Stop ruining tournaments with high winds!!!!!!

For anyone other than tour players, there is hardly anything to do in the game. Can’t compete against each other online and the tournaments are the only thing to do besides play with friends. To be honest, I’m sick and tired of playing with the same handful of guys every single day. I want to play online, pro settings, against other players…MAKE IT HAPPEN.

The current seasonal tournaments straight up suck with 12 mph winds. It’s not fun, GET IT OUT AND QUIT RUINING WHAT LITTLE BITS WE HAVE TO PLAY. 

Im not opposed to high wind tournaments, just make some in the same category that don’t have them…so like add more. Doesn’t take a brain surgeon to figure out giving people choice will make more people happier. If someone wants winds, let them have it. Don’t force it on EVERYONE. 

So like here is a pro-tip…instead of 4 seasonal tournaments, make 8. 4 with high winds, 4 without. Simple, make people happy instead reducing what little we have to play.

  • @RodSirloin -11 East Lake on Amateur Seasonal and I’m ranked 9th…what a waste of time and tickets. Annoying and frustrating, the exact opposite of why I play video games.

    Stop making these tournaments so hard and unfulfilling. I normally finish in the top 5% and some player with entry level skill will just end up playing something else.

    Easy fix - 8 tournaments for Seasonal. 4 with stupid winds and 4 without. If EA is worried about too many payouts, make it so if you play no winds you can’t play the high winds so nobody can double up on coins.

    The whole tournament structure needs re-doing giving players plenty to get on with and incentives in the form of decent payouts so people aren't constantly running out of coins and tickets.

    Like you say, too much will ALWAYS be better than too little. EA need to decide if they actually want people to play the game. If they do, then they need to take a look at what they did with tourneys on TWO and give people a fighting chance of building coins and tickets.

    @BlackCat09522 Looks like EA took my advice and did a test bed on the dailies, low wind vs high wind.

    Good work EA, let’s Make EA Golf Great Again.
  • The wind seems to be random on tournaments.  I’m fine with a mix, which is what we have.  Learn to play the wind.  It’s not hard, especially on arcade and pro.  If the wind is blowing left to right, then you want to hit a shot that’s right to left and Vice versa.   It more or less takes the wind entirely out of it.
