Lately?

Lately everything they do seems to make it more difficult so the simmers will stay and/or come back. And more arcade players are leaving. If you want to keep an audience you have to find a way to app...

    The TW Series had more options to make games easy for beginners and hard for Sim.

    Here are some options that are needed to make game accessible to from arcade to sim players.

    1) Add Options to turn on/off RNG.

    2) Add Options to turn on/off lipout physics.

    3) Add Options to control wind speed like in TW games.

    4) Add Sliders to Buff or Nerf shot types; this option can help all levels.

    5) Add weather options such as Rain which was available in TW games.

    6) Add Sliders to adjust backspin.

    7) Add Sliders to adjust breaking putts.

    8) Add options to change flagstick position or even remove flagstick.

    Having more options just makes game more accessible.

I absolutely agree there is an issue with the ball physics in this game, putting is a little funky too but I feel that could just be a case of the green speeds being too slow (EA should have included an option to set meaningful green speeds, as well as rough).

I get not being able to check up a ball with long irons when they are extremely firm greens, but the amount of roll out is overly exaggerated.

And I agree with @SpurS1964 , if I am hitting into a heavy headwind... I expect my ball to balloon and check up pretty quickly.

@ELF014 I think the issues with putting is that the aiming marker controls the power and speed of the ball and not your swing.

    To me the aiming marker controlling distance along with the RSD is the worst things they could have done with this game.

    I fully agree with you that putting should be velocity based, but I have never felt that the roll out on the greens were correct.

    I always bring up the 16th hole at Augusta... there is no way my ball should stop on the hill with the Sunday pin placement... I've been watching that tournament for decades and the ball always feeds back down to the hole.

    This game doesn't need big or global changes to improve drastically. They just don't seem to be able to understand what needs to be changed.

    There are a lot of minor changes that could be implemented by an opinional setting that could be toggled so it doesn't affect the status quo. Like being able to select additional green speeds or allowing you to disable the aiming reticule, or other on screen aids.

    Full control of configuring your Private Room settings... many things that don't affect the default users experience. 

    But would improve the overall experience for many.
