Re: When will the next update come out? 5/2/23

It would be great if they’d release some kind of update as to what they’re working on specifically at least then I’ll know whether to trade the game in or not.

I'm sure we'll get the next set of updates very soon as the current 'Season' ends tomorrow so I'd certainly hold out for that, and to see if we get any more info. about future update plans as well (although I wouldn't bank on it).

I assume you've seen this? https://www.ea.com/games/ea-sports-pga-tour/news/ea-sports-pga-tour-community-feedback

I think i would be happy if EA said the was the "EARLY ACCESS " version. Maybe sales were bad and now its Abandon ware. They should lower The price on the game. Maybe get more sales. At the state of this game it might be worth $29.99

I really hope for a big patch with the new season. And hopefully no drama with sth not working out when the season changes 😞

what rank are you?   I think on daily pro i was like 126.  256 on weekly.    like 70 on competitive.   I guess i'm just bad at math lol.    I find the difficulty of the game fine but this is my first time using a controller.  ANd I don't think i've been putting spin on the ball correctly all this time lol.

Sadly the tournament rankings seem very heavily weighted by the number of tournaments played over some sort of average finishing position. For example on PS5 the top two on the Pro leaderboard are:

1     joonesy600000     Played = 71, Wins = 38

2     LZR_SloanerTW   Played = 68, Wins = 66

For context I'm currently 135 on the same leaderboard but have only been in the winner category twice, although this will be 3 times after the latest daily counts as I managed -6 at St Andrews 🙂. First time I've played this course after some significant power and spec upgrades that definitely helped. That I'm in any way troubling top scores does point to a mix of both an easier game and low participation in the tournaments though. The EA games I play most are the F1 games and there is zero chance of me troubling the top of the leaderboards in those!

I was just curious bud.  I'd say there is a healthy amount of players for a game that hasn't been on the pc in 15 years and I've haven't felt any dropoff yet.  As long as I can get competitive matchups i could care less how many people are playing.  Thats all that matters.  I'd say there is probably around 1000 people in the daily tourney.  I was once ranked 500 and 800.

As best I can judge on PS5 there are ballpark 3,000 participants in the daily arcade tournaments and closer to 2,000 for the pro dailies. I don't do the tour daily much to be as sure there. These numbers aren't a problem in themselves but do point to general participation.

Your experience with online matchmaking seems better than some but glad it's working OK for you.

I don't think there being no recent game in the franchise on PC really makes any difference personally. It's a golf game and other golf games have been available and played on PC. A few may be very loyal to particular series but mostly I'd guess those interested in golf games will judge each new one on its merits.

Shouldn't we have had an update today for Season 2?  Season 1 is officially over and there isn't anything new for season 2.  That's pretty disappointing at the moment since the PGA Championship is just 2 weeks ago I thought we'd have Season 2 starting right away as well.  Anyone know how long the gap will be?

Probably next week be update...guessing be just before pga championship lol no idea 

On the EA F1 games there is always a gap of a few days between one 'season' ending and the next starting so I wouldn't be overly surprised if we find the same with PGA Tour. If it's what we're expecting it will need to be associated with a game update with the new course, unless it's been there all along I guess.

Pga championship on 18th May which is a Thursday so I personally think we will see a update with the course included on the Tuesday 16th May...icould be over thinking this but that's what I'm going with lol 

The communication with the player base is ridiculous.

I wasn’t expecting an update this week, but I was expecting a community post as to what’s coming up next week, an update as to what they’re working on specifically and perhaps a sneak at new store content.

A dev came onto Himo's stream and said the patch was coming next week. Sorry to those hoping for sooner, but I hope that helps ease the frustration so you don't steam over the coming days.

Everybody I knew,  friends and family,  left the pc after tw08 and went to consoles.  I'm the only one still on the pc.  PC Gaming in North America has generally been dead for a decade.   Most popular game I know of is Valorant and thats not saying much by old standards.  It is what it is,  pc can always have a resurgence.  Its not like people on consoles are jumping to play online either.   Only people I know playing online are my little nieces and nephews playing roblox and minecraft lol.  Their generation might push for better online matchmaking in the future if they get into positions of power.  We have to move to South Korea or Japan I guess if want real online gaming with competitive public matchups.

@RichACMy guess is that interest in online play will generally be higher on PC than console, thinking in terms of the percentage of players on each platform. One reason being you have to pay extra to play online on console whereas I don't believe you need to on PC? I play on PS5 where I need to have some form of Playstation Plus subscription to do so

They let this game go. Only 390 people playing. 2k has 1186 people playing and that's steam only it has cross play so more like 5000+.. Step up EA or let your game die!

@CkYMaximusIt only prove that 2k player doesn't have job ...

Bear in mind 2k23 has been on sale a lot longer and more recently fairly cheaply, so I'm sure significantly more copies will have been sold than EA PGA Tour. This will be a factor in current player numbers.

 I'm on the PC but I'm not on steam bud.

Im playing Forza Horizon atm on a completionist mission as ive burnt out on Career mode a bit, enjoying the gameplay but the format and lack of online is killing my interest. Forza MS is on its ay soon so brushing up on driving skills to prepare for it.... I'll happily switch back to PGA if turn based online play and proper lobbies are brought in.
