Inconsistencies of shots
How was this game released with the shot mechanics so broken? You can line up a shot and hit it the same way and the ball lands 20 yards away from the same shot set up. Reading greens is near impossi...

@Ultrasonic_77 My character is developed a bit like you have stated twice. Just because I have a opinion on how a game should play is different then yours means it ain't for me. How do you know the game is performing as intended? Where you on the creative team? If it was behaving like intended why were the menus laggy and not awarding the rewards for 3 days. Was that intended?

I don't work for EA so no I was not involved in the game's development. However there is in-game reference to the random element (see description of Power Drive shot making challenge in the Coaching Academy challenges) and the accuracy stat operates specifically to reduce this (referred to as the 'dispersion circle'). Maybe you could suggest you think the random element is larger than intended I suppose but it's definitely there by design.
My most recent 'random' element was that on a simple putt the ball simply veered completely left for no reason at all. The surface was smooth, the swing was smooth. The ball should have gone straight forward and does 99% of the time. Other 'random' elements see the ball aimed toward the right side of the fairway with little to no wind and the random circle showing middle to right landing to avoid water and the ball yanking left and landing in the water nowhere close to the circle.
Argue all you want, but this game has clear bugs as the later reviews and comments on this board will tell you.

The game absolutely had loads of bugs, as is sadly the way with all modern games. I've not remotely suggested otherwise, and even provided a link above covering some bugs the devs had acknowledged and were addressing
If you see examples of where you think a perfectly hit shot inexplicably deviates by more than the indicated shot dispersion then sharing videos in the bug section would be helpful. One thought though would be whether you have wind gusts on? This could be a contributing factor. As could lie angle If you hadn't considered this.
What I'm sttring is definitely not a bug is that there is some random element to shot outcome.
This is exactly why I've deleted. Probably a good reason why there are less than 180 monthly players. My accuracy stats are nearly full! Yet the ball never ever lands where or even near where I am aiming. If there is a bunker, I'm in ot almost every single time. My driver accuracy is far lower than my irons! But my driver is far more accurate than my irons. If i have a perfect swing path as the game shows on every swing, then my accuracy should be pretty good. Instead it is absolutely awful and a major deterrent to even want to play the game. Random anything in a golf game is instant death for that golf game. Ea has definitely proved that here with this trash game. Ea golf should've stayed dead. 2k for the win
the lack of consistency costs me coins/tickets EVERYDAY and -EA- does. not. care.
-EA- should be held accountable for the screw-ups they've caused in this game, but they won't because they're GREEDY!
hundreds, thousands, millions of coins lost because -EA- can't put the ball WHERE. ITS. AIMED! and however many tickets lost in the same fashion....
