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.

@EA_Illium Anything you'd care to add on this? You are the go to person here for EA, so it would be nice if someone from this company chimed in and either said it's coming or this is all we are getting.

Man, I totally agree. My friend bought this game for me as a birthday gift so that we could couch play together, since he doesn't have the newest Xbox.
I am just baffled that this isn't possible and I would hope that this is fixed with an update very soon.

@tmimp67 There goes that “communication & feedback” we were promised…

@vanKlNG Yup, and the one I tagged in my previous post never responded, even though I've seen him post recently in other threads.

They are most certainly avoiding commenting on this as they know they screwed up and aren't adding it.

Since the EA rep I tagged is not responding, let's try another that I just saw in these forums.
@EA_Mako Care to comment on this? And by comment, I don't mean ask a deflecting question. Just come out and say yes or no, the couch co-op that we all expected is or isn't coming.

Hi @tmimp67,

We've seen this feedback and passed it along, but beyond that I don't have any answers at this point, sorry.

As soon as that changes or we have any information regarding game updates to share, we'll absolutely be sure to do so.

You advertise “cross - platform” but don’t allow character importing?

false advertisement, poor CS, and absolutely zero help.

please give out a mass refund like EA gas done with other title launches.

Another patch, another non-acknowledgement from EA on the most commented on single issue on their own forums.
Well done EA, well done!
