Everyone has their priorities. The cup physics are - to me - the biggest issue this game has. Way too many lip outs that defied the rules of gravity and totally removed much of the immersion that this is a "simulation" golf game.
The fact they are willing to 100% overhaul the cup physics after almost 10 months is kind of crazy. It shows they are willing to make massive changes to the game even after this much time. Granted, so many things need to be addressed or added to this game, but I don't see this as a "lazy" update - they are literally completely replacing the tech for how the golf ball interacts with the cup. That seems to be a pretty massive undertaking.
Now, if the update makes no noticeable difference or actually makes it worse, then I don't know what to say.
I do agree that the difficulty and RNG in the game is an area of concern, too. But if the golf ball doesn't go into the golf hole properly, then the rest of the game doesn't really matter.
@sroel908 I agree. I have used the auto tap ins since I started the game. I found that set at 3ft there would be mises at least twice a round. Now there are none. Perfect. I play for fun not some sort of challenge. What I also found by playing the Quick Play is that those rounds are the driving range and where you can learn how to make and control shots as needed. What I found about misdirected shots was that it was not the game misdirecting them but how I was using the controller. You have to use the controller buttons perfectly or your shots play out just like they do on the real golf course. This you can practice in Quick Play. For those that have not practiced in Quick Play you will find out how to choose the proper clubs for each shot and how to use different buttons to gain different results with every club with all different wind directions and speeds. This I have been working on since I got the game. This is where the fun comes in. Start using all the different shot types with all clubs in Quick Play and you will be surprised how accurate your shots can be if you teach yourself how to actually control the controller.
