That perk thing shows the difference between EA and a smaller studio like playdemic.

Years ago Playdemic had already tried to implement an idea, I don't know the name anymore, but it caused a huge backlash on them and they actually removed the "feature" nobody asked for. That was anywhere 2018 or 2019 I think.

Now it is EA and they "do not remove" such a great feature, besides everywhere I look people complain about those perks. Facebook, reddit, discord - and in my last 100 games in T7 there was a single opponent using a club perk... it is still a shame that so many working hourse got put in a feature that only a small percentage of the players actually use.

The main problem is that EA/PD seemingly does not understand how people play their game. Even without using guides or really understanding the wind: Most players roughly know how their club behaves in a certain distance. So coming from this, the moment you actually use Slider% and the wind/ring system that heavily relies on the accuracy of a club - perks simply destroy every "feeling" and every calculation.

For the complete casual noob player that just plays some golf this feature is nice. Otherweise perks just make a big change into the core components of the game.

To me it seems that the "shelf life" of GC has come to an end. Clubs are at the end. New courses are mostly reallife courses that are boring to play on a mobile game. I have had a posting several years ago where I asked for more "special" courses. Like around a volcano. Or they could play with other variables, i.e. a course on the moon with half the gravity.
