The good
- You now have to work out the wind direction yourself no more of the arc doing for you
The bad
- Finesse dispersion has been overtuned. Nobody in their right mind asked for MORE dispersion
- Putting stat changes have been overtuned. There is no one in their right mind would sacrifice all their other attributes to get 10 in putting to make it the way it was pre-update

They were probably trying to please the Simmers always complaining the game was too arcade and easy. By doing so, they made the game even more difficult for arcade players to hole out. Déjà vu all over again dating back to TW10 which gave us TW11.

My biggest pet peave with EA games is their complete willingness to please Simmers who are incapable of being satisfied. EA FC is the only EA game that does not do what Simmers want. For UFC and NHL, arcade players can still push back and revert to original settings. For PGA Tour, all simmer requested changes are irreversible. I get annoyed at games getting broken and more difficult because of a Simmer’s whim. That was what happened in Update 3.0. I just like all 2K games because Simmers don’t get the platform and bully pulpit.

While your statement might be valid, I don't thing this is to please simmers. It does nothing to make the game anymore realistic.
What it is doing IMHO is doing a better job of balancing things in the game. If the changes they have made were how the game played originally no one would be complaining.
The difficulty levels are not well balanced... and if they did a better job with that most people would be able to find a difficulty setting to use. You may not be be playing under PRO or TOUR. But does it matter... it is just a label.
It may be a surprise to people but I don't think there are any SIMMERS playing this game.

He is exactly right though. Its to please guys like you. Congratulations. You are like one of the dozen regular posters left on the forums now. The pwning was successful. lol But lets face it, They picked the smallest group of people in the game and started catering to them hoping the rest of us leave so they can stop development. And they definitely have shown they resent the online competitive community. I don't even think they will release another game for the pc again. But at least I have them to thank because I haven't played a golf game on pc since 2008 and now I'm having a ball on 2k23. I've always wanted a golf game with an mmr and ranking system. SO glad EA pushed me out. lol
