Arcade Should Be Easy While SIM Should Be Hard

    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.

2K with harder settings doesn't feel as frustrating as arcade play on here, which just seems totally whacky. 

They don't punish players for disability by excluding them from content, and that also includes their keyboard map..

So bizarre, I feel the complete reverse.  I feel like EA's HARDEST mode is easier than 2K's easiest mode.  

 

As far as punishing players by excluding them from content, unless they have changed 2k since EA came out, there was no option to play online competitively with lower skill settings.

 

This could only be done in private leagues.  At least there are Arcade tournaments in EA.   

 

One of the worst things about 2K was it calculated your handicap based on all scores in career and online modes, so when I played single player with the horrible downswing timing disabled, it gave me a ridiculously low handicap for when I was forced to play with the downswing timing on.  Drove me away from the online play almost immediately.

I would take 2K's easiest mode all over any difficulty in this Game. 2K's easiest mode is much easier for me compared to what is offered in this game. I think 2K works better for me stylistically. John Salley once hosted the "The Best Dam Sports Show". I see the current PGA Tour as "The Worst Dam Sports Game".
