Too many times the ball will travel in a direction that doesn't make any sense.
For example, the wind is 7mph going left, I hit a centre perfect shot but the shot goes to the right of the aim arc, why does this happen?
It makes zero sense.
This doesn't always happen but can occur from time to time. I don't understand.
For those that say that the ball may be on an incline, this has happened off the tee.
I am failing to see how this is possible
@Stevie-G-you-seeI think it is coming from RNG. When I make a drive, I know the bunker is in the right side with a narrow fairway in one of the holes in Lighthouse Point. There is a wind going to the left at 6 mph. I aim my shot to the left and also angled to left to hit the rough or narrow fairway. The ball ended up in the right bunker like the sand had a tractor beam. I would need Obi Wan Kenobi to turn off the tractor beam.
Another instance is when 20 mph wind is behind the ball where I expected an Aaron Judge Home Run. Instead my ball went 40 yards short.

I cannot argue your point. I have seen it happen time and again. However... once you max out everything it seems to happen a lot less.
It certainly is a strange one.
It's interesting that the attribute points have an RNG effect on a shot. Personally I would expect attribute points to affect the difficulty of making the shot itself from user input rather than affecting the shot, certainly when the user inputs the perfect straight shot.
I am a 3 click player (sorry) so in my example the line I timed was perfectly in the middle (I wish I had took a screenshot of it) and my eyesight is generally good enough to spot minor details (it's actually part of my profession) so I am under no doubt that there was no way a slight fractional off click from centre perfection could have meant an exaggerated deviation from the intended target plus the wind was actually blowing 7mph in the opposite direction from where the ball went, so it makes even less sense.
To give more context, my stats points are middle to slightly high for driver accuracy and I have spent maximum points on this attribute, so it just needs better specifications for it to be near, if not, perfect now.
Dispersion - it's in the game.
Really?
Wow
So you can do everything right in a shot and it can still mess you up with RNG?
If I wanted a slot machine I would go to the casino.
That is an insane and poor decision from EA
Who in their right mind thought this was a good idea?
Here is me thinking it was a potential bug and they have actually put it in the game on purpose.
I am sorry but that has to go, it goes against the nature of an ACCURACY sports game
.... or at the very least, have it as an option to toggle it off and on
And yet you see posts from all the "realism" try-hards that want EA to do everything possible to make the game harder so they can have the satisfaction of shooting par on a golf video game. "ooh, randomness is just like real life!" I play Madden because I know I'll never throw a 70 yard TD pass in real life.
@Beerrun4uI like the ability of throwing 70 TD passes in Madden or a player scoring 10 goals in a single game in NHL. In PGA Tour, it took more than 3 months for my player to score -18.
PGA Tour lacks sliders or any option to turn off RNG and Lip-Outs. Madden, Fifa, NHL and even UFC has figured out how to handle difficulty settings with sliders.

I have no issues with some randomness, in fact I like the fact it was conceived by them. The issue is that in their wisdom they are using it as their main way to increase the difficulty in the game.
What is needed is additional difficulty levels with the swing, and to scale back the RNG for some of the shot types.
The players swing input should be 97% result of the shot, and the last 3% can be be from RNG. Meaning if I hit a perfect 300 yard drive, my dispersion area could miss 4.5 yards on either side of where my ball would land. For a perfectly execute shot from 100 yards I would be within a 3 foot circle.
I think this would be fair, as shot execution would mean everything, with the RNG taking away the limitations of the controller that allow dead straight shots.
In the end even the RNG is not doing what was intended as the game is still far too easy at all skill settings. All it did was frustrate people with golf shots that cannot be explained.
