More RNG?

You have much chance of going in a rough on 3mph as you do on a 13mph

Easily the worst Arcade game EA has ever made. Making it as difficult as possible to hole out, taking top skill level out of the game. And if that's not enough, a finicky putting mode with weird cup physics. If RNG doesn't get you, lousy putting mode can make you lose a hole. And the putting line is just terrible, useless half the time and complete distraction. They should really bring back the old putt preview they used to have in the TW series.

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. Good news is there are sliders. For Madden 24 and NHL 24, I need to set all accuracy sliders to 100 and RNG goes bye bye. EA FC 24 has no sliders for accuracy, but I can adjust speed and stamina of my own players and AI. For RNG to go away in EA FC, I max out speed of my players to run like Usain Bolt while minimize speed of AI to run like Melissa McCarthy. Luckily UFC 5 has no RNG. Unfortunately for current EA PGA Tour, we are stuck with it. I have made posts advocating for sliders to current game, but I was met with a whole lotta resistance.

@PalomaMarvel24Totally agree about the RNG in other games but remember those situations you can adjust the gameplay is offline only

The gameplay in EA PGA is fundamentally developed into the game. You can’t escape it online or offline. As you mentioned you’re stuck with it.

It’s simply unacceptable losing holes under any circumstances to RNG

Not sure who in EA came up with the idea of RNG, but that was the worst feature to include in any game. Before this year, TW11 stood as only game with it; but this year more EA games got it. All of the 2K games (NBA, PGA and WWE) do not have RNG. That is bizarre WWE has no RNG while PGA and other EA games have them because PGA Tour feels more like Wrasslin than WWE. If next iteration of PGA Tour will have RNG, it would better to use the entire WWE roster to be the golfers instead of any PGA/LPGA player since RNG would make game more fake than Wrasslin.

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

If RNG is used as an anti-cheat system, it makes more sense to use for online modes. However using RNG as an anti-cheat system for single player offline modes makes absolutely no sense since it penalizes casual players for what bad apples have done. Luckily the other EA  games have sliders for offline modes which allows casual players to remove RNG. For current PGA Tour, we are stuck with it since there are no sliders.

At least with multi choice golf games don't like one buy the other. I never play online with other players just quick play and carrier mode single player give me the option to turn off RNG/deviation what ever you call it period.
