I am hoping the next update will do away with the triple bogey limit on a hole. I saw Chad Ramey card a 13 in the first round of the Memorial on Thursday so even a PGA pro can do it. The only reason I can think of for capping the score on a hole is for handicaps? However if a player wants to artificially inflate his handicap he could intentionally do it anyway so the limit makes no sense. This game has a lot of potential so looking forward to other additions such as a driving range, practice green for the short game and putting, and stats for rounds including the total feet of putts made. Replays with multiple cameras? Also make the full swing more difficult. Even at Sim it is easy to hit fairways.

I, along with others, requested something as simple as adding white socks or wearing no show socks from day 1. After 12 patches including new clothing and shoes, we never got them and still wearing permanent black socks. The last update was April 2, so nothing more is happening. The game is abandoned the same way EA Rory was abandoned for lack of sales.

Those 670 employees on the street looking for a job, or delivering pizza to feed their kids couldn't care less about our little feeling for a stupid golf game not making money and abandoned.

The last time the bosses got the golf games right was when Tiger Woods was in his prime since Tiger made golf really cool. Without another generational talent like Tiger, golf games wouldn’t sell as much. Currently 2K got Tiger, and some time in the future, the majors license would follow to 2K. That trend happened in Basketball. Previously EA had the rights to Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan and the WNBA with NBA Live. Since NBA 2K took over the Basketball market, 2K now has the rights to Kobe, MJ and the WNBA.

This is kind of the issue with these big public companies. In private companies, when customers are voting with their wallets, a private company will try to make their products better. In public companies like EA, customers buying the games are not the real customers anymore. The real customers have become the investors and when they're voting with their wallets, it's cancelling and abandoning games not making money, laying off employees. Microsoft and Sony Playstation did the same, laying off even more employees than EA.

@SLouis2001 Great points. Those things you mentioned would make a great update.

I’d add one thing. Please stop the dumb ai golfers missing a 2 than a one inch putt many times a round. Also the commentators say the score of the golfer you are paired with rather than yours.

Why on earth would you want the swing to be more difficult?

Many feel it’s a little easy to hit fairways off the drive. I agree. Pros struggle to hit 70 percent. This game is awesome when it’s a real challenge.

100% in agreement.
I had posted earlier regarding removing the triple bogey limit. This is not realistic. I played in a tournament where the winds were 25 miles plus. I probably would have taken an 7 or 8 on the par 4, but end up picking up the ball and taking a triple.
If you don't remove it, at least make it an option to turn off.
Thanks!

No, they need to change it to a 2-stroke limit for online play so you'll have an opportunity to come back. 3 or more just encourages quitting.

Go play a different game then. Nobody wants to have a hard time hitting the fairway.

At the risk of bringing something back up that is long since dead and EA Sports most likely not having any intention of fixing, I will ask again that the triple bogey cap be given the option to turn it off. I enjoy playing the single player games and rarely have a hold where I'm going to play worse than triple bogey. However, as in real life, it DOES happen. As a result, it should be a reality in this game as well, if the player wants it. I can't imagine it being that big of an issue to initiate a patch to allow this to be turned on or off. However, as the latest posts I can see on this are over a year old, it looks like my request (along with at least a few others on this forum) will not be addressed by EA. Surprise me EA!
