I hope someone from EA is monitoring. A group of us play pretty much sim settings in the game and find what is available lacking. What I an suggesting is not a complete list but what believe would highly improve the playability of the game.
01. Ability to remove the aiming reticule for all modes of play.
02. Have a measurement tool NOT associated with aiming. This so you can still check a distance but must manually eyeball your shot as in real life without the reticule. This will also address an issue in your putting system, this way you can still set the weight/distance of your putt without the aiming reticule. You would use the measurement tool in its place.
03. Have hazard areas shown in overhead map. I have not seen anywhere in the game that defines where OB is.
04. For multiplayer allow the HOST to define GAME as well as USER parameters, along with an option to leave the parameter open for any setting. This will also reduce the need for all the presets that will eventually clutter the menu when additional modes are enabled
05. For multiplayer, if we are not going to have turn based play, provide us an option to toggle between with the existing cameras.And a zoom feature so we can zoom in for a better view of the action.
06. Fix the issue where you cannot save audio settings on the PS5. Do not know if this is console specific.
07. Balls that are ending up against a rock or brick retaining wall are incorrectly showing as entering a water hazard.
08. While your lidar mapping appears to be spectacular, the green speeds seem slow. At tournament settings, balls are stopping on red downhill slopes at Augusta (maybe add another faster setting). Putting also does not seem to roll out as much as they should and the ball appears to stop rather suddenly. Most noticeablely ball reactions don't seem to mimic those seen on tv.
09. A zoom feature for sim players that would let you look about 30-40 yards from the spot of your ball. This will allow you to pick a target when you have hit an errant shot.
10. Access to all shots available to you. Not just what the game thinks you should hit. Change the club selection menu, with a submenu to easier access your shot type (it would mean for less button clicks and quicker access).
11. The ability to remove the swing meter from the game.
12. The ability to remove the range of yardage lost when in a hazard, maybe replace it a visual representation instead.
13. Increase the impact of being in a hazard. Currently being in a hazard usually has little affect on the outcome of a shot.
14. Include glasses/sunglasses as options in the store for purchase. Over 70% of people worldwide wear glasses it is shocking not to see this available in the game for character creation.
15. Not that I would use it... But meters available in the game in place of yards as a unit of measure. Of the 195 countries in the world only 3 are on the imperial system.
