I didnt really put much thought into it. I dont really care either way i just figured that it was coming eventually and so i assumed it to be true.

If Sony would limit PSN usernames to ONE per IP address, they would go a long way towards stopping the abuse. However, they can't stop users who have 2 PS3's, just like MS can't stop users with 2 XBox Live accounts. They certainly aren't going to tell users they can't buy a second PS3/360 or PSN/XBox Live account if they are so inclined....

The "vote by playing" tournaments have ended and I can say at least on the XBox side it was 2 to 1 in favor of single-try events. The landslide was the same for all modes - amateur, pro, and tour pro.

With that data, the next question is will EA start giving us more of those type events? Right now there are FAR more multi-try events than single-try, should it not be the other way around (or at least equal?).

At the very least, all Tour Pro and Extreme events should be single try.

Since Tour Pro & Extreme is all I play, I agree 100% that these 2 types of Tournaments need to be single-try only.
Also I would love to see Live Weather replace with random winds, eg. winds set at calm,breezy or windy.

Third the motion to create all Tour Pro and Extreme as Single Try.

Second the motion to set random winds instead of live weather for all Single Try tournies.

I say keep the Live Weather, Heck I shot -22 in Tour yesterday on the 1 try event in 9MPH winds, I was quite pleased!

In comparison to 08, since the distances were closer to TW10 than TW09, the scores never got this low in the daily tourney's with fixed winds. With live weather, there will always be the problem people waiting for the lowest winds. the 1 wind/0 wind glitch needs to be fixed for the most part though.

Single try with random winds, not live weather. Make some tourneys calm, some breezy, and some gusty. Have the winds be random for each round so that you can't map out the round with one ID and then shoot a -30 with another.

Yes. Agreed. That is exactly what is going on. In fact, with Live Weather. You can just play a traditional game mode with your account; map it out; and then play the tourny. As long as the weather doesn't change (at night it rarely does) you are good to go.

Anyone else noticed that the single-try, non-live-weather tournaments aren't showing ridiculous scores (like -18 for nine holes, etc.)?

Getting tired of these ridiculous scores from players that I actually can beat (maybe not often, but can nonetheless) if they didn't have the time and means to map things out.

Let me even those motions out...4th the motion for random winds over Live weather on Tour Pro tourneys.

Jump into all those motions. Ex great point about playing live weather offline to map., Wow that never even crossed my mind. In that case the only way single try will solve anything is with random weather. When you map as i have kinda done on hole 1 before even if never more than 2 times is find out how much the wind is moving the ball. A 1 wind even if the direciton is changed by a few degrees will throw all mapping off. The random weather can somewhat follow live just change the angle/direction by a little bit.

Oh and please dont leave out amatuer for single try. At least the tier events shold be single try.

Yes, a 1 wind will change the shot if the angle changes..... unless.. and here is the important part, the 1 wind is really a 0 wind. Which, on a lot of courses (even Turnberry and * Andy's), at night can and does happen. In fact, on any given day I can find at least one (of the non-DLCs) course in the game with Live Weather that has zero winds.

They have been for the last few days - and people were still shooting -30. Be careful what you wish for.

ya daimo your right but like exigos stated as long as its live weather you can play offline and map the course. The only way to lower scores is random weather or changing the wind by a few degrees. If its single try without the ability to map weather offline the scores will drop some. The best will still be at the top but us consistant top 20 guys may have a shot at it once in a blue moon.

The single try events are the way to go. The only problem i have is that in the daily yesterday when putting on the 18th for my -22 i had my connection go bad and there you go with no score. Ya I wouldn't have won but was gonna be top 30 in teir 10..just a shame. But when it is a single try you will notice some of the higher scoring players either don't play or can't post a good score. Also with the extra accounts my girl and kids play so if they start charging gonna cut down on players on the ps3. Good luck at what you play....KID_KEYSTONE

So, what you're saying is people who live in the same household and game online should be forced to own multiple PS3's?

I don't own a 360, but, can't you have multiple Live accounts on one system (as long as they are paid subs)?
