Tournaments, h2h, career…it’s all high winds and it sucks. Just ruins the game, I don’t want to play like this. Maybe the top players in the game like it because they’re so good, but for the rest of us, the wind blows. If it’s not crazy winds, it’s the worst courses.Please EA, kill it with this wind nonsense.

OMG! I can’t imagine reading a post from a gamer, who has made many posts complaining about the wind, tell another gamer complaining about the wind to not play if they don’t like the wind. Totally priceless.A link from memory lane.https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion/wind/m-p/13549016/highlight/true#M13250

@Weyland4k Got to agree. I'm mainly a h2h person and it's very off putting to have to spend all day on a "theme" that is nothing but high winds then tomorrow is even higher winds, then a day of "birdie fest" low winds. Boring all around especially when you're matched against or paired up with a fairly new person. They seriously, seriously, seriously need to go back to random everything every game every day. High winds is fine if it's maybe 15% of the day with low being another 15% (1-2 mph) and the rest being the 3-9 range. Sure, you may get 3 highs in a row, but that's ok if you know it's going to rotate around.

@-Roasted513- This isn’t REAL life though, it’s a video game. Keep the high winds for Tour or Sim, but keep it out of Pro and Amateur. On occasion, it’s whatever but to have it on such a high frequency just ruins the game.If I wanted realism, I would go to a course and play. Or play Tour/Sim.

Got to say I'm fed up too, it seems we had 10 to 15mph wind on every free daily tournaments for the last 2 weeks. And we're getting the same crap on the weekly Arcade and Pro tournaments this week too.

There are 16 bogeys in the top 100, -12 get you there and this is supposed to be Arcade?That’s what the simmers ordered about 1.5 years ago; unfortunately most of them left. For arcade, a bloodbath should not even be happening. This looks like the autopilot has been taken control by an inflatable doll.

@PalomaMarvel24 Lol..fair point on Roasted, but to his credit, he sticks to the game. On some courses, especially the British Links courses, if there is no wind they are defenseless and boring.

Why doesn't EA do something progressive and scrap a weather site and provide real-time weather conditions to the game.

@ELF014Because it’s not an easy system to implement without hurting other parts of the game and eats up a lot of resources. I have seen exactly this feature in other games that it didn’t ship with on a more dedicated engine for it and it’s extremely buggy. It’s a waste of resources when other more important things could be there in its place.
