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.
And another day of EA saying, "we hate 3 click players."
Why is so difficult EA, for you to not include the pathetic requirement of playing in a daily tournament that costs more than you can earn back in points, so that everybody is on an equal footing when it comes to being able to do the daily quest?
Is it too complex for you to wrap your heads around, or is it that you simply hate anybody who can't use a game controller?
- @Noya_Wesa I agree with you that PGA Tour 2K21 was the most enjoyable golf game. I had PGA 2K23 (Tiger Woods Cover) but the 2nd patch had a bug that forced my shot left regardless of shot angle. I ended up trading 2K23 for FIFA 2023. I am also a 3 click player except for putting. I use the stick for putting.
I'd love to be able to use a controller in all truth, but I have limited mobility on both thumbs, so gripping and manipulating a controller is almost impossible without forcing more pain that it'd be worth, so I'm stuck with 3 click, unless they add mouse swing as an input method. A mouse can be guided with just downward pressure of the hand, and I can adjust my rest position to hold the side with my index finger instead of the thumb, or better yet, I can use a trackpad in mouse mode, as I do for 2K21.
Re 23, I bought the TW Edition, but still much prefer 21. 🙂
@Noya_WesaSorry to hear about the limited mobility on the thumbs. It surprises me that the EA does not have tournaments for 3 click players. Requiring tournament participation for daily quests is not a good idea especially for 3 click players and also when tournaments are not available.
