I can't understand why it isn't possible to implement a local offline multiplayer with your own golfer on a console when everything is already there for it. In the announcements you could read that this is possible.
Now you can see that it just doesn't work. Unfortunately, I've now spent the money and the game is basically useless to me.
I can create multiple golfers under my PSN account and switch between them. That is possible. I can select a game type and add another golfer in a quick game. This works out. But then I can't add another controller or add more from the list of created golfers. That is not possible. That is completely incomprehensible.
I played ea golf with my wife on the Playtation 2 for hundreds of hours in local multiplayer, you could even invite a guest with a profile in career mode. We used it extensively and loved it. Now with the Playstation 5 there are countless complex online modes, but a simple couch multiplayer with two controllers is not possible.
I was looking forward to a great time with the fantastic graphics for two. It's just wasted money now. Very frustrating.
I have just spent £50 on this game to play my mum, it’s something me and my parents used to do years ago on the older games.
I can’t believe you cannot play custom characters offline multiplayer. It’s the main reason I bought this game.
Also it game starts off with telling you how great it’s accessibility options it has before you’ve even played a round but my mum is arthritis in her hands so would prefer it on easier or to play 3 click but you can’t have one controller set to custom settings which you could in Rory Mcilroy when I’d prefer the swing stick.
Using 2 different controllers has a problem too where the game freezes and you can’t move your golfer or do anything unless you pause the game.
It’s an absolute disgrace the game was released in this state and also the fact I seen several reviews and can’t remember them mentioning it. Generally it was all positive and saying a step forward. I can’t get a refund from Sony as I downloaded the game.
I think the game looks quite good, the presentation is quite nice but I think the swing animation lags going to swing stance and is quite off-putting. Also it’s quite confusing sometimes the camera angle button changes depending on what your doing.
Playing the game on PlayStation 5 with latest patch.
