I wanted to love this game so much. But if you're an amateur (arcade) player from the TW days then you will be disappointed. Its unplayable. There is actually RANDOM circles for landing. Did you not learn your lesson with Tiger 11? So much wrong. It plays nothing like an updated version of the old game. I probably wont be playing much more till the randomness is gone
I just realize I need to add to this thread that I forgot:
For arcade players from old days they DEFINITELY are gonna be scratching their head when they realize post shot spin is control stat based meaning no maxing the spin bar unless you max the control stat, post shot spin can't be maxed out from the rough, bunker, or anywhere that is not the fairway(Or presumably a road), and post shot spin can get canceled entirely where you'll have to respin it if you spin another way in some situations.
Even in the 360 era this was NOT a thing for spin control and I don't get why it got limited like this as if it'd be a main function for spin in the game. Power boost is based off the 360 era of it but it still functions fine.
EA please listen to your fan base. I would love to see another game released in the future. It will not happen if you don’t patch this quick. You already lost your basketball franchise. If the choice was to come back and regain your place in the market, look at your most popular years and duplicate some features. The game can still be difficult for those that want it. Just give the casual player a chance at a fun game. A very skilled, well known player deleted your game after one round. You got his purchase this year, but will never get another one. Imagine those who don’t share his talent level. Please start listening. Random landing was a very poor choice. At least you control the outcome of your shot in 2K.
Possibly it's worth highlighting that those wanting the most casual experience should choose to play as a pro rather than their own golfer. That way they'll get lots of skill boosts that make the game easier.

@Ultrasonic_77That isn’t the point of the post
Even with pro golfers you still get the random landing area
The skills reduce the extent of any randomness though, and there have been other comments beyond your initial one too.

@MaouYumisuI totally agree about the post shot spin as well from the rough !
No matter how much you put into Control for short game and approach you can only put minimal spin from the rough
Considering that Arcade is meant to be fun and the easiest difficulty this should NOT be the case
If I need to create 2 different golfer for Tour vs Arcade then so be it but Arcade needs that Random landing area gone!
I did notice that even IF you max control for all 3 stats out like I have the irons showcase the drive skill off the tee instead of approach which means you must waste points into driving control to be effective post shot spin wise.
This is gonna trip up the Arcade players once they realize this.
@MaouYumisuYep no option to upgrade spin when from the rough is a massive oversight
Can someone explain this “random landing zone”? I have yet to experience this.
