I'm a little bit surprised as I thought the $40 price point was more due to the amount of content available and additional content (courses specifically) will be made available as paid DLC. But I didn't think that the game will be all about p2w with respect to gameplay.
I'm still at Rank 2 and am finding the Kanaloa course challenging as it is with keeping the ball in the fairway a challenging ask. One more thing I've started noticing now is that the Perfect Impact while taking shots still leads to random results. Earlier I didn't see much of it as my player was poorly skilled with the clubs not having much of a carry. But now when I can drive the ball around 260-280 yards, and more if conditions are in my favor, it's becoming clear that Perfect Impact doesn't mean much. I lost to Rank 4 opponent yesterday (where hitting the Rough led to a +1 score) coz I hit Rough too many times despite nailing the 'Perfect Impact' (PI). Most of the times PI led to poorer shots than when I hit the ball with impact closer or on the pink zone. This randomization has disappointed me more than p2w aspect TBH. Even off the tee shots (where lie is not a factor) and taking wind into consideration you see PI shots being sliced or hook - look at the bottom left screen after hitting the shot and watch that most of PI shots are not in the middle of the club and towards right (slice) or left (hook) of the club leading to the ball ending up in unintentional areas. Hope this is patched coz it's beginning to ruin the gameplay for me.
