As for the ones that a truly 1-try, no restarts...first, if they are on Live weather then they can set up a practice round with mulligans on and they will get the exact same winds as the tournament so they can plot and plan without actually going into the tournament. Otherwise if it's 1-try no restarts and not Live weather then they would need multiple ids (easy to do on PS3, cost $ for XBox) to work the system.

This was an xbox single try no restarts and the said player was top there as well, I am inclinded to think that this could be a leglit score as nobody is going to buy like 10-20 accounts sign in and out each time NO WAY I don't buy that lol maybe it was just luck not sure really he was only one shot clear i think. (It was not live weather either!)

You only need two accounts! One account, your "dummy" account plays the single-try event and then saves the entire round to their local clips, or even Gamernet. They can then play the local clip round with the exact wind, tee, green, pin setup and map out the course at their leisure. You could even save the round one hole at a time to make it easier/quicker to map each hole. It's not that hard to imagine, it just takes time and dedication. 99% of us don't have that time to devote and therefore, 1% of the gamers are always at the top and the rest of us usually fight for a good placement.

If you take note of where you aimed the 1st time through and how much you missed by then you simply adjust by that much on your 2nd run and voila....drano.

BS...and u know it.

Read Oblong's & Buddha's posts in the last few pages and it should be very simple. Those with time to spare will shoot better rounds than the rest of us that have lives outside of the game. I don't begrudge these players that shoot these low scores....I just play the best I can and then it is what it is.

This is why I play mostly the Extreme events....pretty hard to map those out...

This is an excellent idea...if your not cheating you have nothing to hide and if you are that good I would love to watch the round. Also in a nine hole par 3 round this week people were scoring -19..if your not cheating explain that one. -18 is getting a hole in one on every hole which I just don't think is possible so how the hell do you get -19. I have no problem with someone having better skill than me but lets also be realistic when people are hitting hole in ones on every par three every single time they play than something is not on the up and up.

This is really depressing.

EA Sports is the biggest producer of sports games, yet continually ignores cheaters that ruin the entire experience for everyone.

I bought Fight Night Round 4, loved it, went online and found non-stop glitchers and cheaters. I bought Madden 10, loved it, went online and it was riddled with cheaters. I now buy Tiger 10 and it's filled with losers using modded controllers and cheaters online.

No one seems to get the picture at EA, but I guess it's because we all keep buying it.

Have you not read anything in these forums?

You guys have no clue how easy this game is and all you think is that if someone is putting up scores that you couldnt possible sniff in your dreams, your first ASSumption is they must be cheating.

Hilariuos, you guys need to read up, practice up, or just go find a new game to play.

I think what people need to realise Andy is that no one is cheating and put and end to the cheating accusations. What people need to understand is that this game can be played in two ways. It can be played with an after market controller, mapping of courses and fine tuning the hole out shot. Then there is TW with a standard controller which makes all of the above slightly more difficult to reproduce with consistent regularity.
The first option is fun to do as is the second but with a lesser expectation to shoot bionic scores. It could also be argued, when it comes to mixing it up with people online, because of the disparity between the two controllers, the chance to compete from the outset is somewhat less than equal. I have both types of controller and I enjoy the differences between the two. At some point players of this game have to admit the differences and adopt an honour system. EA needs to consider creating separate tournaments for stock controllers and after market controllers so that people can compete like for like - surely - if the issue is so contentious and upsets so many why can't the two be separated?
I do wish people would stop the accusatory threads which are, emotive at best, and simply not true in the majority of cases.

You guys really are clowns. Why do you love to tout the fact that you were dumb enough to spend the money on an aftermarket controller?

The point is EA Sports itself does nothing to level the playing field online. Use your little modded controllers if it makes you feel better. But when you're scoring ridiculous scores unobtainable to people using stock controllers, the issue needs to be fixed. Using modded controllers remove 1/2 the actual skill required in the game.

I'm not saying modded controllers are cheating, just pathetic. EA should distinguish between the two online.

There is also a bad trend for rank boosting and other cheating tactics in all EA Sports games, which was my point.

1. my controller costed 9 bucks compared to my 6-axis which was like 60 bucks
2. ea has held 100% sweet spot live tournies, they've held tournies where u can only use a pga pro, theyve done numerous different tournaments, the tiers, etc.
3. your complaining won't stop anything, not trying to be a dck but do you honestly think that you coming in here and complaining is going to stop people for doing it?

Ive shot those "impossible" scores with a stock controller and have won dailies with it its not really the controllers that are your issue its your skill

sorry to put you out there ccc, but (edit: to be fair you play anyone as far as i know, high or low level, ive got multiple accounts and anytime ive EVER clicked on you played, kudos)

PSN: cccgolfer08 ...hit me up
my six-axis only psn is: SICK__axis (2 underscores...hit me up)

try him out on the regular controller. then re-evaluate. and their are many others.

Actually -19 would be a hole in one on every hole as the 1st hole was a par 4. It wouldn't be that hard for someone to do if they wanted to spend the time. It was set winds which never changed and unlimited tries. It's just a matter of mapping out every hole and making a HIO on each one....-19 was the perfect round and it's EA did ask "Can you make a HIO on every hole?"....quess someone made it their goal to do so....

1. my controller came with the system, as did yours if you bought any xbox package sold in the last 4 years. $9 must be a typo, because everyone knows a legit aftermarket controller costs $60-$70 depending on the type.
2. they still haven't spent the time to figure out how to differentiate between a standard six-axis and an aftermarket controller WHICH WOULD THEN MAKE THE ARGUMENT POINTLESS.
3. I'm not trying to stop anything. It was a rant because I'm just very sad to see how the continual lack of foresight has caused the casual gamer to be handicapped if we don't feel like spending another $60.

lmao. right!

hahahah...you make me laugh so hard cause you obviously haven't read anything on these forums...i can find you a link to my controller if you want...they really are going for like 9 dollar...heres actually a link for 2 of them for 17 bucks buy it now if you dont believe me

if you actually read anything on the forums you would see that ea has already explained that they can't tell between controllers. pretty sure that a company can't ban use of a company's controller to be used read up before you start rambling on about a buncha * that isnt true bud

lols you are one of those funny little girls aren't you.

Anyway, if you read my posts I don't want them to ban anyone's controllers. Differentiating between the two fixes the problems and allows separate stat tracking. It's not that they can't, it's that they won't.

Carry on lil lady
