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?

Yeh this is a deal breaker for me. Why I didn't get 2k version.Couch coop career is a must,.

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 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've just been using the trial, you can create up to four golfers within each xbox profile. However there does not seem to be any way of connecting more than one custom golfer per quick play game (stroke play) the other three players are pre-defined 'pro' players and your other custom golfers do not appear. If you switch profile (xbox) it starts a new instance of the game, which is fine if you want to play on your own or online.So unless I'm missing something - you cannot have local couch mode with individual custom profiles - which is a deal breaker for me, even 2K21 let you play locally with custom players, and what is more disappointing - previous PGA golf games allowed progression with all local custom golfers. I want to play with friends locally as them, not against pre-defined Pro golfers - sorry unless this is resolved I will not be buying this.Not sure if this is because it's a trial - but this does really surprise me that this basic feature is missing, plus the face customisation is incredibly limited, but I could have lived with that to be honest.What's worse is any of the controllers (signed in to different xbox profiles) can control any of the four players (the custom, and the three defined "pro" players) so anyone using a controller can control the player taking the shot - this cannot be right. I must be doing something wrong....or the couch co-op was thrown together and is completely unfinished - in it's current state, this game is suited mainly to online only.

That is a major bust from EA. I like the game so far to be honest, but this kills it. I regularly play with my fiancé and on the other game we could at least make a customized guest character for her to use against my player. On this game if you want to play with your character in an offline round, anyone you play with has to use a Tour Pro. On the TW games you could make multiple created players and use them H2H.

Anything on this EA, or are you going to continue to believe you gave us the couch co-op we all expected?

If they do not adress this, I will never ever believe anymore of this "we hear you and listen to your feedback" propaganda :D

@Blowfeld81 Yup, same here.

How hard is it to clarify this issue, especially since this is one of, if not the most replied to threads in this forum?

I think they are afraid to admit the way it work is all they planned on giving us.

@tmimp67 Plans can be changed. If they want to revive this IP, they have to give the fans what they want, else they will not bring the golf game back to EA.

It's like that in all their games so don't expect them to change it for PGA

@Willem7719 Problem with that is, it has been in all their past PGA games, so why did it change now?

Once again, how hard is it for SOMEONE at EA to clarify this issue?

Yea well it's EA so good luck with that money is already in their account and that's about it for EA.
But i know like for NFL they do it so you cannot grind stuff easily they want you too buy their loot boxes obviously.
But in PGA it does not make sense yea

Heads up for anyone who is interested. I don't know if this applies to the Xbox version as well, but I saw this on the Playstation store.
Up until 4/26, the Deluxe version of PGA Tour 2K23 is 60% off. While this game may not have the presentation of EA's game, at least we have the ability to play our own created golfers against each other.
EA has until the 25th to address couch co-op and then I'm getting that if they don't.

@tmimp67I’ll stick with 2K21 for now. Player customisation is much more limited in 23 (or it was when I tried it) and the shadows were that prominent that it was hard to see whose turn it was to play unless you purchased different outfits to make the distinction. Not sure if they’ve addressed this either.

As for this game, I doubt that this missing feature will be implemented anytime soon - if ever.
