EA PGA Golf dying a slow death?

Adding sliders would be one solution to this. Other EA games like FIFA, NHL, and Madden have this feature. Super gamers could set sliders to highest difficulty to get the challenge they want. Arcade players like me who enjoy birdiefests could set sliders for least difficulty l.
This experiment happened with UFC3. There was a subset who wanted more challenges and the game got harder as each update occurred. The game virtually became unplayable for arcade players. I almost traded in the game until a large group of arcade gamers complained and requested sliders. By the next update, sliders were implemented. When this update happened, the complaints have plummeted from both sides.
Adding the sliders might be the feature that could save the game.
Golf is a social game, that’s where they fell short massively. To not implement any online features is what has killed it, releasing a course every season doesn’t hold much appeal to people if you can’t enjoy it with friends/other players.
You’ve got to put things into context, if every person who bought the game knew before hand that there were no online features, no alt shot, one online game type, various bugs some major/minor, no shot replays, no online comms, poor customisation. I think you can assume the majority wouldn’t have purchased it.
I feel really short changed as do a lot of people and that’s not acceptable. You asked if it was dying a slow death? No, it died instantly after the PGA championship, that’s when the player base knew that EA weren’t serious about improving this game for the fans.
