The patch actually adds a lot of meaningful improvements outside of the fresh control scheme: a fast-play presentation system will get you across the course quicker than before, and improvements have been made to the green putting grid – as well as the camera in certain awkward situations. All this stands to make an already outstanding sports sim better than ever before, and we’ve included the patch highlights below.
