putting is a joke now, you made it so you have to put alot of skill points in putting, like get gold texas wedge but only way to do that is remove skill pints from power, Only way theycan fix this is by raising the level cap to 70 and or give us putting specs. Also still no crossplay, on PC in the weekly seasonal only 71 people played it, so to be in the 0 to 5% u had to be in the 3rd or 4th on the leader board but on xbox and ps5 i bet you could be in the top 10 to 20 or lower to be in the top 5%
WELL DONE EA FOR DESTROYING YOUR GAME AND IF YOU LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE WHO PLAY IT AND GIVE US WHAT WE WANT YOU HAVE THE BEST GOLF GAME OUT THERE
@lolwhat1234That doesn't seem right.
When I select Power, and I select just the first skill point, it says it costs 400 points just for that one point. If I select all 7 of the Power points I have, it says it would cost 1800 coins.
And then when I look at Putting, where I also have 7 skill points, if I want to retrain the first skill point, it says it will cost 200. If I want to do all 7, it shows a cost of 800.Oddly, it seems that Driving Control, Approach and Short Game skill points are working the way I'd expect, where each point is 50 coins to retrain.

Who's asking for that? I want the swing meter, putt meter and green grids turned off. Greater lie penalties. Bigger dispersion zones. Less skill points. Not more aids. Isn't that what Arcade, Pro and Tour are for?!
I'm with you on everything except for the dispersion zone, I would rather have the swing mechanic be more sensitive to input than a bigger random area where the ball could end up.
It needs to be more input driven than some random event.
As I have been saying from day one, those developing this game are not true golfers.
I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE PHYSICS OF THE GAME. This is a video game and I simply want to compete against other players online. But no cross play,, no in game chat, no community clubs and player created tourneys, and worst of all the fact they keep forcing these foursome team games noone wnats to play while making us constantly reque every damn 2 mins if we don't get neough players, Is basically ea telling its playerbase to fk off!. And on the PC they did. Its over, literally noone is playing on the pc online when a couple months ago the game was literally growing. I'm absolutely infuriated i wasted a whopping 80 dollars for this obvious bare bones cash grab that ea apparently resents so much they are literally sabotaging it.. Who the fk is going to sit here and hit the que button every 2 mins for an hour. You guys want development of the courses and physics biut that won't continue to happen with no players buying the game... and that comes from communities of people playing together online. period.

What you say is partly true. But have you considered the reason no one is playing the game is because the majority of players are NOT interested in playing an arcade golf game?
Communities and online features don't matter if the game isn't worth playing.
I know that many complain about how difficult/unplayable 2K is... I disagree and have always felt they included something for everyone if you wanted to adjust some game settings. Plus if it is so unplayable, why is everyone still playing it?
I don't know how many more forks EA is going to keep sticking in their game. I thought it was pretty much done on arrival.
People on this forum have been making suggestions on the betterment of this game since the day it released. And it was clear back then, and even more so now the developers have their own agenda and no clue on how to create a good golfing environment in a golf game.
It's like the Chargers of the NFL, I don't know how with so many resources available to you... to make things worse with every update? I think it is pretty obvious the head coach needs to go.

I have to disagree - the majority of my circle (ok, all of my circle) are waiting for the stable arcade version of the game. The themes, rotating game modes and minimal lobbies drove them away. There is a huge crowd that wants to live vicariously through this game and get the rush of being able to hole out to make the difference in a game instead of just hoping the other player messes up. Amateur should allow you to use muscle memory to repeat a shot - wind, elevation and swing should be the variables and not putting a ghost in the machine to make you fallible.

well said. give us an in game chat, give us community clubs and private tournaments so we don't have to play with all these cheating fakes who are "too good". and give us crossplay.
I';m starting to think they are worried the pc players will cheat and ragequit out the console players. And I can't blame them, but again, give us community clubs and private club tourneys. I'm going to 2k now. This game was clearly just a cash grab by EA. the only person left playing soon will be Elf hahaha.

I am okay with an arcade game but they need to cater to everyone. I don't think anyone who plays golf would call this anything other than an arcade game.
What you seem to be asking for is a stable game, and I think that should have been a given for a AAA title.
Themes, rotating game modes etc... are more directed towards arcade features than anything to do with the actual golf. I don't expect to see pumpkins and the sort on the courses I play on IRL.
I think what you are complaining about is the RNG baked into the game. I have said since the beginning they over did this... that RNG should never have been a main function of introducing difficulty into the game.
That you should always be rewarded for the execution of a good shot.
RNG should kick in the more if a swing is off the swing path or poorly timed.
I think we really need to ask ourselves why there are no people in the lobby. It is because no one is interested in playing this game in it's current state.
And I would say participation has continued to decline after the games initial release. After the honeymoon period it has been a pretty steady decline.

Nope, not even a consideration because I played every golf game on the pc since ea's first golf game, world tour golf, in 1986. I was part of huge communities playing pg tour franchise up to tw08 on the pc. All my friends and family played, we even met up with people we met online through the game in real life. This is an e-sport, period. The only suggestions that could better this game, are those that encourage fair play and competitive matchups and social interactions. Catering to people who want to play the most realistic sim they can offline by themselves, is why the game is dying. And when we say dying, we are of course referring to the number of players we see in the online tournaments and and online qeues. There is literally no other gauge.
Even the forums are dead, when the game first came out there tons of more people on the forums calling for turn based match play as the biggest request which EA ignored for months before implementing online in a half * way. now the only people left are guys like you and elf calling this game mario cart. crazy...
