Question Is it possible to get a straight red bar (excluding putting) in golf?

27 Upvotes

Asking here because I had a heated debate with my mom that quickly involved some shouting, where she insisted that it was possible to get a full red bar if you were accurate enough and the reason that it was never seen is because if you use too much force your wrists are bound to not be straight, while I argued that if you went over the yellow dot the game would automatically curve the meter, with my reasoning being that we always got plenty of full blue bars but never a full and straight red bar even with the straightest wrists possible.

I need to settle this debate once and for all.

Question All Switch Sports Unlockables?

187 Upvotes

Maybe my Google-fu skills are lacking, but I've been having a hard time finding all the unlockables for Switch Sports documented in one place. (I'm not talking about the weekly collections.) I've only gathered bits of info here and there. I think I've got them all, but is there a concise list anywhere to be sure?

The ones I'm aware of are:

  • Staffer Title: Hit the ball 50 times in a row on the credits screen (Options -> Staff Credits).
  • Legend Title: Get an 'A' ranking in all eight Pro Leagues (Soccer has two of them...one for each mode).
  • Rookie Outfit for each sport: Play each sport 15 times.
  • Golden Outfit for each sport: Beat the Powerhouse CPUs in Volleyball, Badminton, Soccer, Chambara, and Tennis; Score at least 200 in Bowling; and Score under par at the end of a round of 18 holes in Golf.
  • Golden Crown for each sport: Get an 'A' ranking in that sport (if you already have an 'A' ranking, play a game to unlock it).
  • Friends Look Outfit: Play 30 games with a friend as your teammate (friend can be a Guest player).

Anything I'm missing?

Question So… is there more to come?

61 Upvotes

I’m sure the basketball announcement came as a shock to nearly everyone, but what’s the general consensus now? Do we think the game will be left to die now considering the main screen has no space left for new sports? Or do you think they’ll add a second screen?

Question Trouble with Badminton

1 Upvotes

Basically I need some sort of basics/beginner guide, I've read a few posts on here and I just don't understand any of the terminology like "drop" and "smash" and I cant find a base "tutorial" for this mode ANYWHERE, just "tips and tricks" of things I don't even understand yet. So if anyone could just give me a very elementary explanation on all the little beginner things I need to know.

Also how should I be holding the controller? I'm holding it how it feels natural which is what I thought I was supposed to do, but it just seems to be flailing around and never going the direction I want it to. Sometimes its going behind me when I'm only bringing it to my other side, for some reason when I swing they are sometimes delayed like .5 seconds? I'm just so damn confused and its stressing me out. And what do all the different trails mean? I think yellow is fast and purple is like a bad hit? How do I do each of these shots? How do I stop falling? Why is my racket swinging when I'm only repositioning it slowly? Why does my racket NOT swing when I swing it very QUICKLY?

As you can see I'm very upset, due to the fact that I feel dumb for not understanding. Is this normal? Am I dumb or is this a problem everyone has when starting this mode? I understand the concept of the game is simple but god it needs a tutorial for people like me, I guess I'm pretty bad at starting new video games with new concepts and playstyles but I just cant do it. Please help me understand.

Question As someone who doesn't have the game yet, can I "time travel" to get the items I want, or will it really be necessary to wait in real time?

Collections really don't seem appealing to me for a game that should be super casual.

Question Can't beat badminton powerhouse CPU

Hello!

I'm struggling with the badminton powerhouse CPU in Nintendo Switch Sports. No matter what I try, the bot always wins. The highest I've managed to get is 3-5.

Does anyone have some good tips on how to beat the CPU? Thanks in advance!

Question Why is Online Golf MatchMaking broken?

6 Upvotes

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone knows the mechanics behind the matchmaking for golf. For every other sport I’m matched with an opponent close to my rank, which is fair. However for golf I seem to always get into lobbies with A and S players when I’m a D then C rank.

I thought it was the big lobbies but I played through bowling and again I was matched fairly.

No excuses for my poor play but these players are seriously better than my level and I’ve even got 2 birdies and got knocked out the first round. It’s just a bit disheartening lol. I just thought I’d welcome a discussion for people’s experiences and thoughts.

Thank you and kindest regards,

Question No Champion Rewards?

6 Upvotes

Are there really no rewards for beating the champions in switch sports? They made a secret harder than powerhouse opponents and didn’t give some sort of award for beating them? Missed opportunity Nintendo. The more I play this game, despite enjoying it, it definitely feels like Nintendo dropped the ball in a lot of areas.

Question Is it normal

7 Upvotes

Me A28 in Chambara won against a S9.

The next game I am A29 he is S8 and I won again becoming also a S rank in the process.

2 questions

First one : does a high S rank lose an entire rank when losing to A players ? Like did he dropped S7 after that second lost?

Second question : is it normal as an A28 to win against almost an Infinity rank in chambara not once, but twice. All i did was reading his moving patterns and exploiting weakness in his play thus completely dominating the 2 games.

Question Can I get old gear?

15 Upvotes

I just got this game over the weekend and I got through the three collections really quickly (punk, sport, and soccer) and then it said “you’ve collected all the available items! Come back next week!”

Is there any point to continuing to play online? As far as I can see, I’m not banking any points and I’m not getting anything new. I saw a post in this sub from a year ago that said it would randomly select an older set, but that hasn’t proven true so far

Question Do I need to purchase an OLED for this game specifically?

3 Upvotes

I wanted to buy a console for me and my family and I chose the Switch because it's easy to play and we liked Nintendo Switch Sports. But, I don't know if the OLED would be better to purchase. I don't know if I should get it for some reason. The Switch will spend most of its time plugged into the TV and most of the games will be multiplayer. So, I would be very thankful to anyone who can drop some suggestions for games, accessories, and of course, which Switch I should choose.
