Pins and XP

CHROMExSKULL · #1 03-29-2012

I just ran out of refills so i wasted 4500 coins on a boost pack thinking i would get refills but it just gave me more pins for other things. The only one I care about is the 5xp, without that I am not getting enough xp after every tournament, its going to take forever to rank up this way. EA is almost forcing me to buy coins with real money which pisses me off, the refill only boost pack cost 15000 coins, that is going to take forever to get. Any suggestions to rank up faster or get coins faster or is this my only option? Now that my power and putting are in the 70s its 2500 xp for one point and without the 5xp pin equipped im not even getting that after a win

I am tempted to unlock the Nike sponsorship though, probably will try and be patient with that since its 560 Microsoft points but I like all the clothes, hats and shoes

Little disappointed in the clubs though, none of them seemed better then the Masters clubs im using now?

on a side note i see that we are ranked 6, very nice! hopefully we can stay in the top 10, cant wait to do some online stuff soon, this will be my first Tiger online

Chrome,

Honestly, at this point, you do not have much farther to go to max everything out. I heard that 100% is not possible this year (Unless someone can say they did) 85% was to be the max with the ability to boost pins and such..

There are so many things to unlock and master, and the distance I am hitting is just fine at 77% power. You can get the X-Stiff shafts for more power, and play the crap out of the career mode.... the 15k for the refills could be worth it... you get 50 refills... i had 19,000 coin... so i did it .....

Basically, im saying having a maxed out CAG is not nearly as important in this version of Tiger as it has been in the last 5 years.. Its more about shot making than raw power. Im not saying power cant help, but im now a couple mistakes away from the Perfect Round.. which is what is leading and winning the live tournies right now... I cant forsee holing out 5-7 shots a round as normal like it was in 12...

This is just my opinion, but I also would work to master a few courses... Great XP and an 8 pin boost pack to go with it..... I had one refill in my fist Mastered Course Pin pack on Crooked Stick....

This year does not feel like a grind as the years past is my point. I actually am enjoying the process and simply not slogging through it because I have too....

Thanks for hearing me out on that one..

you get 50 refills? I thought it said for the 15k you get 10 refills?

I planned on a taking a break from Gears but i just read its double xp this weekend so i need to get on that, im a 98 and need to re up

ill make sure i at least get a round of Tiger in each day

Im seriously enjoying this game, much better then 11. let me know whats up with the multi player stuff when we get that going? im just a little confused on that, i know we can play each other but how and when do we play other clubs and how many of us can play another club at 1 time?

When online, if you see members of the Club in Party Chat... join in.. We have gotten our objectives for Head to Head Play that way... Ive played against Jaimee, Mokomis, Cutler, Sc11, and of course PT and Ky.... you do need to use the Club Lobby in the CC section of the game for the Head to Head to count...

Once in the lobby, you can hit RB to see the entire lobby with other members of CC's in it and get games there... all you have to do is play a match with other players in other CC's there and it will count towards our H 2 H against other clubs... Hit me up in Chat online if you see me on and I can explain more....

sounds good, i look forward to playing online, just want to do a little more of my career and get ranked up a little more.

im pretty hooked on Tiger as well, my fiancee doesnt care that i game but the past 2 nights she has bitched about me playing Tiger to long and she wanted some attention. Lets just say by the time i was done with Tiger I was to tired for anything else lol

im a huge gears fan, the new maps are nice so go download those bitches, Ill still need to find some time for it but im all about Tiger right now

Pace yourself bro. See for me I decided to have my girlfriend join me so I don't have to worry about getting yelled at for playing, cuz she's playing too! Thing that sucks is that she's pretty good and can beat me
