"I downloaded a pga tour 25/ much easier ;) put it in to edit/make sure everything was how I want it
one event had different types/alt games...
The alternant game types in the app is grayed out/unacceptable
How can I change this?" |
|
"Actually it has 4 different game types in the last event
Ryder Cup... Mostly want to know how to do that and change it and how did he get 40 events in
http://coursedownloads.com/extras/details.asp?id=1276" |
If you are editing an existing calendar, you will not be able to change the tournament type ('Type') within the calendar.
However, if you create a new tournament ('Add Event' button), you can select the tournament type under 'Type' in the 'Format' section.
1. If you choose 'Standard Tournament' you can set it up with as many rounds as you like. I have only tested 3 and 4 round tournaments. When you add the rounds using the 'Add' button, they will be added one at a time and the manual editing of the round will open. You can configure all the 'Course', 'Rules' and 'Conditions' sections. I only tested the 'Stroke' and 'Stableford' options in the 'Type of Play' at the 'Rules' section. For the 'Match', 'Alternate Shot' and 'Four Ball Match' options, I understand that you should configure your partners and opponents in the 'Opponents' section of the event, but I have never tried this in case it causes problems.
2. The 'American Cup' and 'International Cup' options generate Ryder Cup type tournaments. Both tournament types will automatically generate a tournament with 5 rounds by clicking the 'Add' button in the 'Rounds' option: two 'Alternate Shot' rounds, two 'Four Ball Match' rounds and a final 'Match' round. After auto-generating, you will not be able to change the 'Type of Match' in the 'Rules' section for each round. You can edit all other round options. The main difference between the two options is that the 'American Cup' plays rounds #1 and #3 in 'Alternate Shot' mode and rounds #2 and #4 in 'Four Ball Match' mode, while the 'International Cup' plays rounds #1 and #3 in 'Four Ball Match' mode and rounds #2 and #4 in 'Alternate Shot' mode. I usually choose the International Cup mode. The first two rounds are played on the first day, the third and fourth rounds on the second day and the final round on the third day of the event.
3. Selecting 'Match Championship' will create a 4 round knockout tournament in Match Play mode. This means that there will be 16 players competing in a single elimination match play mode. When you add rounds using the 'Add' button, instead of adding a round, all 4 rounds are automatically generated and it is not possible to add or remove rounds. And when configuring each round, it does not allow you to change the 'Type of game' option in the 'Rules' section. This type of tournament could be a 'WGC Match Play Championship' style tournament. Anyway, with some testing I did, the tournament was set up perfectly and the calendar worked fine. But a strange thing happened to me during the tournament, I lost a heat and qualified for the next round. For this reason I do not recommend its use in the calendar.

"Well that shed the light on a few things thanks a bunch..
I'll make it easy on myself by use your 2025 as a template
BTW the game uses cpu as a plyer when playing anything that requires 2 or more Rite?" |
Correct, when you play a match, for example in Match Play mode, the game uses a player from the corresponding folder as an opponent, controlled by the CPU, and you can watch him play.
I am also preparing the DP World Tour schedule for the 2025 season and hope to have it ready to upload to the website in the next few days. |

A few other questions. When you create a Ryder Cup type tournament ('American Cup' or 'International Cup'), as with the other tournaments, you need to specify the 'Opponents' folder of that tournament when configuring the event. This folder must be present in the 'Opponents' configuration of at least 2 events before this 'Ryder Cup' type tournament. Otherwise you may get an error message saying that you can't save the schedule. I use the 'PGAChamp' folder to set up the 'Opponents' for the majors and Ryder Cup/Presidents Cup.
On the other hand, one problem with the game is that when you create players, you can only distinguish between American and International players. So in a Ryder Cup there could be non-European players in the International team and in the Presidents Cup there could be European players in the International team. |

Maybe this will not answer your question, but this what i know:
When playing the default PGA Tour career, the game draws players from the 3 different Tour folders, depending on the tournament: PGA Tour, PGA Champ, and PGA Small.
Otherwise, you can create your own custom PGA Tour career/season and custom cpu opponent Tour folders, and then assign the specific players you want to include in any tournament you play. There are restrictions though as the game will randomly choose around 150 players per tournament. So if you want to include specific players in specific tournaments, you need to keep the number of plr files in the Tour folder to 150 or less.
To update opponents for your leaderboard: switch profiles and create a new player, then switch back to your profile. Go to set up a game. In the Select Golfer screen, highlight your new player, switch him from human to computer player, and assign his abilities. Exit the game and locate his plr file, located in Documents / TW 08 / Career / Players. Copy and paste his plr file into the PGA Tour folder, located in Program Files / EA Sports / TW 08 / Players.

