There are a few issues about profile golfer building that I don't think most players understand . . .
When you are building your profile golfer, PATIENCE is very important in regards to how you use your skill points to raise your attributes. Here are a few suggestions, this is the BEST way to use your points to stay balanced and to complete the process the fastest way.
1) Use ONLY power points to raise your Power attribute, DON'T use ANY General points, power always finishes first of your attributes. Most players use WAY to many General points for power, then it takes SO much longer to finish the job.
2) Accuracy, Ball Striking & Approach all use the Accuracy points, so it takes the longest to finish, this is where you use ALL your General points & all your Accuracy points to raise these 3 attributes evenly.
3) Use ONLY Spin points to raise your Spin attribute, DON'T use ANY General points.
4) Use ONLY Putting points to raise your Putting attribute, DON'T use ANY General points.
5) Use ONLY Concentration points to raise your Recovery & Luck attributes, DON'T use ANY General points.
If you have enough patience to follow the rules above, you will build up evenly & faster than just using points anywhere. When you are almost complete, sometimes you may have to use General points to finish up an attribute.
When you are not shooting for the pin, ALWAYS use spin to get your spin points, if you don't use spin, you don't get spin points . . .
On every shot you take that is over 90% power, you get power points. If your shot is under 90% power, then you don't get ANY power points. If you keep this in mind, then you get WAY more power points while you are playing. If you need to back down to an 80% shot, perhaps just drop a club instead, then fire at 100% so you get power points. Many players use WAY to many General points to build up they're power, because they are NOT getting enough power points to build it very fast . . .
When you max out an attribute, from that point on, you get LESS general points. Each time you max out another attribute, from that point on, you get LESS General points. With this in mind, I never max out any catagory until I have them ALL to 90%. I try to close out almost all of them at once, this way I continue to get more General points, longer.
I would also like to point out that since I did not want to spend a lot of time building my Profile Golfer. I turned on the 'All Play' feature and completed ALL my Challenge events with this on. Then I turned off 'All Play' and began my PGA pro events to complete my Profile building. When I finished the 'April Fools' day event, my Profile Golfer was at 100% in all attributes. This took me about 24 hours of total play.
Just some basics,
TheJokker
the only thing i'd like to reiterate is DEFINATELY do not use any general points for putting!! i left with over 25,000 putting points after my golfer was maxed!! Follow these instructions just as The Jokker wrote them.
after you get your golfers skills to 100% check out NCD's website, tigerwoodspgatour.com/ to show you what items to buy in the pro shop to get your attribute bonuses.
thanks again Jokker!!
hope this can help some new guys!!
