fully dead
by October, this game will be full done, unfortunate.... good job -EA- at making something that "could've" been good, but you didn't follow through

Oh I totally agree with you. They did the minimum of what was promised before release and that's it. They did the same with EA Rory. There wasn't enough copies sold, they cut their losses and abandoned the game. They're probably ashamed of how few copies they sold, they don't even mentioned it on their Quarterly Report. Making a golf game only for current generation consoles and PC was a dud, another epic commercial failure not worth continuing.
But... they're making lots of money with their new College Football 25, this series will have a very long future.
Even if it was the best game of all time, the result would have been the same. If golf is not selling, it's not selling. No matter the fixes, it's a financial flop and I doubt we will ever see another golf game from EA. I believe we wouldn't have seen this golf game if 2K didn't sell so many copies of 2K21 during COVID.
Just a comparison, a developer said the last Dragon Age game sold 12 millions copies, EA is releasing a new one. This golf game probably sold less than 1 million copies just like EA Rory.
Once the game didn't sell, it was only a matter of time before EA stopped supporting this game. And with EA downsizing, the entire golf franchise is dead.
This might be the last EA golf game since it didn’t meet the sales expectation. The same happened to NBA Live 19 since it struggled to compete with NBA 2K19. I have a bad feeling that the next golf game would be PGA Tour 2K25 since the Lead Dev moved there. There is a better chance the NBA Live series would make a comeback than another EA PGA Tour iteration since 2K has angered a fan base for removing the Kobe Bryant collector level card in NBA 2K24.
I really enjoy playing this game, not perfect but what is.
Seems to be less and less players all the time. Sometimes cant get an online match (PC) even on the weekends.
I tried 2K23 and enjoyed PGA Tour more. I guess we have to hope 2K25 is a step forward for online golfing.
@PalomaMarvel24NBA Live is a great example. EA abandoned the franchise, it wasn't worth their time and effort to go in competition with 2K. Just as in golf, they're letting the basketball market to 2K.
This Arcade setup today with 15mph at Southern Hills is certainly not helping to keep this game alive. And the players for the weekly pro is going down fast week after week, this 12mph setup at Oak Hill is probably going to make it even worse.
