taking shots
I would rather take a lesser swing on a higher club than a full swing on a shot I don't want to take, i.e. say 157 yards to pins, default 9I wind the face, I would rather club up to an 8I and take le...

@ELF014 I agree with you, the roll and spin of the ball are a little bit exagerated on both side. The lie doesn't affect the ball like it should. For the putting, my opinion is that the gameplay mechanic is ok and realistic, but the green are not fast enough.
I think the game is amazing but the only thing I can criticize about the EA team is that they don't seem to put much effort into the game and they don't listen to the community. I know I'm going to get lingered on this forum but due to the way this game was sold, EA needs to listen to the simmers community.

This game was built with a mode called Arcade? So people who play arcade mode should have NO say? The community is more than just the "simmers".

I don't think that is what @Mickstudio1308 is suggesting. I believe he is saying since the game was basically marketed as a sim... that more effort should be made to it make closer to being one.
But a revelation just popped into my head... maybe this is what the designers of this game believes is a simulation.
If that is the case... then we just have a mismatch of philosophies. Maybe I am expecting too much from EA.
- @ELF014 I'm ok with the fact that you can add some helper for the player that want to play a more arcade game. But the question is not to satisfy simmers or satisfy arcade players, it is about creating a game that comes as realistically as possible to the real sport of golf. I want to play to a golf video game because I love the sport of golf. This is not a question about "hard" or "easy", it is about the sport of golf and all it's difficulty. I don't want the game to be harder, I want the game to be more real.
- @SlimDown57 You are right, but with all the difficulty setting and all the helper available that make the game easier, I think that EA has already listen to the arcade community and that you have everything you need.

So you would have to eyeball every shot you line up... and distance would be controlled by how hard you hit the ball along with the length of swing. ie. Velocity based.
In real life you can take a putter back 6 inches and stroke it 6 feet or 60 feet. The same is true for full and partial shots.
Currently you just setup the distance you want and execute your shot. Granted there is a little under/over swing that effects distance, but I feel it is more realistic to remove this all together for those that want it.
But I agree it isn't about hard or easy... it is about trying to bring this sport as close as possible to our homes.
As I said maybe my expectations were too high. That while packaged as a sim, EA doesn't have it in them.
Make it hard to find.
