No Punishment for Bad Shots!
There are a lot of things I wish EA would add or change in the game such as having Replays for one. However, I want to focus on one thing today. The game does not punish you if you miss a fairway. Wh...

@PalomaMarvel24 I play arcade and agree with you. At the same time it’s a little broken. You can actually hit further out of the rough and occasionally you’ll find a 23% buried in the rough ball that you can’t hit anywhere. It makes no sense.
This all falls under their “randomness”, though. They don’t want us to have an arcade experience. More like a randomly generated participation experience.

Rather than a percentage they should have let us zoom in to the ball. We could determine on our own how deep the ball was in the rough or sand. The type of lie, and the direction of the grass to see if a flyer was a possibility.
All these decades of golf games and they still cannot get it right.
I agree. It seems like all these years doing this, they would come up with common sense decisions on how the game needs to be. There is so much more room for improvement. EA needs to pay attention to all of our forum comments and act on them.

What you think needs to be done and what i think needs to be done are miles apart someone is always going to be disappointed. On the other PGA golf game I have no problem getting - 12 on easy setting. Hear i'm lucky to get -1 or -2 on arcade.

If you are only shooting -1 or -2 on the arcade settings you must only be just getting into the game. I play basically on sim settings, with all the additional aids disabled with the exception of wind direction and the green grids. And will regularly shoot in the low 60's with the occasional round in the 50's.
Even without the green grids I average about -5 under calm conditions.
And I don't consider myself good at the game.
I don't think it is uncommon. I am sure most people with the game have shot in the 50's, especially after they have leveled up their characters.
- @ELF014 That's a good idea too.
