I am realizing that Amateurs who want a fun and easy game and the Simulation Gamers who want a challenge are being left out in current game. That is why there are many post requesting for game to be ...
My issue with Arcade is that you should be able to repeat your shots or at least know your math is going to work out. EA's RNG currently gives a big FU to the casual player and is telling me "you may think you're good, but I'm going to jump in and make sure you can't rely on your abilities". In Arcade, birdies and eagles should be the norm with hole-outs determining the victor. As it stands you have to rely on opponents to screw up since your skill won't put you ahead. Sorry/not sorry if that offends the people that feel the game should make you take 3 swings in the sand just because you do on the weekends.
Um this is the norm in the game as it currently stands…..not just for arcade, but pro as well. Tour isn’t even far off from this…
I fully agree with this statement... if you have a fully powered up character the game is easy at all three levels. At the most difficult levels you advance the ball randomly until the short game where you can get the ball up and down fairly easily.
My group no longer plays this game anymore because we cannot find anyway to make this game challenging. Even maxing out the frustrating RNG does not make this game challenging... just a little more frustrating but not really much more difficult.
You know the reason I play computer games? To relieve the frustrations of day to day life.
If I want frustration, I can drag myself down to any number of courses to go watch other people play, and be frustrated that I can no longer even play 9 holes on a pitch and putt, let alone play a full round on a full course, as I used to when I was fully able.
My respite from the frustration of not being able to play real golf nowadays is to play video golf. Is it really too much to ask for it to be frustration free?
I would guess by the number of other people with similar complaints about the poor state of the game, that I'm not in a slim minority with that desire.
Not everybody wants hard core sim, not everybody can play at the same level consistently, so why shouldn't there be options for all?

I never said I wanted a hard-core SIM. I like playing all the other modes better than SIM, because I hate SIM putting. Quite honestly though, I don't understand the complaints about Arcade mode being too hard. It's really, really, really easy. I don't want to be that guy that says "get gud", but I don't know how you make the game easier without just coding so that a button click makes the ball go into the hole on all your tee shots.
But hey, if that's what people want.... I'm all for a "so stupidly easy what's the point of playing the game" difficulty level.....
I just hope they prioritize other things before that since there is only so much development time to go around.

I think you might be missing some people's point on here. The game is easy for some of us, not everyone is fully able bodied that can use a controller. There are those that are a little less fortunate that may have some disabilities that do not allow them to do things we take for granted.
Which is why 3-click might open a new world for these players.
Nor might everyone want the full on SIM settings I persnally prefer. But EA didn't seem to take any specific group in mind when developing the game... they appear to have just built what they wanted. Things like adding 3-click was an after thought.
I now fully appreciate what The Golf Club did now for all the settings you can toggle to allow all levels of players to find their sweet spot.

Ahh I didn't take disability to mean not able bodied to use a controller. I had taken the usage in the context of being at a disadvantage in game due to lower skill level modes not being present. My apologies for the misunderstanding @Noya_Wesa . You are correct, 3-click content is not available for online modes, and that is a shame when seen from this light.

No worry. Hopefully from that point of view, you can see why I feel so aggrieved with how the devs have handled that, and other things.
It is really weird how this game feels overall though. With the 2K games, I can actually play at all but the very highest setting and remain competitive. With this, arcade can be a struggle at times.
I have what I feel is a good spread of skill points, as seen in the screenshot:
and I use the following specs:
Xander Schauffele's Ball: 63/77/80/78
Sungjae Im's Driver: 54/85/89/78
Tony Finau's Wood and Wedge, respectively giving: 63/72/86/76 and 63/84/72/77
Scottie Scheffler's Iron: 68/89/91/88
So the numbers don't come out as terrible. However, for whatever reason, it's still not uncommon to see perfect/perfect shots just go completely off to one side or the other for no reason, and quite often they will head into the wind as they wander and go what seems to be an impossible distance off course. (With no overpower applied, so that can't be the cause.)

Thank you for making this comment and this is one great point. You are an awesome stand up guy for standing up for someone. 2K has done better job for accessibility.

Being good at some games are relative based on matchups. 2K and TW fit much better for my style of play and I see it much easier compared to the current game. I am an amateur player while you are a much more advanced player in this game; you are more likely see this game much easier for you. I just see that 2K is a much better fit for me than this game. You mentioned in another post that you would rather play SIM in this game than the easiest level in 2K. That is an example of how each game presents a matchup for us. By the way, I am already the next level up in 2K.
