@Allan5858 I totally agree with you about aids. The zoom feature is one I thought no one has ever gotten right. Developers seem to think this should be an on/off feature. I have always said there should instead be a 40 yard zoom from the spot of the ball.
In real life I can take a little stroll over a hill to pick a target for an errant shot, rather than blindly hitting a ball based off an educated guess.
The only two other aids I would want is the ability to toss some grass in the air to simulate the direction and speed of the wind. And a close up view of my ball lie, and no I don't want a calculated value of percentage loss. Just a view of how the ball is sitting and how tangled or plugged the ball is. The direction of the grain of the grass to see if I should expect a flyer lie... etc.
And the ability to disable the dispersion circle.
I found disabling everything in 2K made me mentally happier. Though I think 2K is pretty accurate matching shot results with shot execution. I was less frustrated by bad shots when I didn't see a perfectly executed shot on the swing gauge. Plus I would rather work out my swings myself rather than seeing on the gauge I am pushing my shot a bit to the right.
Afterall that is also part of real golf, working with what you are bringing to the table on any given day. I am not saying to implement this across the board, but to make it available to those of us that want it.
The game is appealing.... it just seems to lack any real substance to keep you engaged longterm.
