Forum Discussion
Personally I just don't think there bothered about the community or there rep would have had bigger cahooners and stuck around in the discord, it almost seems like the two big golf game producers are working together and are just out purely for money, totally expected to want to make money, but to make the community pay for an under par (pardon the pun) game is outrageous,
If they realised that making the games good and listening to the main community gripes they would probably make more, yes they make games that attract many more players, but genuine sports games stick around for ever and attract all gamers at different stages in life, so as far as longevity goes they make money, so are worth getting right.
Like most are saying it is 2023 and most issues or gripes are basically standard things for these type of games, should be in from the start and not expected to be begged for, it ain't rocket science, implement the basics and let the game build its self and a good player base.
Could go on and on but falling on deaf ears........
Snore. Has anybody asked for a swing meter colour change? Like really…? had a quick scan through wish list thread and couldn’t see it. I would rather they did sweet FA than release a half arsed patch as a smoke screen to keep the player base clinging on.
A games longevity, especially a Golf game requires a solid multiplayer platform. I get a bigger thrill playing Tetris than I do playing divot derby on this.
Shambles EA!

I personally don’t wanna see the meter at all. I need to disable it completely
Major disappointment...
For on-line play I was hoping for turn based play enabled, as well as the ability to fully control the playing environment for all players. Meaning that the host can control not only the GAMEPLAY settings, but those in VISUAL as well. Afterall don't we all want to know that all competitors are playing under the same conditions. I also don't want to be tied to presets decided on by the game developer as to what SIM settings should be.
The other major issue I thought would be addressed was the triple bogey cap on scoring. If one were to hit a ball into the water on a par 5 you are already losing effectively 2 strokes if you don't get yardage...
The hole physics really need another rework. It needed to be addressed but in some ways they went way to far in trying to correct it.
I also found a new bug in career mode reflecting scoring.... it looks like they did address a lot of bugs but most of them look pretty trivial. They really need to work on getting the gameplay right.
I use the swing meter, and it was just a useless change. Also, for anyone trying to get one of the 100% power challenges good luck. It’s just harder now to judge 100% over swing until the swing passes into the red .

Anyone who wants to can go back to exactly how it was before. To do this they need to go into the Visual settings and change the Swing Meter Style from Modern to Classic. Which from a quick test is likely what I'll be doing.
- @Ultrasonic_77 yes sir thank you for that because I had gotten used to the old style. I wouldn’t necessarily have found that if you hadn’t pointed it out.
- @Miss_Lindaa I may be in the minor majority, but I liked the new swing meter.
Hate this new brute force change to the swing meter. I take it there is absolutely no way to at least choose which swing meter you'd like to use?
Menu's are still so laggy too.

As mentioned earlier in this thread, you can switch to the previous swing meter in the Visual settings section - change from modern to classic.
