More RNG?

It looks to me EA didn't just adjust RNG on the pick and blast shots. It's been a long time since I missed so many fairways with basically no wind. It used to happened with a power drive, and I'm now...

    The worse thing about current game is you cannot find means to mitigate or control RNG. This game set a bad precedence because other EA Games like Madden 24, NHL 24 and EA FC 24 have some form of RNG. In all of these games, my created player has passes getting intercepted easily.

    If it's in their other games, this is bad news.  It probably means that EA is using this as an anti-cheat system.

The difference with 2K is that good execution is rewarded with good shots. As I have mention before 1% RNG would be welcomed by me in a game. Meaning a perfectly executed drive of 300 yards would have up to 3 yards of deviation. A 30 yard shot around a foot.

EA's RNG is heavy handed and poorly designed in this game.

Because controllers are so precise... the 2K swing model can be too accurate to represent real life play, but it is much better than EA's RNG.

Having more control of your shots is a big thing 2K got right. I like the fact that the outcome is expected in 2K depending on how well the shots are made. Both PGA Tour 2K and NBA 2K follow that model. Just hoping EA can follow so the franchise can still have a future.

Its just common sense and what makes a game sporting.   Its mindblowing how they developed this game.  I honestly think it was designed to get quick money and fail to fund other projects.  They abandoned the pc in 2008,  and the same 20 people who ragequit the online playerbase 15 years ago have also been killing this one.  And I think EA totally resents the community and just wanted to fleece us to develop another game.  The fact they literally had no online play developed on release was pretty telling.  The fact the ignored all the form requests,  99% of which were for turnbased multiplayer for months and months on end without even acknowledging the request.  was telling.    The fact when they finally added it half * and begrudgingly and then followed with every patch after designed to frustrated the playerbase was telling.    This is just the icing on the cake and I think this means they are now done with the game.   They probably won't shut the servers down, because then they should really refund us some money.

    It is far from 99% asking for turn base, in fact there's probably less than 25% of customers playing online. The biggest complaint on twitter or whatever it's called these days, it's forcing players to play online for weekly quests during the Ryder Cup. Most people just don't want to play online against others. During the TW era, devs at EA said only 10% of users were playing against each other online. And that the most popular mode was by far the Arcade mode. The same was said by a dev during EA Rory, the most played was Arcade mode and the stupid Battlefield course was the most used.

      tahts because everyone left the game.   and many who are not playing online probably would be, if they considered it playable.    I'm judging by the fact the forums were literally dominated by requests for online play features immediately at launch.   This is a sport.   Its an e-sport no matter how much you guys don't want to admit it.  Its ironic The dozen of you left here  keep saying you want a simulation golf game,  but in real life would yoou go to the golf course and play by yourself?  I feel the requests and +1's for turnbased over everything else was 99 to 1.   absolutely.   I hope they give me some of my money back when they take the servers down for this game on the pc.

        E-sport? That's the problem for me and many others here. Why should I play against others who are sandbagers, cheaters, and once I'm ahead in a game, ragequit to not give me the pleasure to win a game? And they take forever to hit their shot to the last darn second because they're calculating or looking on a spreadsheet before hitting their shot. It takes forever, I have a life.  I can count on one hand the number of turn-based stroke play I have played in my life. And a four-ball to please a friend, it was exactly 1 and I almost fell asleep before playing 9 holes.  Again, I have a life. Playing stroke play to me seems about the same as those old folks in McDonald spending all their morning drinking coffee and chatting with others. I like chatting but far from a social butterfly with nothing else to do. It's your life and you enjoy turn-based, good for you. But you're in the minority, just like those folks in McDonald drinking coffee all morning.

        And I can also tell you those starting stroke turn-based play on TW14 were waiting a long time, nobody wanted to play them. Because again, most people have a life.
