ball straight

I'm seeing people hit EVERY shot straight at a 100% clip, there is ZERO chance that's going to happen, there's WAY too much human error for that...

  • When the meter/feedback says I've swung and hit straight, I expect the ball to go where I aimed. This is a video game that get's mastered quicker than real life. I do not want the programmers to inflict artificial error to make it appear "realistic" by making me feel like I suck at it.

  • That's why we have RNG, and the only thing EA can do is cranking RNG even more.

    @Katybee_1313I've played people in the online play and their ball goes straight 100% of time, and the distances they hit tee shots... it's well farfetched, were talking 20+ yards further that what I'm hitting into a wind, (I had someone outdrive me by 30 yards into a 15mph wind) I'm no slouch of a player, but I can't keep up sometimes

    I don't get how -EA- can push a draw and pull a fade.

    My controller was drifting about 2 weeks ago, I went online to shop for a new controller. I was surprised to see about a dozen of them of all shape and size, some could be used for PS5, PS4 and PC.  Some of them were between $200 and $300 promising all things, bringing gaming to a new level, remapping, getting an advantage.  I'm sure it would be easy with those to lock the axis and have them with some turbo or longer stick track to drive the ball longer. And it looks like they were all PS licensed too.

    Ever since I played current game, I have never seen the ball go straight. RNG made sure ball did not go straight. TW14 was the last golf game where ball went straight most of the time. I miss that game.

    When I was playing TW14, a guy was always trying to play alternate with me. He was playing with a third party controller and hitting it always straight and at least 20 yards longer than me. He even offered me to buy one of the controller he was using and mail it to me. He was one of the top player in TW14.

    I play in 3 different locations using three different controllers. An old game stop, a 360 , and a elite 2. I hit the ball straight most of the time not always with all of them. I find the most trouble with putting and keeping it straight.