If I''m not mistaken, the PGA Tour folder was originally used for the main tournaments of the season. What today would be the ''Designated Tournaments'' and other tournaments of great level. This folder would include all players with a tour card. When you play a season tournament and the opponents are from the ''PGA Tour'' folder, the game will randomly select about 85% of the players from this folder.
The PGAChamp folder was originally used to set up the majors and the WGC. This folder would contain the most relevant tour players and other players who do not have a tour card, but play in these events: top European Tour players, for example. If you play a season tournament and the players are from the ''PGAChamp'' folder, the game will select ALL the players from that folder for that tournament.
The PGASmall folder is the folder that was originally used for the lower level tournaments on the tour, which could actually be alternate tournaments and events on the FedEx Cup Fall series. This folder would contain all players with a tour card, excluding the top level tour players (I don''t know exactly, but for example removing the Top 20), as these players don''t usually play in these tournaments. If you play a season tournament and the opponents are from the ''PGASmall'' folder, the game will randomly select players from that folder. I don''t know exactly what the percentage is in each tournament.
So if you want to play a season tournament with all the players in a folder, you must select ''PGAChamp'' as your opponent in the Career Editor for that tournament, and include all the players you want in that folder.
If you wish, you can also play a single round of stroke play (Custom Game - Stroke) against ALL the players in the ''PGA Tour'' folder. If you start a single round of stroke play and select the ''PGA Tour'' folder as Opponents, you will play against all the players in that folder. |

| I have never used this option in case it creates some kind of conflict in the season. I can imagine, for example, setting up a match play game where you play in pairs and you can specify 3 specific players. Or a single match play tournament where you name your opponent. But I don't know if that's really the case or if it works in the game. |

A new on one hear
I believe Im understanding the folders PGA Tour and PGAChamp BUT I don't understand PGASmall....
And its my understanding the editor's opponents 3 windows is where you put opponents / window 1 PGAChamp, window 2 PGA Tour, window 3 PGASmall. I plain to have tourneys to separate the cpu's into the folders like all 300ish opponents in round 1 bottom 10 will go into the hacks folder then the bottom 50 into the Amateur Tour folder. rnd 2 top 70 into PGAChamp. rnd 3 top 100 go into PGA Tour folder... The rest into Amateur Tour folder...
I do not know what to do with PGASmall... |

Hello, i am not sure about that.
bangus did a file: Updated CPU Opponents (by: bangus)
http://coursedownloads.com/extras/details.asp?id=713
In his description he posted this, not sure this info will help you though,but maybe worth to read:
The three folders (PGASmall, PGA Tour, PGAChamp) do not contain the
identical player files. The European pros and select PGA pros have been removed
from the PGASmall folder, while a handful of older players have been removed
from the PGA Tour folder. If you use these folders for Tour Mode play, youll see
players like Tiger skipping several tournaments each year. Also, older players like
Norman will only appear in a few tournaments the four Majors, for example.
However, the CPU appears to randomly choose the number of players in each
tournament, so theres no way to ensure how many tournaments a player like
Norman will play. He might play in one or two tournaments, and he might play in
up to a dozen.

Well at least it helped to decide what to do with it...
I found that the folder names do not matter just the spelling cuz career edit will complain the folder is not there...
Ill just rename it to International then add them to an event according to PGA rules and format... I still have a lot of the 2025 roaster to do and Im sure there are a few International players in there
I guess playing around with these to see what works best to replicate an actual PGA tour mite take a few experiments |

When you create a custom PGA Tour for TW06 then you have to use the TW06 career editor.
You can download TW06 career editor on link below:
http://coursedownloads.com/extras/details.asp?id=643
It will only work for TW06, not for TW08. |

| I had a similar problem. I remember 4014. In my case it was a problem with a tournament setup. I wanted to create an end-of-season tournament with the winners of the 4 majors, similar to the PGA Grand Slam of Golf that was played between 1979 and 2014. Obviously, when I set up the season in Eligibility, I set "Winner of a previous Major". However, when I started the season I was in the year 4014 and all the tournaments appeared configured in Stableford mode (when I had configured them as Stroke Play). When I started a tournament, the game reverted back to Windows. I spent a lot of time trying to find the error and finally, when I changed the eligibility of that tournament to All, it worked correctly. So you may have configured a tournament with an option that is 'not allowed'. |

Probably a simple answer
Tried creating an event (American Cup) but no madder what I do it dose not show in the calendar... So I tied International Cup and It showed no problem
In the proses I did get a popup said 2 event required before this event to have qualifiers for the event.. not sure if it was for match or International
Assuming it was not for the American cup... I did create 2 more events in front of all

When you set up an International Cup, you must enter the folder from which the players for this event will be selected (in Opponents you must enter PGA Tour, PGAChamp or PGASmall).
Once this is done, at least 2 previous events must be configured with the players in this folder.
The reason for this is that when the time comes for the tournament, the players who will participate are the top ranked players in those tournaments. You can follow the "Cup Play Points" in the Rankings section. The players who have the most points at the time of the International Cup will participate in the event. |

If I am not mistaken, the American Cup and the International Cup are set up as biennial tournaments, with the International Cup taking place in even years (like the Ryder Cup at the time of the game's launch) and the American Cup taking place in odd years (like the Presidents Cup in 2008).
As the game calendar starts in 2008, if you set up an International Cup type tournament, it will appear in the first season you play, but if you play several consecutive seasons with the same calendar, it will not appear in 2009, it will appear again in 2010, and so on.
On the other hand, if you create an American Cup type tournament, it will not appear in the first season you play (year 2008 in the calendar), but if you play several consecutive seasons with the same calendar (you can simulate the events of the year 2008, just advance the calendar to January 2009), the event will appear in 2009, it will not appear in 2010, and so on. |
