No one is playing this game
I don’t hold Steam to be the be all and end all of game usage, but it is a reliable source of truth. 115 people playing in steam right now. finding online players is getting much more difficult...

@MaouYumisu I’ll mention here I’m a pretty decent real world golfer, my club pro tells me I can be a scratch player even…. His words, not mine 😆. But thats not me puffing out my chest and boasting about anything. What it means is I know what happens on a golf course, the way a ball should bounce, roll, spin…. You get the picture. And some of the “physics” in this EA golf game are so artificial and wouldn’t happen on any golf course in the world and the first thing anyone would notice is how a ball interacts with the edge of the hole at times with strange lip outs and some putts even going into the hole only to pop straight back out and carry on a straight path. The way the game moves your ball from a problematic position and sometimes even moves your ball from an area which isn’t a penalty area but still penalises you a stroke. Anyone who is old enough will remember Jean van de Velde at the 1999 Open getting into the Barry Burn on 18 as if to play his ball out of it, the words of the late great Peter Alliss “Would somebody kindly stop him, give him a large brandy and mop him down? “. I would question if EA even know the rules of golf, but I’ll happily loan them my 2023 book of rules if it helps the improvement of this game 😆

Wow... someone who actually agrees with me that the ball/cup phyics are not right. Not only is it wrong but inconsistent as well.
BUT I was surprised to hear that @MaouYumisu who is a self proclaimed arcade player is unhappy with the state of affairs as well.
If that is the case, exactly who was this game geared towards?
