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...

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.
Thank you for the encouragement and the kind words! I did find the "sponsor challenges" today and those are believe it or not, more consistent than the Tour. I'll keep plugging away at it and hoping to get better as time on the controller goes by. I did play 2K Sports 2K23 for about a year before I figured out how to be better at it. Then it got boring, winning the FEDEX CUP four times with some seriously outlandish scores. A minus 40 at the Waste Management Open after four rounds!! Thanks again for keeping up with my rants!
THIS IS THE WAY...
