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.

@BishopfrmJuice7 same cant use 2 or more created characters for offline local play and the controllers for 2 or more players not always used sometimes it works fine with multiple controllers but alot of the times the dont work
you have to use player 1 controller which is annoying
another issue for me is every time i switch the ps5 off some settings don't save
i dont play online at all and never will i play locally with my friends/family only so i hope they fix these issues

It should be all the quick play modes. And like previous versions it should be two - four local players with their own profiles or at least the four custom players in each profile and their progression is maintained.

There is no point in the primary profile custom player being the only one that can progress as they play.

I stop by my parents place every evening for an hour or so and play 18 holes of Tiger Woods PGA 14 on the PS3 with my dad. Been doing this for years now. We play "offline" with our own custom characters. (We always play offline and never use the PGA Tour golfers that came with the game.) One display, one PS3, two controllers. We start a practice round, select a course, select a game type, select our custom players, check our controller assignments on the controllers themselves updating the controller assignment for our custom players in-game to match (by hitting the triangle button) and away we go. No announcers, no fans, no player reaction after each shot, all that garbage is turned off. It's pure bliss. I was going to purchase a PS5 for my dad along with PGA Tour 2023, but if we can't continue the tradition I've described here there's absolutely no point. We'll just continue playing Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2014.

@cds1834 I think that it's necessary to tell EA that it's a wish but they will add this for sure, you don't need to boycott the game for this. The early acces is today, there is no game that launch without some adjustment to do.

You can't play with two custom players at the same time!!? What kind of bovine ordure is that!? This is insane. I'm definitely getting a refund for this game. What a absolute joke. I can't even get my Sony PS5 account to link with my EA account because it was already linked to my PS4.
The amount of crap we put up with from EA is sickening. I want to burn their building down.

That's all well and good. In my case however, I don't own a PS5 yet. I'd be purchasing both a PS5 and a copy of the game for my dad. So yes, for now I won't be purchasing the game. If/when PGA Tour 2023 provides the experience I described I'll make the investment, otherwise my dad and I will just continue enjoying Tiger Woods PGA Tour 14, a game that supports proper offline play for 2-4 players, including offline career mode.
