atleast a couple of weeks”. It is very clear that concrete as a company doesn’t care about you as a player they only care about your money and collecting it while not delivering on some very basic features THAT PEOPLE PAY ACTUAL MONEY FOR THAT THEY KNOW DO NOT WORK!
Do with this info what you will but if I had to do it all over again I would have rather downloaded ANYTHING other than this game or any game by Concrete.
Recent update
Tue Apr 07 2020 Mr.mikeRawtchThis is a good game BUT, here are some things that both the Facebook and Reddit community have been asking for:
1. An actual, viewable Leaderboard displaying the top players (top ranked along with their FedEx Cup points).
2. Either a nerf or removal of skyfury club. This club is so great that I only use two club sets, Skyfury for ALL par 4s and 5s and Lodestar for all par 3s. This makes the game ridiculously repetitive and takes away any strategy involved. Adding new courses/holes or adjusting the OB boundaries may help fix the Skyfury issue.
3. The tournaments added were a nice feature but they happen very infrequently. It would be nice if they were either held every weekend or added as a new game mode. Honestly, competing in the tournaments and the way you guys made them with the scoring AND time taken was a GREAT idea and it’s the only time playing the game that I actually feel like I’m having fun and not just going through motions.
4. I’m not sure what your contract between PGA Tour and Concrete says but even if you guys could generate a few custom holes or even do a competition for hole design among the Facebook group members; that would really revitalize the game.
Finally, I know most of us are teleworking and making a lot of changes and coordinating with a lot of other people to get things done is a difficult thing to do. Please stay safe and continue the great work.
Constantly less shot than struck
Sun Nov 10 2019 Alex’sGrampiI like this but it’s not PGA at all. I believe it must be programmed by non golfing Golf Glash software guys because you all just make the same nonsense changes at the same time and today is among the worst. The unpredictable results may be your golf score result but in a year of play you’ll see how unfair and unreasonable your design is. Each club has a predictable good hit to bad hit of only 10 yards. The game make sand and rough like mud taking far too high a percentage off the shot. A good shot out of rough or sand can be near normal. Also in sand an iron or wood is used with reasonable results. One big problem is the visibility of where the hall is going relative to the hole can’t be easily seen. On a course the line and distance is reasonably know and the flight distance is close to expected with some direction imperfection. In the game plan on hitting the green, I hit a great shot and expect to be on the green then land 15 yds shot in rough or sand that wasn’t seen in flight path planning. In fact the tree was intentionally avoided but I landed next to it. Yuk. Thanks
Very Fun but...
Wed Apr 01 2020 Lt. DingleberryThis game is fun to kill some time and the single player was especially enjoyable, albeit short. 1:1 is definitely addicting when the players are evenly matched.
There are definitely some kinks that may or may not be easily explainable:
1. 1:1 opponents seem to be either world class or abysmal. I’m not sure why there are so few players hitting birdie, par, or bogey.
2. I get the draw of fun and unique physics modifiers but there are really only a handful of clubs that actually benefit the player. All others are useless. Plus no way to get past level 6, I assume without paying. Which might make business sense - so no fault there.
3. How can there be such huge differences in driving distances? I can drive full swing Rampart with 13 power vs an opponent with the exact same club and power rating and they’ll go 575 yds to the green and I’ll 391 even nailing the center. How??
4. I understand you’re basically playing recorded versions of actual players and some of them might be consistently stellar while others just have hugely lucky shots, but what is the logic of pitting players against consistent eagle and albatross recordings? Seems to happen in the middle of level ups, especially in the 30s. I like some impossibly hard competition, but more sprinkled.
All in all, very fun, but not without some puzzling aspects
Great game which handicaps itself
Tue Jul 06 2021 Anonymous45735This is my favourite golf game on mobile and I've tried most of them - WGT Golf and Ultimate Golf's progression make less sense, and the golf on this game is quite a lot of fun. Reminds me of Mario Golf on the N64, but updated for mobile.
However, it's absolutely a pay to play/level up game. Going from level 1 to level 2 is easy but as soon as you hit level 4 or 5, it turns into a complete grind and only with 47 holes to play on at that point. Adding additional holes from TPC Boston or other courses as play continues would be amazing and continue to motivate you to level up.
I'd happily pay several dollars for this game if it let you play 9 or 18 in a solo sitting without needing an internet connection, and would pay for additional content in the form of courses, but as it is outside the actual golf gameplay it's a grindy mess. Fortunately for this game, /all/ the golf games on mobile are grindy messes...
