Re: Arcade Should Be Easy While SIM Should Be Hard

I think there should be the option to turn on/off RNG and control lipout frequency. TW14 and 2K depend on skill instead of RNG. I played the easiest settings on both games and I don’t have to worry about the sand having a tractor beam. I stopped playing current game and move on to 2K23.


I personally think the game is pretty easy overall. And I think they have catered to the Arcade player. The issue is as mentioned by another polster on here. I have argued this issue across all difficulty levels. The RNG is a bit out of control in this game, it is almost like EA is using it to create difficulty in the game.

It should be used instead to create some slight randomness to shots... not to change the quality of an executed shot.

They got this wrong in the worst way... but it is not the only thing whoever in charge got wrong in this game. The game is pretty but there is no golf in this game.

    I agree with you with 99% of the post. The RNG really ruined this game and has rendered the game unplayable. The physics is absolutely off and there is no golf in this game. It feels like a superhero game.

    The only part where I agree to disagree is the comment about the game catering to arcade difficulty. We are in opposite ends of the spectrum in skill level where I am at the amateur level. Our vantage point of what is easy is absolutely different. If this game actually catered to arcade difficulty, I would still be playing this game and not moved on to 2K23. TW14 and 2K23 caters to all levels. I don’t even know what player base the current EA PGA tour caters to.
