Hard not to agree with what you said.
I have mentioned before, but it would have been much better to group 16 players into foursomes with turn order and a scoreboard showing all players participating and show highlights when someone in the group makes a great shot.
It would have taken longer to finish, but I think everyone would have gotten what they want.
Plus it is representative of actually playing a PGA event, imagine that.
I dojn't think the OP cares about having a golf sim. They want to play with other people competitively or socially. This is an e-sport bud. Maybe players like you who just care about physics and courses and don't find it boring to play offline by yourselves are the current majority of the community, but you are the severe minority of their potential playerbase in the video game world. EA not only dropped the ball, they seemed resentful and spiteful and killed off any potential for an online community from day 1.
The fact they make us reque every 2 mins to try and find players, is somone at EA raising up two middle fingers at us.I would respectfully disagree with your statement.
I play mainly online with friends... and when the game first came out I participated in the tournaments but didn't find them them very rewarding or competitive.
I can no longer get my group to play this game. They all think it is a farce to call it a golf game. It is just missing windmills and clowns to describe what it actually is.
I would argue those that care about physics and gameplay are actually the majority of a silent user group... especially in the golf simulation genre.
It would pretty much explain why no one is playing this arcade game.
You sound like someone who never even played thet past golf games that were hugely popular for reasons you seem to not know about. or care to admit imo. I will be going to buy 2k golf now, the more popular golf game, which you probably would call mario cart......lmao.... but hey you win man. Youve dominated these forums, probably influenced development, and now the game is pwned. congrats.

I have been around before computers came out... I have played the first golf games every created on a console, where it was a stickman and a single pixel representing a golf ball.
Golf games were what they are because of what it was compared to at the time. Links was a great golf series, for the time. But things evolve... as they should.
The Golf Club series (now 2K PGA) is what brought me back into video games. I have owned and played every one on a regular basis since it's release in 2014.
THERE IS A REASON why arcade golf games went away. Do you think it is a coincidence that EA stopped making them for almost 10 years?
Save your money... though 2K is not perfect, it is a lot closer to a sim than an arcade game. Even playing at the beginner levels with all the aids enabled and timing turned off you won't be holing out every shot.
But you might like Everybody's golf... it is arcadey with a golfing theme attached to it. And still plays a reasonably fun casual game of golf lite.
The only reason I seem to dominate these forums is because there is no one here. Just like the game.
And they don't listen to me, they aren't listening to anyone.
Nothing I have asked for has been implemented into this game.

I honestly don't believe you at all . Because to tell me this game is an arcade game like mario golf, or the fact you think sim players are why the past games were so much more popular, is so far from reality its absurd. You are all thats left in this game now bud. congratulations. You pwned it, just like your avatar signifies.
@ELF014
You have no clue what you are rambling about. Nobody wants a sim that is as difficult as real golf. Just you and the few others who are constantly begging the devs to make the game harder for everyone else. This is a video game. I know for an absolute fact that the vast majority of consumers want to play a VIDEO GAME and don’t want to stress out like real life. That’s the entire reason the old Tiger Woods games sold so incredibly well. You know, because people want to actually have fun while playing a video game? The hardcore sim crowd is a tiny fraction of the user population. But you got your wish now and we all have to suffer for it.

There is nothing in this game that plays like a sim, so I don't know from where you are arguing from.
As for the previous games being successful, that is a relative statement and at the time the only viable console golf game in the market that I can remember. During a time when the sport was popular.
The Golf Club was released in 2014, EA's last game I believe was released shortly after. The Golf Club was built to be more of a sim, EA's game more of an arcade experience.
This was EA's last golf game for 9 years, The Golf Club continued to grow and eventually was bought by 2K.
You are right this is a video game, however did you read the promotional information for this product? It was packaged as a full on sim... so I don't think it wrong to have expected more from this game.
I have no problem for EA to cater to the arcade community, but how about creating a game for everyone?
And I would suggest the semi/hardcore demographic is larger than you think. I don't think it is a secret why no one is playing this game.
The Golf Club/2K community is still going pretty strong after 9 years.
