Minna No Golf 5 (Everybody's Golf 5) - PS3

[MikeF]

The nets are on the practice ground which you have to unlock via the challenge mode

Online mode is rather easy, have a look at the translation feature as most of it is covered there

[Jebus]

Have skimmed it, very helpful.

Didn't quite get why my created avatar was such a midget though? Is there something I'm missing.

So how far d'you have to get in challenge mode to unlock practice ground, or is it just a random prize that you get from selected one of the nine cards afterwards?

[MikeF]

Yes, it's a random card, but it is unlocked pretty early on in the game. If you fully complete challenge mode you will get every item that there is

sliding down banisters can look cooler if you hold R1 and rotate the right analog stick

Just starting tier 6 and ZOMG it gets tough! Just managing to scrape some challenges on +3, but still loving it.

When 1v1 online is available, We'll have to have a knockout tourny or a league set up, that's for sure.

I'm up to Tier 8 and after about 5 attempts I've finally beaten the 1st Crown Field tournament!

I still haven't unlocked the practice nets yet, still got 3 balls left unlocked as well, but I do have about 10 versions of each club though!

[MikeF]

I have fully completed the first 9 tiers, got all the clubs and balls for each set of players too

Just need to complete the last 9 or so events on tier 10 to fully complete challenge mode

There is no need to wait for the 1v1 for an ntsc-uk tournie. It is set uppable on strokeplay (though match play does have an extra buzz). Especially if you can filter by friends now.

[hudson]

Is the match play mode still down to come out this month?

By the way, Eurogamer have taken time to review Minna no Golf 5 here

I ordered this last night from Japan. My PSN gamertag is Kilted Moose, feel free to add my name and hopefully we'll get a game online sometime next week.

Be prepared to lose a lot of your spare time. And I mean A LOT. I think this is virtually all 90% of people on my PSN list have been playing for the last fortnight!

Slightly ot but out of interest, where did you order it from...?

So looking fwd to playing it.

I ordered mine from a seller on Ebay, ordered on Thursday Night, arrives Tuesday from Hong Kong.


Loving the game too. Just unlocked Maruyama. Silver peaks is tough. Not unlocked the final course yet though.

I noticed a new screen display this evening after playing an online game with Fastslyfox, its my first online match since the recent update and it appeared after the player heart levelling up display screen.
It was a pink box background and had 3 different number stats, the top was 7, middle was 18 and I can't remember the bottom.

Has anyone else come across this? I don't know whether its related to the online side and whether it displays rankings or something?

[saif]

If anyone can take a pic of it, I'll try and translate it.
