Please REMOVE Crooked Numbers
It’s got to go, it’s just not fun. 15mph, then a rainbow putt line from 4 feet away, terrible courses, terrible greens. It’s like I can only play 3 days a week online if I’m lucky with these not fun ...

@Weyland4kI have an Xbox account of the same name, but I no longer play Xbox. I attached pictures of my pro/arcade and sim records in Stroke Play. I'm 426-9 in Pro and 96-0 in Arcade. This comes out to 522-9 in Pro/Arcade Settings and 348-9 in Sim but these aren't even ranked high on Playstation 5 leaderboards because I quit playing this mode many seasons ago. I hadn't checked these rankings in many months and I told you I thought I was somewhere near 500-5 and 522-9 is pretty close to that number. There are a lot of skilled players on Playstation, many of whom I've played against. I don't claim to be the best by any stretch, but I do have a very high winning percentage in all online modes. My only point was that wind on pro doesn't make it much harder than 1-2 mph in my opinion if you simply know how to spin the ball well. I've actually played countless rounds on Pro where I never had more than a 5 footer for the entire round. On sim, I've gotten used to making 10, 20, and even 30 foot putts relatively consistently because you are forced to learn how to truly putt by playing that mode when there aren't any beads or white lines showing you the way the putt moves. The white line can actually be a hindrance more than a help on lots of putts and I oftentimes don't look at it unless it's a long eagle putt on a driveable par 4. I've been playing the game for a full year already, so you can take my opinions with a grain of salt if you'd like.

I went back and looked, you did say Arcade, but you post a wall of text without paragraphs and it’s harder to read so I only saw Pro, which is my mistake. I apologize. I left the game for a long time and didn’t know they did Arcade matches which is way easier than it’s ever been with a full line compared to old Tiger Amateur mode. It’s just too easy.
For Pro, 426-9-30 in 82 matches reads differently than 500-5. But to be honest, regardless if those numbers would be sustainable or not, you put up really good numbers.
I think if you do match play online and play 99’s, your record is going to look a lot different. The top guys on Pro play as it’s always been, hole out to win which is the hardest thing to do in this game, all difficulties considered. To say that’s easy is simply not true. Tigers of yesteryear, different story, this release holing out is waaaaay harder than it’s ever been.
Top 1-5% and people at those ranks shouldn’t be catered to, which fortifies my original post that Crooked Numbers should be removed for all difficulties at this frequency.
I’m sure the average level Tour or Sim player dislike it more than they like it as well.
But one thing that is an absolute truth, the top 5% should never be catered to. It’s not fair to everyone else and in the gaming world, units need to be sold, players are needed to come back, make it too hard and you have a handful of people which kills the product. I think that’s very reasonable.
