PGA TOUR Feedback
PGA Tour.....What can I say? Even in EASY MODE this game is a headache to play!! When you drive it's fine. It's the medium and short games that are totally unrealistic!! When I try to shorten up on t...

Like putting SP, the short game SP seems only to offer the extra shot types but in no way makes you any more accurate than if you dump all your short game SP altogether. Consistently, I see a dead straight line on the meter but the ball heading off at 45 degree angles. If you aim left, the shot goes further left, aim right, it goes further right. Chips and pitches require only 50% hits to get to and go past your target and some of the other short game shots I gave up on because they are unplayable, the runner especially, is completely out of control. I like the spinner but just a minor elevation change requires a major rethink of your shot and again, you seem to lose any control.
The game is so hugely inconsistent, I firmly believe that EA did no testing before release.
Not to defend the game but, pitches, chips, runners etc... show CARRY. You still need to account for the ball roll out and any slope.
As far as the dispersion of shots, I agree it is a bit over done with some shots/clubs. But that will tighten up with skill points. The game is still a bit of a mess though.
WTF is this?? The ball is IN THE HOLE!! The AI says it’s one inch away!! I call BULL CACA on EA!!!
@PinarelloFP3This happened to me twice in LACC. For other courses, that did not happen. That should be in the hole. That was a good pic showing a bug.
- @PinarelloFP3 Yup, this game does have some issues. There is no doubt about that.
Have you or anyone seen the scoreboard on the PGA Tour? According to the scoreboard, everybody is EVEN.
Clearly EA did not do their homework debugging the game. It has such great potentia! Heck, I played it all night last night from 8:30 PM to 6:00 AM. My wife could hear me cursing and using f-bombs and MF this and that!
what bothers me the most is the lack of consistency on similar shots and wind conditions. A 7mph cross wind doesn’t affect a drive on a Par5 but the same 7mph cross wind will move the approach shot 15 yards away from the hole half the distance to the hole. Not to mention the runaway shots that just will not sit on the greens. I have made eagle on a Par 5 in 2K23 from 225 yards away. There is no way to do that on EA. As soon as the ball lands it just keeps going and going like it has a motor.

I agree with you.
The E on the leaderboard was caused by a previous patch. You have probably noticed it was fixed by the patch released yesterday.
You are right about the ball physics, I personally think there are some serious issues with it. But I also believe so of the issues you are seeing is with the RNG in the game. That the game cares less about how well you executed the shot as much as the RNG to add difficulty to the game.
I wouldn't expect it to play like 2K as EA's game is its own entity.
I was like you when I started playing this game, due to all the unexpected results coming from this game because of the RNG.
Once I accepted I had no control until I got to my short game things got better mentally for me. I hit the ball, go find the ball... once within 50 yards... I use a spinner, flop or pick shot, make a putt... rinse and repeat. Unless of course I hit a green in regulation... then either I eagle, birdie or 2-putt. Bogies are rare.
You are not in control of the long game, accept it and things will get better for you.
