The online lobbies and game modes rotating is an improvement but...
I wanna start by saying the online modes are moving in a much better direction. Fuller lobbies and rotating game modes are def a plus. But... a lot of times the whole lobby will get disconnected when trying to load into a game with anything more then 4 or 5 players. I can tell cause when I re-queue up its all the same people so obviously they didn't make it in either. reoccurs 1/3 or 1/4 of the time. Not a dealbreaker, but definitely buggy. Also, nobody plays the 10-15mph game modes you guys can pretty much take those out at this point they're pretty dead. (also we need crossplay its the same 20 people playing this game)
Crossplay, and the ability to party up or invite players (even 'recent players' like gta online) would be huge if there were more people playing the game. This game is objectively better than 2K but the online play issues like this turn ppl off of this game.
couple other ideas - add one more game mode that kicks off a full 18 every hour or every 2 hours, stroke play, with higher rewards, with a 10-15 min queue up window for the lobby would guarantee at least a few full lobbies a day. Add a W/L ratio and a handicap to the leaderboards. More cosmetics that people actually want from nike, adidas, etc. The ball in the lower right that shows spin should resemble the skin you actually use on your ball. RNG is still pretty out of control even on perfect-perfect swings, tone that down a bit. Holding your swing at the top has way too low of a penalty on your ball flight which is pretty unrealistic). Add wagers to the match play online mode cause it's pretty slow compared to the stroke play lobbies. Allow players to switch outfits from the pre-search lobby in online mode. Allow adding specs to multiple clubs at once. All these little things (and crossplay) would make this feel like a truly finished AAA title, and maybe more people would play.
