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.

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.

I remembered when we were talking about revenue and investing on other posts. The same applies for online modes. Games like EA FC 24, UFC 5 and NBA 2K24 not only have the high revenues, but also robust online game modes. Even though I don’t play online modes, I watch YouTube videos on online gamers for NBA 2K24 to determine if a player is worth buying. From those videos, the posters mention that the enhanced enforcement on cheaters, rage quitters and someone equivalent to sandbaggers can be severe. That is what revenue can provide. EA PGA Tour does not have that revenue to provide an enhanced enforcement like in NBA 2K. In addition, golf is a way more slower paced game compared to Basketball, Football and MMA. Playing online in EA FC, UFC or NBA 2K will not make us like the folks in McDonald’s drinking coffee. I also need time to do some salsa dancing as well.

As I have previously posted... there are always people that are going to try and game the system. You are never going to stop it. The best you can do is restrict where they can play.

Which is why Societies or Country Clubs in EA terminology are important. It allows usergroups to monitor their own communities and remove the riff raff.

I thought there was talk of Country Clubs being included in this during launch, but I haven't heard anything since.

I thought this would have tied in great with a full integration of Ryder Cup play between clubs.

But instead... no Country Clubs, and I have no idea what they were thinking about with how they rolled out their Ryder Cup play.

Imagine having two teams of players from two Country Clubs playing out the whole Ryder Cup format. And having your winning percentage on a leaderboard for you club with a minimum amount of matches played of course.

But alas, it was not meant to be.
