sim mode green grid
I understand you (EA) want the "difficulty" in sim mode, (but for me at least), the green grids are almost ALL the same color tone, light blue to even white on flat, with sort of darker blues to reds...

this... is a video game....
From EA's website:
Premier Golf Gameplay:
Powered by official PGA TOUR ShotLink® and TrackMan data, Pure Strike provides unique golf swings with a fluid feel, and realistic outcomes on every golf shot.
Shot Types:
The 20 different Shot Types in EA SPORTS PGA TOUR give golfers all the tools to attack every hole like a pro.
Course Dynamics:
Lifelike Course Dynamics ensure no two golf courses play the same. Every fairway, green, and rough is meticulously scanned, handcrafted, and uniquely tuned to simulate the individual nuances of different courses and terrain variables like undulations, ground cover, and grass type.
Ball Behavior:
Innovative Ball Behavior has been redesigned from the ground up. New technology allows every golf ball bounce and roll to behave more accurately across a greater variety of terrain and course conditions.
It sounds to me like this was supposed to be a simulation and not an arcade game. A simulation doesn't mean you actually have to have a club in your hands.
I would be for adding choices, not eliminating choices. I played some sim match play this weekend and actually enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Having said that, I still prefer regular tour mode match play. It would be nice to have the choice up for both at same time.

I am fully for this... but I should have the option to turn off some of the features in private mode. WHY, is there a swing meter in SIM mode settings? I would basically remove all the aids in that mode. Is SIM is going to be the hardest mode, then everything possible should be disabled.
Looking at what EA has done, they really need to rebalance the settings for difficulty. What they have done is make people think they are better than they are.
In my opinion, PRO should require some skill to play. TOUR mode should be for advanced players. And SIM for elite players or those willing to except shooting some realistic scores. I would expect to shoot what I do in real life playing on SIM settings. May a few shots better because I can execute some better shots in the game.

They have always done that as I remember, that everybody should be able to hit like Tiger and progress to the top difficulty level. TW14 was the exception with this diagonal swing that even most sim players I know hated.

I know I hate it. It's not that difficult to execute once you understand how it works... but to honest you can workaround it still using a regular swing. You just need to realize doing so just means the movement of the ball is opposite what you expect.
The reason I hate it is because it goes against what you would do in real life. You don't change your swing when working a golf ball, you change your setup. Or at least that is how I have always done it.
This diagonal swing idea is just gimmicky... which explains the lack of understanding the game designer has about the game.
