My wife and I created own characters and played locally againts each other in old EA Sports golf games.
The characters we created had their own look, clothing and skills and
these characters could improve their skills by performing tasks.
We could choose where to play and so on.
Is this kind of activity possible in EA Sports PGA Tour 2023?
I am still debating requesting a refund. The game is basically useless to me if my fiancé and I can’t play H2H with our characters. I can’t justify switching over to this game when they can’t even provide the most basic features expected from a game at launch.
That’s what I am going to do. I am incredibly disappointed by this. My fiancé and I probably play golf on Xbox 20 hours a week and wanted something new.
I would honestly be shocked if EA ever fixed this based on the current set up of the game.
Agreed if they don't turn local match on, I will never buy another golf game. Played local for years with the wife and kids. Don't wont to play online.
This even mentions buying points to activate local play
I can’t play with any of the real golfers in private match online against friends. When I join the game it automatically puts me as my created guy.
I and it appears the community would like to be able to play local multiplayer with character created golfers - up to 4 and assign specific controllers to local players.

I knew this would be an issue 2K (PGA 19,21 & 23) continued to struggle to implement this fully in a long time (it’s better but still not profile based) but given EA have nailed this will all previous incarnations - it’s hard to ascertain why they would do a poor / unfinished job at this basic feature.
I wonder who on the dev team is responsible for this? No excuse that you can't have 2 custom players in couch co-op. Do we need EA Redwood Shores from 2005 back because my LORD I did not expect a * up THIS bad. The only thing worse than this is offline offering only quick play and not Career, tournament, and challenges as promised.
I doubt they will be able to sort this quickly, they may be able to have multiple custom golfers per Xbox profile. But to have a local game sharing independent Xbox profile custom players - that seems a long way off and if it’s not been considered in the framework of the game - it’ll be months before it’s included - if ever.
They might surprise us - I’m not holding my breath on this one 🙂
How is this not in the game? I can see threads about this going back for month's.
Every title in the series has had this.
EA's response on this ( none) is pretty sad
