If people are interested, we may eventually proposed a kind of 100 % category, where you have to get every Rivals Mode Awards. So basically : Any% would be simply beating Rivals Mode to get the Greatest of All Time award ( roughly 5 hours) 100% would be beating Rivals Mode and getting every Awards (mainly from Tiger Woods challenges) ( roughly 7hours ?)
What do you think ?
If you want my opinion split each era in sections like 2005 runs do it because spending so long to beat this is ridiculous in 1 run
To any future runners, Rivals mode up to Jack Nicklaus era and beating the first 2 golfers in his era with max stats takes nearly 5 HOURS AND 22 MINUTES. I had to quit because of health issues. I was reaching the same limit I had with Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2005. I can officially say that Rivals mode will take OVER 6 HOURS straight to beat.
yes, the lenght of it is problematic, thank you very much for setting up the categories for each eras.
As for the full fledge thing, it's a matter of who will have the capacity and will to do it the first !
After much practice and many failed runs I managed to any% rivals mode (saved player) in 6:04:08. It was just close enough to sub 6 to make me want to try again. I also hope to complete both an any% new player run and an all awards run in the near future, if I can find the energy. I can see why some people would prefer to run segments.
Anyone interested in running this, you can save minutes by switching off big hit animations and gamebreakers in the options menu. In my opinion gamebreakers cost more time than they could potentially save
