People have given up on this game
Kind of a follow up to the other thread about "No one is playing this game". Though I only play this game now to see what the latest patch brings, though I do keep watch on this forum to get a pulse...

Not true HB/2k moved mountains to make a game that all levels could play the way they want it can be done.

I agree that 2K moved mountains to make game better. One EA game that was broken that got fixed quickly is NHL 24. Many bugs at launch and no hybrid controls present; one month after launch, fixes become obvious. Hope this can be done with PGA Tour.
@PalomaMarvel24 I am interested in hearing about NHL 24 since I’ve played every one since…. The first one I think…. EA Hockey way back in around 1991. Be a Pro is what I’ve exclusively played since NHL 09 and played NHL 23 and thought it was just too easy compared to 22 which I thought was about right in terms of difficulty. How’s NHL 24 in terms of difficulty? I did play on 22 and 23 with full difficulty settings ramped up so I can’t be a bad player when I played 23 and struggled to find ways to make it more difficult without flat out putting the sliders in the CPU’s favour 😆

NHL 24 has a new controller settings called Total Control which is more difficult and challenging compared to NHL 22 and NHL 23. I had to fully put sliders in my favor and set options to easiest level to compete using Total Control. During launch, this was default settings and hybrid control was removed. After a large number of complaints, hybrid controls has been added back one month after launch. If you want a challenge and more difficulty, Total Control is available as an option.

I am not saying it couldn't be done, I'm saying it doesn't seem EA has any interest in doing it.
And HB Studio's didn't move mountains... it was always designed to include everyone.
I actually played through the first 3 Golf Club entries earlier this week.
@ELF014 I agree here regarding 2K/HB… they didn't really need to move mountains, all their games appealed to a wider audience and boasted superior gameplay. I played an earlier 2K/HB game not so long ago, it was the 2019 game and enjoyed it more than EA’s game. The older HB games really show that you can have all bells and whistles of pretty graphics, audio and all the licenses you want, but if your products lacks gameplay, it fails. That’s what made even the older HB games better. The graphics might have been terribly outdated, it might have had no licenses… you get the picture, BUT the gameplay grabs you in a way the current EA game fails.
EA could learn so much from 2K, heck they could learn so much from themselves from the final TW games. Would they be willing? At the moment, i highly doubt it
PS Here we go, we are going round in circles again with our discussions of issues, agreeing, now we wait before the cycle repeats for the 100th time 😆

2K2019 had the best swing of this series in my opinion. It was the last game of the series where I don't struggle making contact with delicate putts.
2K changed the swing speed to pacify a segment of the community... I truly think it was coming from the content providers.
What it did was take away the skill to hit partial shots in the game. To compensate in 2K since 2K21 is to hit full shot all the time and compensate with loft angle to control distance.
Yes I do this in real life as well, but they took away the other way I do it with partial swings.
If 2K2019's timing was as fickle as the current game and had the same green speeds... I would be all-in. I like 2K2019... and I have seen on forums that many think it was the best of the series.
I think it was really close... but it plays too easy. Why is it so hard to create a realistic golf simulation?
