Firaxis has
Released a New Patch for SimGolf
Firaxis Games has just released a new patch
that tweaks and enhances the already fun and addictive
gameplay of Sid Meier’s SimGolf. The new
patch, v1.02 (which can be downloaded at
http://simgolf.ea.com/help/patch2.php ) adds features, improvements and
fixes including:
-Removed 50 year limit for required
retirement.
-I.M. Picky should now visit courses more
often.
-Gary Golf (or whatever you name your golf
pro) no longer loses skills when buying a new course.
-A better system for placing landmarks has
been implemented. Free landmarks now appear in your landmark menu when
Ivana donates a landmark, or when a happy ending
occurs on your course.
-New ability to cancel a match or tournament
(use the ‘wrench’ icon on the interface to access this).
-You can pick up a golfer and move him/her to
other locations on your course, or even to the clubhouse to eject him/her.
This is done by clicking on the eject-golfer icon after clicking on the
golfer.
-J.P Bigdome will
now offer more cash if he likes your course.
-Faster scrolling on member report screen.
-Tees and Holes can no longer be removed
during a tournament, though other course elements may still be altered,
placed, or removed.
-You can press keys 1-9 (top row of keyboard)
to jump to the corresponding hole. If the hole is already on the screen, this
will bring up the hole report. Press the keys shift
1-shift 9 to jump to holes 10-18 on the ‘back nine’.
-Increased difficulty at "difficult" and
"impossible" levels as now golfers sometimes feel their partner’s pain.
-Fixed saved game issues with Themes (ie.
themes should now load automatically when a game that was saved using a theme
is loaded from the load game menu).
-Numerous interface and reporting screen
tweaks have been made.
