I'm confused by this.. They could have.

Dear EAsupport,

The game is just too easy for anyone that competed on your previous TW14 default simulation mode settings. This game just does not present a challenge other than playing online against others but that mode is sort of bland in itself.

I'm not faulting you for lack of content or even the gameplay itself. The game looks and plays rather great but the lack of a challenging difficulty is starting to make the game not worth playing for me anymore.

I'm only in the 2nd tourney of my career, won the first one, and I play on tour difficulty with the swing on "hard" and all the aids turned off including green grid and I still hit every single fairway and just about every green in regulation with my crappy as of now custom golfer. If it were not for my semi average putting I'd be shooting -15 every round or better.

I just cannot get into a game where it's so easy for me to hit every single fairway and green in regulation. The game will certainly become even less challenging as I improve at putting and my "custom" golfer gets better along with better equipment.

Please find a way to implement some kind of mode comparable to your "simulation" mode on TW14. If you can find a way to emulate that sort of difficult I could careless really if you add additional content or not because I'd be sold on the challenge the game presents along with it's stellar gameplay.

Thanks.

Ps. I've tested the 3-click mode and while some may swear by that mode I still find that mode way to easy. Maybe older people that have trouble seeing the screen find that mode difficult but for me it's not that challenging after some swings and getting a feel for the tempo of the bar. It doesn't even go faster when in difficult lies. At least you could have made fill quicker with bad lies and that would have added a challenge to it. It's the same tempo throughout for all I can tell so it's just figuring out the timing and once you get that it's easier than "tour-hard" difficulty.

At first i did love the 3 click because the sticks were too ez. Then i really missed using the sticks so i have not touched it. Was going to trade it in while i can still get something but maybe holding out for a patch. Other game is still #1 in my book. Not as flashy but plays a great game. Any news on a patch? I really don't care at this point about new courses..just hoping they fix the difficulty.

Just finished my 10 hour trial period and short story is I'm just going to continue on with TW14. A few thoughts though.

- Can be fun as has decent graphics overall, courses look good and animations are on par.
- Is way too easy even on the hardest settings with no grids after a round or two. Tough to miss a fair or GIR.
- As most have said, whoever sat down and penned these celebration animations was on something. Can't believe they got through.

I think there is promise here but it's too bare and way too easy. I enjoy my career and can't believe I qualified for the PGA after my first round in which I had a terrible score testing the system out. Couldn't believe it.

So I'll go back to TW14 and continue there. Hopefully next years version is improved. As I said, not a bad game but too bare and too easy.

No matter what I did with the difficulty settings I felt the game was way too easy with the left stick swing mechanic. I started my pro career over using the 3 click mechanic and I'm enjoying the game much more. I use hard swing difficulty, advanced lie, and wind gusts turned on. If I overswing or miss left/right the impact is huge. I feel like I'm actually having to weigh risk/reward with my club and shot selections now. Previously I basically couldn't not finish in the top 10 in tournaments right from the start. Using these other settings I actually missed the cut at the first 2 tournaments, finally made it by 1 shot at Bay Hill.

This has rejuvenated my interest in the game. It looks amazing and if they continue to add new courses I think I might have found some longevity with the game.

Lots of crickets on Rory of late. I didn't buy yet but did pickup NHL16 which I find pretty awesome. Is Rory looking like a buy post patch?

The swiftness with which the post release buzz died on this title is startling. The latest patch seems to have cleared up a number of gameplay bugs, but I don't see that many people commenting on it here, or in the official forum.

My posture on RMPGAT is this, until I get an option to turn off the post shot celebrations, turn off the tempo meter in the HUD during the swing, and real time, hole-by-hole scoring updates are added to the online tournament leaderboards, RMPGAT won't be on my shopping list.
