EA SPORTS PGA TOUR - Deep Dives

Any update on when we'll see more deep dives?  Courses, Career Mode, Multiplayer etc...

Hi @southernSNIDELY Thanks for reaching out and checking, currently we do not have any other deep dives to share! you can always keep an eye here and on the official news site linked above for any new communication from the team.

In the description of the Deep Dive Gameplay, they said some time in February is a Course Deep Dive. So really it could drop at any time.

last line of the description is "Stay tuned for our Deep Dive on all our Courses coming in February. "

Why is the game only running 30FPS? Will it eventually be in 60FPS?

I sure hope the next time we see fresh gameplay footage it looks a LOT smoother.

I can't believe how stuttery and herky-jerky so much of the gameplay/ball rolling is in the trailer footage.

That doesn't appear to be a 30fps issue, but more so a game engine/optimization issue ... or perhaps a problem with how the video was captured

You definitely can have very smooth ball flight and roll with "only" 30fps -- and it wasn't there in that trailer.

Looked good enough. Seems like the only putt shown in the trailer the camera angle changed and it looked a little funky but I think it was more from the video editing than actual gameplay. Watched it 4k and man it looks really beautiful.

I suspect they are running it a 30 FPS because all the other enhanced EA games that are currently running at 60 FPS are all having issues, shutting down consoles, frying consoles and PC’s GPU’s. I suspect they’ve seen what is occurring on other games. 

and then update it to 60 FPS, along side sorting the other issues with the other games

I'm personally aware of some issues with F1 2021 causing XBOX Series consoles to shut down early on in its life-cycle but there is no equivalent issue with F1 23. No consoles were 'fried' that I'm aware of though. I played both games at 120 Hz without issue on my PS5. 

What specific issues are you aware of?

The issues relating to Fifa 21, Fifa 22 and now Fifa 23 as well as Madden 23 continually shutting down consoles and PC’s and continually getting ignored by people at EA about this issue, all on PS5 or Xbox series X/S and a lot of PC’s. In all these cases it is specifically the one particular game that does it. 

But can play the Xbox one version or PS4 version of fifa 23 and have no problems at all. 

if you look at the threads in Fifa and madden, to which there are lots, you will see that most are being ignored. 

on another note I’ve been through the whole process with members from EA and continually say that it’s a console issue, however been speaking to Microsoft and some other people who I know in the industry who have said it’s a game fault. I have 33 games on my Xbox across an expansion card and an external hard drive as well as internal and out of all them, Fifa 23 series x is the only one that has the issue, likewise before it was only enhanced versions of Fifa 21 and 22. In the nearly 2 years I’ve had the console only those games. 

this isn’t a moan at all, I am genuinely looking forward to this PGA, however I’m very hesitant at wanting to get it because of the issues involving Fifa. 

I was unaware that other EA Games were causing all these issues of bricking people's consoles, shutting down, etc. Thanks for the heads up. That's perfectly good reason to have 30fps as the standard to prevent that if possible.
