Does EA NOT want online h2h players?

The playlist thing is a rather poor and stifling design.

I only play pro settings and maybe get 3 days a week to play a playlist that isn’t unplayable for me.

1. Today is Crooked Numbers, hardest courses with 15 mph winds. I hate high winds and I don’t play courses like Evian or Torrey Pines. IMO they’re broken and not fun.

2. The day before was Stroke Play, I don’t like playing with 15 people. The game is buggy as it is and I find it hard to concentrate with 15 ball trails in the sky or when putting with multiple ball trails skittling across the green. I avoid these days, it’s not fun for me.

3. The day before was Ocean Courses, again 15 mph winds, not fun for me.

Just feels like they’re forcing the community to do what they want them to do and I’m not having fun.

I just don’t understand this approach, it’s clearly alienating the player base. Most people want to choose how they play.

  • @Weyland4k They should bring back the h2h lobby where you can create your preferred style of game and others can join if they want. That was a lot of fun!

    @Weyland4kThis all sounds about right, although I really liked TW14. This game is cooked, I don't expect any more big game play change with Patel gone to HB. It's going to be very interesting to see how the next 2K game will turn out.

    Tiger 14 was good, not their best but you could almost feel they were on the way out. I think that was the first nextgen one that has the really pixelated grass thing that drove me nuts, it took them a while to release too, I might have my Tigers confused though, but I think that was the one.

    They have sunk a lot into it already and I believe they have a lot of reserve power because it’s so bare bones and it’s a live service game. If they add the right features moving forward, they can corner the market. So far they’ve been adding the wrong stuff like 60fps, not needed. I have it disabled.

    If it’s money they want, they have a lot of blank canvas to work with. More clothes, socks, watches, glasses, pendants, player customization, country club hosted tournaments that cost coins, etc.

    @Weyland4kIt looks like they're going the XP Booster Pack way, to help new players to be competitive online and in tournaments faster.

  • Trust me, this has been a problem the last 5 months for PC users. The developers still have yet to talk about it or do anything about it. Give up trying to get their attention. I wasted my time last month and the month before.

    It's too late for it now. We are moving on to better golf games.

    This is the best golf game, just the online playlists are bad. Tried 2k, it’s a joke.

  • Well people cheat in PC cod so theres that, no ones cheating in EA PGA lol
