I think Alternate camera views (eye level) from all playing areas, but mainly the green, would be helpful. Difficult to judge shots from 100+ ft. up. I think the equipment wear should be eliminated and ball count increased to, say, a dozen balls for credits paid. I can see if it if you loose one, but don' take my last one in the middle of the round and give me a starter ball when I have other brands. I think incramental swing meters should be standard for all clubs and allow more ball/club manipulation. And slow play seems to be a real issue. Alot of quitters. I think they should be penalized. I think people should be able to customize their avatars without cost to make it more individualized. Look at EA/TW golf. That has value (only $60) and is very customizable, although trademarks come into play.
Some very good players will get turned off if they have to pay for every single thing. I see a lot of high level players still playing starter clubs. That slows the game and makes it less enjoyable for everyone. Not everyone can afford this and the novelty could wear off if people see their hard earned money go out the window. Everyone has their limits. I think it is a good game and, all in all, I am enjoying playing. Looking forward to some updates that add value and make it even more fun.
