i want to be able to play local with my wife with her profile. but its not possible, will this be coming to the game? if not i will request a refund
I stop by my parents place every evening for an hour or so and play 18 holes of Tiger Woods PGA 14 on the PS3 with my dad. Been doing this for years now. We play "offline" with our own custom characters. (We always play offline and never use the PGA Tour golfers that came with the game.) One display, one PS3, two controllers. We start a practice round, select a course, select a game type, select our custom players, check our controller assignments on the controllers themselves updating the controller assignment for our custom players in-game to match (by hitting the triangle button) and away we go. No announcers, no fans, no player reaction after each shot, all that garbage is turned off. It's pure bliss. I was going to purchase a PS5 for my dad along with PGA Tour 2023, but if we can't continue the tradition I've described here there's absolutely no point. We'll just continue playing Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2014.
You can't play with two custom players at the same time!!? What kind of bovine ordure is that!? This is insane. I'm definitely getting a refund for this game. What a absolute joke. I can't even get my Sony PS5 account to link with my EA account because it was already linked to my PS4.
The amount of crap we put up with from EA is sickening. I want to burn their building down.
I would like to be able to play with up to 4 created golfers in any offline game mode. I'd like to be able to create more than four custom players. And I'd like to be able to add custom players to the leaderboard during any offline tournaments. This would be great for the future!
That's all well and good. In my case however, I don't own a PS5 yet. I'd be purchasing both a PS5 and a copy of the game for my dad. So yes, for now I won't be purchasing the game. If/when PGA Tour 2023 provides the experience I described I'll make the investment, otherwise my dad and I will just continue enjoying Tiger Woods PGA Tour 14, a game that supports proper offline play for 2-4 players, including offline career mode.
When this colossal oversight eventually gets rectified, they should also ensure there’s an option to even out stats so both players are equal. You should be able to make all created golfers share the same stats for even games.
Don’t think anyone is suggesting a boycott, however, we have no idea if or when this will be implemented and for those of us who do not want to play online, it’s a pretty big outlay for a game that is in practice useless to those of us in this category - when EA stated couch coop is a feature from day one, I suspect all of us assumed it would be the same as before. It simply isn’t and not fit for our purpose.
EA would have been better stating this will come with a future early patch - like the 60fps.
They may never solve this and view this feature as a low priority if online gaming is their primary focus. As I said we have no idea given we’ve had no confirmation either way from EA.
@cds1834I like how you and your father setup your matches. I was going to suggest you try and find a copy of 2K PGA 2019 or one of the original The Golf Club games. They play at a more relaxed pace, where it seems you are on a course on a Sunday morning.
But then I realized your still using a PS3. If you ever do get a PS4 or PS5 I would recommend one of the older games in The Golf Club series maybe 2K2019... it should be cheap to purchase so even if it isn't your cup of tea there isn't a large cost involved.
The games have a large set of options to disable making for a pretty configurable environment.
And if you or your father are struggling with the swing timing... you can always reduce the difficulty to suit or completely turn it off.
