Shots off target and shot line
(targeted at EA)
so here I am trying to play career mode for the pro pass and the game is so broken that most of my shots are 10's of yards off target and the shot line is straight most of the ti...

@ELF014 The thing is in real golf you can hit a good shot, ie .... it comes off the club, looks superb in flight, and still get punished.

I agree in general with you. But my point is if you make a good shot it goes where you aim it (even IRL). What happens after it lands, I don't expect to be in my control.
IRL when i hit a good shot, it doesn't always go in the direction i thought it would go, usually because the angle of the ball strike is slightly off and maybe because I haven't found the sweet spot on my strike, or the wind changes the trajectory. Pro golfers would agree that when they strike a ball it will go very near to where they are aiming rather than exactly where they are aiming, and as you say they have no control of what happened when the ball lands, but usually they have a good idea of what happens when it lands, thats why they use a variety of shot types and techniques to get the ball to land and run to where they hope it will end up, they don't always get it right

Then I would argue you didn't hit a good shot IRL. If the angle of your strike is off or if you didn't hit the sweey spot, was it a good shot? As for the wind, I agree, it could play some role in the flight the of the ball. But this game has large amounts of RNG in calm conditions.
And I agree on 2K if I am plsying a course I am familiar with I know what to expect from the terrain. But this has nothing to do with EA and their RNG model.
- @ELF014 what is a good shot/ the result of where the ball ends up, or the execution of good swing tempo and ball striking? Most pro golfers hit good shots 95% of the time, they practice day in and day out, yet the ball does not end up exactly where they were aiming, if you call that a bad shot, then it seems to me EA have got it right
