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
I'm trying something new, we are now playing multiplayer mode private games with new avatars that don't have skill points or specs.
The RNG is what it is... and as I have said in other posts I just hit the ball and go chase it.
The game is still too easy at the hardest settings. We played two rounds and I still shot well under par.
I have noticed that using performance mode my distance control is much better than before. Or they changed something in the last patch.
Things are a bit more challenging, but it still is no where close to where it needs to be. RNG definitely needs to be tightened up, and the swing mechanics need to better represent controller input, with options for all level of players.
And of course ball physics that make sense.
the wind is a total joke. had so many wind issues today
after 1 round I just turned the game off.
really sad because I was really looking forward to this game.
I have terminal cancer and around 6 months left and I just can't believe I
wasted darn near 100 bucks on this crap, but then again what should I have expected
after the past I have had with EA.

Sorry to hear about your personal challenges.
But I hear what you are saying about your recent past with EA. I took a pretty long hiatus away from video gaming so my memories dare much further back for this company.
I remember a fledgling company called Electronic Arts, that were truly innovators in the sports gaming field. It appears the company I remember is long gone. And instead of a small dedicated team wanting to put out the best product they could has instead become a corporate juggernaut looking to make as much money as they can instead.
It's too bad they haven't realized they can do both at the same time.

Yesterday while i was watching PGA golf i think the leader was - double digits! They must find a way to make it harder for them to score that good.
@SlimDown57I'm okay with it... it took them 4 days to get to a score low enough to close to what we get on one round.
I am not advocating to increase the difficulty for everyone. I'm just asking for additional settings to make game challenging for everyone. Even at the hardest settings this game is too easy for most of us.
If you had flipped the channel to watch the LPGA the final score was in the single digits after 4 rounds. And only a handful were under par.
Being able to shoot -15 or -20 isn't my idea of fun. Though I don't begrudge those that do.
EA Staff (Retired)Hi PGA Fans!
Thanks for taking a moment to share your experience with PGA Tour and feedback on shot behavior.
We love to see the feedback and will continue to pass what you share on to the team. I did want to share some information to try and help improve your game and make shots more consistent.
First, we have some deep dives created by the team to break down Shot Types and the Pure Strike technology used in EA Sports PGA Tour. Along with that, the team has made several adjustments with each patch released, you can find patch information on our board.
Hopefully, the information above can help improve your game. If you do continue to see inconsistency with your shots let us know the following.
- Skills you have unlocked
- Specs you have equipped
If you do come across anything that might be a potential bug, be sure to create a post on our Bug Report board with the following information.
Platform (Device Model):
PSN ID/Xbox GT:
Are you getting an error message?
Date this issue started (is it still happening?)?
Is anything else happening?
Do you play with a controller or M&K?

Hello!!
I remember the 90's and your bada$$ games that came out for SEGA GENESIS like ROAD RASH and BLOCKOUT and if memory serves PEBBLE BEACH GOLF LINKS!!
In PBGL there was harsh wind and RAIN, we had to play through rain!!
Here is what I just did at Pebble Beach on your competitor's golf game with the settings on BOTH games the same (easiest).
On your version, by the middle of the second round I was at PLUS 10!
Look what I did on the 2K SPORTS PGA 2K23...
Regards,
Luis
Here's a shot that I will NEVER get to make on EA PGA....
But I made it tonight on 2K SPORTS PGA...
TPC Scottsdale 13th PAR 5, second shot.
