I love the theory. But, unfortunately, I just don't think there are enough players consistently playing online matches to make lobbies viable. I prefer SIM, and I can't help but think that lobby would be dead if people could freely choose any of the other difficulties. I feel confident the SIM matches I get now are people playing their 2nd, or even 3rd difficulty choice. You mention your preferred choice is TOUR. How do you know for sure the vast majority of players still here playing online matches don't prefer PRO mode? Because if they do, you'll sit in a TOUR lobby timing out waiting on matches. I am like you in one respect. I'll turn the game off if my only choice is PRO mode.
Yep I was hopping for something simialar where the players looked after themselves like tw14 so we can play 9/18 holes the choice was ours or choose our own setting. Instead we get treated like idiots. The current online set up is a joke. It purely there to keep the leaderboards fair but the leaderboards are broken mess. All the top player don’t seem register their losses the idiots not quitting before they lose are massively punished and the ones that quit to keep their amazing win loss ratio are the only winners. I’m fed up of this crap. Keep the lesderboards but let us control the lobbies and the setting. The leaderboards are nonsense and full of cheating
The playlists are crap Aswell. For example if you only like simulation then you only get to play 23 tour ocean view and fast firmness on match play just loops around you don’t get to play like majors or crooked numbers. It’s laziness bordering on negligence. Can’t even rotate the playlists properly. Don’t understand who calling these shots but they need removed from that position. Also apex hound played a game with devs on you tube and they didn’t even know how to play their own game. They need to hire some1 that is good at the game to help them understand where their priorities should be because right now it’s the blind leading the blind

EA actually had a guy like that, he was so good at the game that a member here reported him as a cheater. He's the same guy who left EA to go work to the 2K golf game as a Lead Game Designer.

Having all the lobby options available would eventually tell you what's the most popular and the others will either stay empty or they can delete them. This might bring people back knowing their preferred mode is there every day. I for one do what the OP says, check the schedule for today and tomorrow and decide if I want to stay, go play some non-EA game or go back to work. I posted it before - they need to get rid of the crappy themes which only limit what's available and set up AM/Tour/Sim areas with Stroke/Match/Alt Shot/BB, etc inside of them with random everything to include tees. . This might even encourage a rational ranking system, which for "competitive" play is essential. That's just another reason I'm no longer invested in the game since there's no absolute standings to base your play against others. They also need fix the boot issue. The standings in stroke are geared towards large lobbie yet you stay because there's 8 - 10 people then get sent back to the lobby on launch or get into the game with 4-5 players. I don't need that for a match that can take close to 30 minutes.
