Time will tell! This game, or maybe this tour when they get tired of testing Pro Tours courses 15 times for the DB, will change. Seen as I test greens for DB in my society and you don't I'm afraid your beloved arcade balls are not happening here. What's your move if 2K delete de default ball and.make all grey ones free? 4 different default ball. And speaking of your society, I have a new rule for you to keep it fair and realistic. Did you know aiming a shot at 98% with the intention of hitting it at 100-101% gives more polling points and tempo? Very arcade, ban this now! And I'm not sure anymore, but 2 weeks ago it was still possible to quit a round, change your archetype, comeback to drive longer, and changed back your archetype after for the rest of the round. Another thing you should track to keep it pure. |

Another thing you should track to keep it pure. We don't use marker so hardly gonna ban that are we. Not that most people look for every little thing to make the game easier. Actually the more realistic you play the game the more immersion and challenge it represents.Regarding archetype, I have the same one from day 1, never changed it. |

It seems the consensus is that changing the conditions is a bad thing. So I'm glad people will no longer be using the power boost in a headwind skill and using fittings to improve their lie range in the bunkers and rough.

Default balls rollout is just too much on faster greens which is obviously introduced to have balls that have better stats and make course conditions easier. Regardless of sim which these arcade golf balls have no place there is the other factor of competitive play. Doyley and the rest of his team want a competitive tour here as do most of us that set up societies. How can it be competitive if someone with a consumable ball slows the green down by 30. The difference between a 160 speed green and a 130 speed green is massive in this game. Now everyone says the balls are not that VC expensive but that is beyond the point, people are not all going to be playing the same course difficulty. When we set up a tournament in our society we set it up to pose a different challenge for each day for everyone that plays that tournament, we might firm and speed up the greens for the weekend. The fact that someone can say 'sod that green speed I am playing my super slow stuck in the mud ball this round' is simply ludicrous. I think it's a very good option to have a consumable ball lock in societies and respect that some people like the more arcade balls and can still use them in their own society. For us that use default balls it's a very simple matter of toning those green speeds down a bit, simple solution. That's a moving story. Poor dude with 160 speed green. Big disavanatage!! 😌 But it's all fair there. I see 2 people using Legendary balls on fast greens. Friction for the cheater, Magnet for the victim. The numbers dont match with 130 and 160, but it dosent matter with you. So where are we playing this fictionnal story? Is it Winged Foot? Oh! The dude with the magnet at 160 might be disavantage yeah. Bad choice of ball for Winged Foot imo! Or maybe it's one of those fat CC course with lots of giant flat greens? Boy, give the trophy to the magnet baller at 160 here, he will have it easier than the one playing in mud at 130 Erick you’re drunk, go to bed 😘 |

Fair point, I’d hazard a guess that most folk here would be fine if skills got switched off too. |

I'd be ok with temporary boosts being buggered off, I do like the club fittings aspect of it though.

I think quite a few would find the game a lot less enjoyable if they were just playing with the base archetypes. |

I would never agree to remove the lie variety fittings. It's like my 7-Iron is talking to me. I can even hear him whispering "just loft me and I'll be tipping you even more on how deep your ball is burried" Leave us a bit of arcade play 😑 |

I concur, I think the fittings provide an opportunity for different users to counter cross platform issues (I.e. improved tempo on Xbox with rhythm) I also agree with your sentiments on balls, if roll wasn’t an attribute they’d be a lovely addition to the fittings. The skills are just pointless but if everyone else has then then they’re essential. I wonder if that’s also in 2ks nerfing radar |

We must level down until we all play in the same conditions. That's what competitive leagues do |

Until then, don't take the safe space this tour is creating for an act of purity |
