Her point is that the players she perceives as being the best don't seem to play the mod, and all the lowly second class citizens who aren't capable of beating the best 1.05 players are playing 1.06. Convoluted logic if you ask me. But that in a nutshell tells me that she doesn't quite grasp the point of it all.
Those of us that play the mod are playing it for only one reason. Because we see it a huge upgrade in the realism of the game and that’s why we play Links. Because we are looking for a simulation of golf. If we score well, well, that’s a bonus. But there are many people who play this game for the sheer immersion into the game and the camaraderie of others, and if we never shoot -14 or -17 like some of the fabulous players who play 1.05 from the ladies tees with no wind, we could really care less.
I am no more than an average player but I take exception to being told that because I am, I probably shouldn’t be playing the mod. I play 1.06 exclusively, with champ click, I head off to the back tees, add windy conditions, and break par from time to time, and you might be surprised to find that I probably find that just as fulfilling as others shooting -17. It's amazing that those that want the biggest challenge should be criticized for taking it on, and those that are supposed to be the best look for something less difficult because they enjoy seeing their name at the top of some leader board.
I for one hope those criminals at APCD keep up their dastardly deeds and improving this game even more. I know if they hadn't I would have given it up some time ago. Heaven forbid I might even have taken up TW.....Nahhhh!
Oh yea, just my opinion.
I am not begrudging you the mod one bit, love the mod embrace it give it a pet name make it your own. I am a purest just like people that like old time hockey, I like the game the way it was made or designed to be. Just because I don’t want some half baked piece of software that leaves half my APCD Courses obsolete stuck in my game day in and day out for the rest of my natural born life, does not make me a bad person. lol Your welcome to add the thing to your game feel free to embrace the horror, just don’t force the mod on me or anyone else is all I ask. The more you defend it the more people hate it, its like trying to sell a car with a flat tire. lol
Thanks so very much for posting.
Crissy P/S I would like to say I am sorry you took exception to parts of my previous post but I would be fibbing, I somehow new you would the minute I posted it. lol
Likewise Crissy, I knew you would come back with your exaggerated opinion that all your beloved 2001 courses would now be obsolete. (Heaven forbid we try to get this game into the 21st century) Total falsehood, but I suppose you feel it gives your argument a little more punch. Also calling it half baked software is once again your typical sarcastic tone to beat down something of which you have no understanding, but is actually some pretty darn nifty work. And then again more sarcasm about giving it a pet name only further enforces my point. You really have no argument. Other than, I know, "everyone hates it"
Funny how someone discussing the mod in your opinion is forcing it down ones throat, but you on the other hand feel the need to bash it down the throat of every one that says anything positive about it. My only hope is that your constant ragging will at least interest a few more people enough to give it a try. I'm sure there are still open minded people that frequent this board who will do so rather than simply discarding it because of your argument that "everyone hates it". And as far as everybody hating it so much goes, it seems 99% of the negative comments are made by you and you alone. But as usual, for some strange reason you seem to think “your” speaking for the community as a whole. But the problem is, your practically the only one talking about it. Yet “everyone hates it”.
Only time will tell if the mod truly flies, and quite frankly I couldn’t care less as long as it’s there for me to play. Still it’s important that people realize there is an alternative out there if they feel the game needs some improvement . Question is, why do you try to beat it down so? “Oh yea, I forgot. “Because everyone hates it”.
Oh yea, just my opinion.
once I've said what i gotta say here. I'd appreciate it if Terrell can spell out T-I-G-E-R for me the next time he says sumpin' about him. If I can get through this without huckin' yesterdays soup on my keyboard, he can certainly quit with the "T word" stuff.
Currently, there are more Elite 1.05 players in one tourny than there are "modders" in elite, pro and ammy combined, so for.."the C word" to say most here hate it would be pretty accurate , if not an understatement.
Rendering half of your courses file useless, along with not ever playing F/F green conditions, makes no sense what so ever."Improvement"??......A bit of a stretch....harder??.for some maybe but I've played it and scored the same as 1.05.
Different is all you can say about 1.06 and some people here don't like change, sorry, MOST don't, as the numbers dictate.
I know you never respond to people like me "C word" so please keep that record intact.
