AI Golfer Commentary in Career Mode

Product: EA SPORTS PGA TOUR
Platform:Steam-PC
Summarize your bug The scores displayed and mentioned by commentary for the AI golfer you're playing with is not correct.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play Career Mode with Quick Rounds and with AI pairings on. I am playing on Normal swing and putt difficulty with 70 rated AI.
What happens when the bug occurs? When paired with an AI pro during the Career mode, the score and leaderboard position displayed for the AI pro, during and after a hole is not correct and is usually 1+ or -1 off. The commentary also mentions the same inaccurate score for the AI golfer. I have played with Cameron Champ, Jason Day and Scottie Scheffler and this has occurred with all three golfers. I also seem to notice that I am constantly paired specifically with Scottie Scheffler despite sometimes being more than three places ahead or behind him. Another commentary issue is the commentary will mention inaccurate past events: I am playing at Pebble Beach and have made the cut for the previous two events, but the commentary talks about my player missing the cut twice in a row. A small visual bug that also occurs is the last player putting will see the other player's ball still in the hole.
What do you expect to see? The scores displayed and mentioned for the AI golfer you're paired with should be correct as it makes the head-to-head battles misleading and meaningless. Commentary should also match past events with your player. The ball from the previous player should be removed from the cup once they're finished with the hole.

    Here are several screenshots. The AI partner listed before starting the round is incorrect (it says Spieth when the model and player I wind up playing with is Scheffler). If you look closely at the second screenshot you can see the ball still remaining in the cup.

    The last screenshot is the scorecard for the AI golfer, which incorrectly marks Scheffler as scoring a bogey (when he actually scored a birdie) on the preceding hole, which you can see in this clip. The score also does not change after he makes the birdie putt, it still shows him as +1 and then +2 on the following hole.

    I restarted the game and I am now paired with Spieth on the same hole from the same round in the previous screenshot.

    Summarize your bug When paired with ai, commentary is not right. Will comment on how bad shot was when I made birdie because ai made bogie

    What happens when the bug occurs? Commentary is never right, ai will make bogie. I will make a birdie and the commentary will say “and that will drop him down to -14”. But I actually gained a stroke on the lead. Also will constantly mess up the scores and who had what shot.
    What do you expect to see? I would like this to be corrected and to mention the score I actually had and not mess up how it impacted my round. Good shots the commentary will say it was bad and bad shots for me will be commented as okay if the ai does good

    Paired with Spieth, he makes bogie to drop a shot while I hit a birdie to go up another. Commentary is constantly saying something like “and that will drop his lead down to X”. Also getting the scores correct. I finish front 9 with a 30 but commentary said I had a 36 because that’s what the ai said

    I cannot record the clip quickly enough, but it seems like after the AI golfer finishes the hole the commentary mentions my score instead of theirs.

  • I agree. Can a bug be raised for commentary in general please. I see too many bugs to raise specifics, calling out that I've had bogeys when I have a par, saying I might win my first tournament when I have won before, wrong number of shots compared to what I've hit. Too many to mention.

    Play on playstation 5 digital edition

  • So you have this issue since April, and still no information whatsoever?

  • I have also complained about this, but no-one from EA seems to acknowledge. I love the career mode, but it is annoying that the commentary is dysfunctional and does not refer to what is actually occurring in the gameplay
