And about pro. It is for the casual beginner. If you have put 200+ hours into this game like myself you'd stray FARRR away from it.
If you put 100 casual golf gamers in a room, I'd GUARANTEE upwards of 65% would agree that Tour skill is the preferred game skill.
Yeah. I understand there are different populations based on platform and sympathize with those who bought on PC. You may be right on PC players playing more TOUR, but I think Katybee hit the nail on the head on the console populations leaning more toward PRO.
I'm a guy who plays lots of PC games and builds his own PCs, but I have never been comfortable playing sports games there.
I don't like ported games. If a game was made for console, it's better on console. If the game was made for PC it's better on PC. Most sports games are made for console and ported to PC. They were meant for a controler setup. Whereas FPS, RTS, Strategy, MMORPG all shine on PC and need a mouse and keyboard.
I personally think an open sandbox multiplayer environment is a bad idea.
The game would be much better served in a more structured environment, where there are Country Clubs where people can find places to land and feel comfortable where and who they play with.
This also allows EA to offload a large share of work to the community.
Myself I only play online with a small core of acquaintances. I'm not sure why you would want to match up randomly with someone you don't know, who may be unpleasant to be around, or not even complete the round.
@ELF014I have 4 friends I play with which is fun. and we do private matches because the online matches don't have our preferred skill level on some days.
The reason why I would match up against random people is because of the leaderboards. It gives more of a reason for the competitive player to play competitively online. You get a reward of having your name on the top of the leaderboards. Ultimately It just gives more of a competitive motive. If there was not competitive drive in EA PGA I'd never play online with randoms and probably play the game much less.
