I noticed that even with the recently adjusted positive mark formula, the distribution is heavily weighted toward the PS4 platform. I'm not looking to do a statistical analysis, but just glancing at the tourney results it seems 75% or so of positive marks go to PS4. Any thought to the option to segregate tours by platform for those that would prefer a more level playing field?

Yes..we debated months about this thing. Really, months. And this is not a solution available. Or reasonable. This tour exists exactly to offer the chance to play across platforms. It would be the death of the tour. Furthermore..for example..i play on PC. The PC players here a huge minority. The game for me is harder looking a PS player (I tried and IT IS harder), but easier looking the Xbox players. What I should do? To play just against more or less 100 pc players? Thanks, but I prefer to play (and try to beat) everybody, PS players included. And after months of debate (in which we evaluated also the chance to use mandatory pro clubs to have a more leveled game, just to say..), i can tell you that even the majority of Xbox players thinks the same. The game is not perfect, but there is not a solution. We can just do our best and wait for a new game..hoping this thing will be fixed in some way.

We also have way, way more PS4 players than any other platform so regardless, it's always going to be heavily weighted to PS4.

gatorman in the past I would have agreed with you totally. still understand and support your comment to an extent.
But... ezzinomilonga is correct. And that was well said, ezzinomilonga . It used to bother me greatly. But as ezzi said (hope you don't mind the abbreviation!) this has been debated so much, its not really possible without a LOT of work by the admins, who I think already go above and beyond to create a place to try to cater to a lot of people. I have just resigned myself to come back and try to play on the main tours when I feel like it, and not worry about those that have it easier than me. I usually just click on the sortable tabs at the top, and make it say master clubs and pc users, and I look at that grouping, and don't really worry too much about the others. I play on community societies like USE to be able to play others at the hardest level, and play the same rules that I am. Even then, its still cross platform. which gives us more people to play against. There is no perfect solution without other people doing a LOT of work, and I'm not going to expect anyone to do any more than I would want to do.

I understand that this is a minor issue, but it almost seems like statistics could show the deviation in scoring by platform, and adjust similar to a handicap to account for the deviation. My goal is to improve and earn promotion marks. I don't get too much satisfaction being top 10 in the PC group, but 40th in the overall.

If i could score as well on the PC as players do on PS4, I would still be able to battle for promotion marks. There would just be more players earning promotion marks.

He said there's MORE people playing on PS4. This is true by a mile. No arguing it at all. There are PC guys putting up better scores than PS4 guys. Not sure separate tours would fix your issue. However, I'm here to stir the pot. Go buy a PS4? Maybe an Xbox? If you did the latter it would give you another avenue of complaint. 😎😎

I can guarantee that on pc you can score well enough to earn promo mark and also to win tournaments. The difference starts to be huge only on the best tours. I don't want to be offensive, please trust me. but if you play everywhere between cc and korn tour and you can't score well enough to be competitive, starts to consider that is not just fault of your system. Is harder..but not SO much harder.

Bring up a legitimate, statistically relevant topic (Well known too), it's just another complaint. Save for one, MAYBE two players on the Xbox console, the chance for promotion to occur via promotion marks is impossible.

We know it's easier on PS4. That matter has been settled for over a year. The question posed a couple of months ago was whether TGCT should do something about it.
There just wasn't enough support among players to justify the work that would be needed. It just wasn't there.
Hopefully the next game will be better.
