win percentage (%)
there's someone on PC that posts a 95%-win percentage (94.5555523423 something like that) and you expect me to believe that's legit?
that's like Tiger Woods going out and winning all but 1 event over 5 months, not going to happen.

Thanks.I do report people I think are cheating and you (EA) seem to do NOTHING!!
@-Roasted513- It’s because they simply don’t care about the everyday cheat. As soon as someone does something that could damage their brand, they will soon act. Cheat in an online game and they’re nowhere to be seen. Mention the word scripting or anything else to the same effect on their forums and you’ll get warnings and bans. Are their games scripted? Of course. Will I get a warning? Of course. Do I care? Not a chance.
EA’s sole interest is money… YOUR money and online gaming has been a thing for about 20 years and EA has never really cared about online cheats.
- @ragingsaint My win % on PS5 is 95.8% (1169-51 in online play) and 98.5% in tournaments (835-8-4-0 in tournaments). It's not that hard to imagine someone else legitimately having a win % of 95%. Why do you assume they are cheating?

Why do you assume they are cheating?I don't think win % is a good indicator of anything. I have pretty high win rate as well.
Generally in online I have not seen anyone personally make a score that I would consider to be cheating. The top player in most matches usually hits the expected number of birdies/eagles (basically every hole should be at least a birdie and if a hole is reachable under regulation there should be an eagle) or maybe has 1 hole out.
I do find some of the tournament scoring a little suspicious. When people start to get more than 1 or 2 hole outs for 18 holes, and they are doing it consistently, it seems a bit too good to be true. We are seeing scores like these from the same people on Xbox.... Granted I know tournaments have unlimited replays, and maybe they just play 18 hours a day, but I don't find hole outs to be all that frequent.
- @7AnimalMother I agree. Although win percentage does tell a lot more about a persons skill than the point system does. Points are only telling who played the most in each difficulty and each season. The way points works, you can get 500-600+ points per season per difficulty level now so it just is indicative of who wants to play the most. Not really a point in trying for points in my opinion because it's just a huge time sink with no reward.
People complain about cheating, but do not realize these guys that get these points have been among the best in every golf game that's been released. They don't cheat. They are that good. Packattack being one of them. They play a ton and it shows.
@busch1724people are NOT 'that' good, take out the unlimited attempts and we'll see how "good" people are
They are that good. Played with them for years in some for or fashion.
- @ragingsaint I try each tournament 1 time unless something stupid happens like shots bouncing off the flagstick. 95% of the time I play a tournament, it's 1 try and that is it. It's not that hard to be top 5% most of the time if you're really good at the game.
