Until it's out, I'm out.

@IXOYE56 No it’s not you can’t totally get rid of it

@Ultrasonic_77 I agree completely. This is the way the game was functionally designed. It's not going to change. Best you can do is upgrade your golfer as much as possible and buy specs to help areas you desire most. Everyone is on the same playing field.

I've learned to live with it, and yes, as you spec up you will see less shots doing things you didn't expect. I really don't mind it now except for when I do challenges. It can be hard to land 3 balls close to the pin when some random calculation is deciding if you will make it or not. Everywhere else, I'm mostly in the area of what I want, and just work harder to make a putt or whatever situation I'm in.While I agree that it's there to work within a direction they decided to go with the game, grinding for stuff in store with less than fair pricing, and that it's not likely to change as, well, look at every other EA Sports game....It's In The Game....I don't believe for a second it couldn't be removed from the game and store items could work like it did in older golf game titles. At least you can't buy specs, and the game itself is actually really decent and fun to play, so I say just learn to live with it, and if that's what wrecks your game and you need to leave, cool, I understand. I would suggest at least sticking with it till you max out your player and get some great gold specs and see how you feel then. I think at that point you will have a better idea if you can tolerate the random aspects of the game.

My player is a 98. Accuracy is nearly perfect spec-wise…. And it still happens anytime I get on a roll, breaking momentum and sucking the fun out of what is supposed to be an arcade experience. Not a sim experience. I wouldn’t trust the sim experience either with these random acts of digital god making arbitrary choices as to whether or not the ball goes where I hit it or not. it actually seems to penalize you for a “perfect / perfect / straight” swing.

Does the game still have random landing?

@mega8deth8 There really is zero chance of the random element being removed from the game as it is fundamental to the whole skill and spec aspect.

Timing strike with the movement of the aiming arc eliminates the ‘randomness’ doesn’t it?
Accuracy reduces the arcs movement but will not stop its sweeping motion.

There is no need than to look any farther than that for them to figure out what went wrong. Why their game has no longevity. This game is too easy to make birdies on par 4s but too hard and inconsistent to make eagles on par 4s. That's why EVERYONE will get bored with this game.

Its possible but whether it happens or not is up to EA. They could make it so that max accuracy with accuracy specs make the circle the size of the cup on arcade. Then bigger on pro and bigger on tour and bigger on sim. Id take tw11s focus meter over what we have at the moment and everyone hated that and it was the size of a basketball maybe.
Also if they did one day do this the aiming arc would have to go or at least be a lot shorter.

Reduces rather than eliminates I think.

I created this account simply to say that these “random acts of god” existing in Arcade mode at all is a thief of joy. Otherwise this game is great.
