I've actually have become a bit put off... I get it, many of you have TGCtours and that is why you play.. I mean, it makes sense, TGCtours is great if you like competition or fairness.
There is a faction of of us whom love playing with friends and that is really what pulls or sucks us in for the most part. I applaud HB on the steps they've taken with live multiplayer but I would be lying if I didn't say that I'm still not satisfied like I am with other multiplayer games because of it's fundamental failure in fairness.
Bottom line, the private match feature is awesome, but most of the time I have found that either there is no one on to do a private match with when I can play, or I just don't want to be social at that particular time.
This leaves us with matchmaking- I have to hand it to HB, it's a great quick way to get in a game for the most part but that is where the fun ends quite honestly because most of the time as Master Club user I get paired with someone whom is as good as BLUEORF or DOYLEY using the easier clubs that not only give them a distance advantage but also more favorable outcomes. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not accusing blue or doyley of doing this, I'm using them as examples because they're really good players.
My beef here is I feel like the whole setup is a waste of my time because of a lack of a lobby where I can have many quick options for a game that is suitable for my skill level and club choice.
The reason I'm bringing this up again is because I do believe it's important for HB to understand that many of us are souring on the game just based on this matchmaking situation. Once frustration sets in, there is a real damning effect on the enjoyment of the game overall.
I guess you could say, that even though I still think it's one of the best games I've ever played, it's suffering from the flu which makes me want to stay away. Heres to hoping that HB is listening..
