Anything change with lie penalties?

(lack thereof mostly it sounds like)

I keep seeing people wondering/complaining about that not being nearly penal enough anywhere off the fairways.

It's a real game breaker for a golf game to not reward/penalize keeping your ball out of harms way. This is not a problem unique to EA Golf either.

The problem is certain shot types take the strategy out of the game. In heavy rough you use "hack" (I think it's called) and it treats it like 100% lie. Also the finesse shot feels OP.

Flop shots are definitely OP. In real life a flop shot is very hard to pull off properly because there is such a large margin of error, whereas in the game they are quite simple.

It seems unlikely they’ll ever change that given their focus away from challenge of shot execution itself … that’s where the Flop challenge actually is supposed to be

I straight up had to stop myself from using flop shots unless it's the only shot type that can work, because they're just way, way too good. IRL, you want to keep the ball on the ground as much as you can, because it's the most predictable place to be. In the game, you want to minimize roll and keep the ball in the air as much as possible. The flop on gold means that a really bad shot is like 6 feet away from the pin. That just takes so much challenge out.

i hope next update will fix AI issue we need -40 from AI players ....-25 what they usually do now on 100lvl is not enough. difficult slider needs to go 150lvl so AI can play better

Leave the AI as is but an increase in difficulty is very much needed.

Still can’t choose the amount of rounds in career mode. What a bummer. 4 rounds is way to long when i can only get a round in once a day max and i dont like the randomness of quick mode. I definitely score better in a full round than the computer simming 70% even scores for me

Didn't Oblong warn us that when things got fixed in a patch other things would break?

I would imagine they will at some point ramp up the speed on the hardest difficulty in that 3 click they got. Seems a little too slow.

That’s consistent with most games to be honest.

I agree there should be an option but quick rounds has been a game changer for me. I played one tournament, all 4 rounds, shot -23 and ran away with the thing. When doing the quick rounds if I actually missed a cut, it makes the game way more challenging for me atleast, and brings an element of unpredictability to each tournament. If not I’d finish top 5 every time.

I would imagine they will at some point ramp up the speed on the hardest difficulty in that 3 click they got. Seems a little too slow.

On normal swing it almost seemed like there was a latency issue as I could never time the 3 click meter right at all. I swear I was pressing the button precisely when I was in the perfect spot and on both the distance and the accuracy area I was always just a little late.

It felt like TV latency so I literally double-checked all my settings to make sure TV was in Game Mode and there wasn't some outside issue delaying my inputs and there was not.

I tried 9 holes with one of the PGA pros rated 92 and found it much better. Also, I was able to hit the perfect spot about 50% of the time and when I missed it was by a "smidge" and it didn't affect my shot terribly.

In comparison, as my created golfer at 73 rating right now, I could not seem to stop the meter in the perfect area and in fact I would miss it to the right by a decent chunk causing me to slice everything terribly. I took my 10 available point and put them 7 into driving accuracy and 3 into driving control and it seemed to help.

At this point, either because of the tweaks to my golfer driving abilities or because playing for an hour my brain was starting to learn the timing, things got a little better. I could hit the sweet spot about maybe 33% of the time and when I missed it wasn't by a lot and I didn't get punished nearly as bad. So, I am thinking a lot of my problems with the timing will get better as I level up my golfer. Guess this replicates how hard it is in real life to be a beginning golfer.

I like the 3 click somewhat, but I miss the analog interaction with the left stick too. Did this patch tweak the analog stick at all as the EA crew stated they were going to do, or is that for an upcoming patch?

Re: EA Sports PGA Tour Patch Adds 3-Click Swing, New Presentation Settings, PC Mouse

In response to my own reply above, I just had the opportunity to try the game on my PC and all the issues with three-click or non-existent. I was able to hit the perfect mark almost every time on the normal difficulty level. I would have thought that the PC would be more susceptible to latency issues if that is indeed what is causing this on the PS5. I may have to try it again on the PS5 and see if it was a one-time issue or not. Or perhaps the PS5 is struggling with all the graphics and it's causing issues with the timing on the controller. Who knows, but after playing it on PC and using an Xbox elite controller, it was almost too easy to hit perfect shots.

I don't think broadcast camera tee to green is working correctly. I guess if maybe it is it would be from a broadcast I've never seen.

The camera stays very far back and zoomed out and only goes to the ball once it's settled on the Fairway or wherever it's landing spot is. It makes it very hard to see where your ball is going.

On real broadcasts the camera is at angles that capture the ball in air and rolling on the fairway. I am not getting anything like that.

No it still seems wonky and exactly as you described post patch as well. Hopefully they can fix that, but if that's what's intended, its a poor broadcast camera.

I agree whole-heartedly with this! The broadcast camera looks broken to me. It might even be worse than the broadcast camera in Tiger Woods 14. I'm really disappointed in the limited camera options in this game. I'm not a fan of follow camera, even when they're done right, but this follow camera leaves a lot to be desired compared to EA's follow cameras of golf games past. And the Pro, presentation option works good until the camera cut.... it cuts too late the the downrange view, and secondly, it often cuts to views that are more obscure than your original view perspective.

I wish they would give us an option of when to switch to the downrange camera view, and then give us more fixed options for reverse angle views of from say 135 to 180 degrees looking back toward the golfer. Putts are impossible to follow completely using the pro view once you get outside of 15 feet.
