I don't understand why everyone wants online play. When people went to the arcade or sport bar there was no online play, these are not a play station period

No, in bars you played your friends. We still want that experience to be able to play with our friends, some who live across the country. That's spirit of competition is what made Golden Tee so popular.

I have the XL of this. The game that gets played the most is the bowling. Even though it is simplistic, it is fun and not too long. The actual golf games you’re stuck playing 18 holes. I wish they could have let you just play 9. 18 just takes too long if you have a few people playing. Great review

Did you ever fix your XL trackball? Mine works well enough, but at certain angles it's just a little chunky. I think my ball actually has a deformity in it. 😂

10/10 on this review James - very well done ! I am not picking it up because it doesn't have online play. Any chance of that being patched in ?
@JamesHatesEverything3 ай бұрын
I doubt it will be patched in, but dont see any reason it couldn't if they engaged a known dev team like CodeMystics to do it. Who knows what licensing limitations may be in place preventing them. Can't imagine they dont recognize the value of online play with this cab given its integral part of their other games.

Nice review, James. Looks like the best version to buy, at least from Arcade1up. Sounds like the track ball is better than the XL version, but still not great, is that right? I also would have liked to see online play, but it’s not a deal breaker for me. I could see myself picking this up on sale.
@JamesHatesEverything3 ай бұрын
Trackball seems fine. I need to see if it can be calibrated to see if that fixes thensligt drift when rolling backwards or if others using mine have the same issue. It's slight and didn't affect game play, other than maybe bowling.

@TheCornerCade definitely hit it, you can see in one shot. However, if you use say both thumbs to swing the ball in a more finesse way, it works better anyway. Hitting the screen doesn't really bother me, I always hit the screen on the big ones back in the bar days too. So it adds to the nostalgia lol.
