3-click players in PGA Tour
why no mouse play in EA golf we need it
Forum Discussion
Hey EA, how about you address this at last?
I will preface by saying that I do understand the 'why' of not wanting to put 3 click in with those using controllers, as it is a very different gaming experience, however your solution to the issue is very far from 'fair for all players'.
You block 3 click players from all but the arcade daily tournaments, yet very frequently you throw the 'participate in a daily tournament' into the daily quest; it's been multiple times this past week.
So you want us to spend the points we earned doing yesterday's daily, plus more, to enter a competition that will pay back less than we can earn?
(Being paid in tickets is totally useless to 3 click players, thanks to blocking 3 click in anything but arcade...)
You say that 3 click can't do tournaments to make things 'fair' on all players.
All players, really?
Given that you make participation in the tournaments a requirement to complete the daily quest, how is that fair?
Fair could be to 'pin' the daily 4 hole tournament as arcade mode.
Fair could be addressed by having a separate 3 click area overall.
Fair for the sake of the daily quests could be a 'free for all' daily tournament that doesn't cost, but the only reward it gives is 'participation credit' for the daily quest. It would de-incentivize cheating, and still give people the credit they need, if you insist on leaving them as part of the daily quests.
Fair would and should be finding a way to allow all players to have equal opportunities to earn the only currency that you accept as payment for specialisations, once career mode and challenges have been completed. (Go do some math folks, and work out how long it will take a 3 click player to earn a legendary spec by doing the limited things you have left them with, especially with the number of missed days due to the tournaments preventing earnings...)
Fair would be not implementing systems that prevent people from earning the pittance you pay for the daily quests.
Fair isn't the bait and switch that has been pulled so far.
You promised 3 click before the game was launched, then when you gave it, it came with a cost: the cost of being cast aside and told that we can't participate.
Those limitations are something you completely fail to mention it in the product description, just as you failed to mention it pre-release, so yes, I do feel justified in saying you pulled a bait and switch.
To be fair: It would be completely unfair to stick the 3 click players and the analog swing players together.
That being said, it would make sense to
- either give full support for 3 click players with their own tournament section, own tickets (tickets earned using 3 click cannot be used for weekly analog tournaments and the other way around) etc etc, even if 3 click was an afterthought. That is, if a sufficient numbers of players actually utilize the 3 click mechanic.
- at least give an alternative "3 click task" whenever the "complete a daily" pops up.
With regards to tournament participation: yea it gotten less, but i think that's because the skill ceiling and accompanying level is rather high these days, so people think twice about investing their reward points / tickets for the increased chance of loosing more than they win.

I agree with that point entirely, there is no true comparison to be made between them. Swing stick is always going to be that bit harder to control,
The alternatives are (in my opinion at least) what should be looked at, to give an equivalent chance to earn the daily rewards, rather than marginalising one group or another.
Fairness for all is what EA said they are trying to achieve by setting things as they did, but their aim was off.
And another day to say thanks for nothing EA, as you exclude 3 click from the daily quest again.
What's that you say, pay more points to enter than I'll get back? get to f...
Is there any wonder why so many players hold your company in complete contempt?
Dear devs, if you want respect, try giving some to the players, until then, you get only what you deserve.
- @Noya_Wesa This seems like such a simple solution, I'm shocked they haven't provided something for the 3-click community.
If nothing else it would provide them some data as to the demographics between players.
I am aware that I have loss interest due to the lack of challenge in gameplay, but only realized this morning that it's been almost a week since the last time I was on.
I do check-in daily here though to see what's going on.

To be fair you have a "free" to enter tournament for swingers only. You should have a free to enter tournament for three clickers only. And they can't figure out why people think it's unfair.

If you read my entire post and didn't stop after the initial sentence as quoted, you'd probably have notice that i'm on your side.
All i said with that sentence was "pls don't mix analog and 3 click players", then i went on and wrote that if sufficient number of players utilize the 3 click mechanic, it would be an option to, quote: "give full support for 3 click players with their own tournament section", and that would obviously include a free daily even though i didn't explicitly write that.
Also i took the freedom to put your reply to that quoted sentence of mine where it belongs, so that it doesn't look like i wrote that 1 sentence and replied to it myself, with an empty reply on your end.
Finally, sorry for the late reply, still rooting for your cause.
