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'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.
Nope. As far as I can tell from the trial you won’t be able to use created players against each other offline. That essentially makes this game junk for me and my fiancé. That sucks because I’ve enjoyed it so far in the trial.
When I try to set up a local match I select my character and go to add a 2nd player and only the pre loaded tour players are available as an option. My fiancés created player is not loading into the list of options to choose from in a local match. This a basic feature of any game, surely this is a technical mistake…
I have the same issue with my fiancee unable to select two created golfers ☹️
i have created 2 golfers on xbox X, one for me and one for my wife, how do i select to play a round of golf, just the both of us? i cant find this anywhere, any help would be nice
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.
Apparently, this is not possible with the current release. You can only have one custom golfer and the other player can control a pro defined golfer.
Also both controllers can control any player, you cannot assign a controller per player.
it’s a joke. Thankfully I found this during trial.
