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
Forum Discussion
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.
@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.
- @Katybee_1313 seems like you expect wimpy winds each and every tournament, doesn't work like that.
would you re-book a round of golf in real life that you booked (say weeks in advance) to only have the winds be higher than you planed for?
but I do agree, these winds are killing the game more and more and -EA- does. not. care.
you play what you get and learn from it.
@-Roasted513-, Well for Arcade, yeah. Traditionally, this was the mode for very low wind where players were having fun to hole out half the holes. Now it's just a mode with more aids. I play those high winds, don't have a great time but it sure is killing the field lately. Not long ago, we were close to a thousand playing the weekly pro. Last week, Tasha ended up 70th and didn't make the 20% cut, so we're down to less than 350 players.
As for real life, yeah I'm not playing that weather and not many either, the courses are almost empty. We have so many great summer weather days in Southern Ontario, we don't have to. If the weather is not nice, we don't want to be miserable on the course. Us women are going to the mall shopping, and men can go play in their garage or men cave, whatever. Lots of houses still have their swimming pool open around here. If anything, we don't have enough rain and I've spent so much time watering my garden. Of course, if the weather is crappy most of the times oversee, I can understand you can't be too picky.
Yeah, we're very fortunate to have such beautiful summer weather most of the times. We have a Country Club membership and there's no way we're going to golf in miserable weather. Even our Club Pro won't do it, he told us he would do so only for big money. Love our long summer, golf in the morning, bikini and pool the rest of the day. We just closed our pool last weekend, 3 of our 4 neighbors still have theirs open.
Definitely more users playing Arcade, dad finished 82nd and made the 15% winner cut last week.
All 4 dailies are 12 and 15mph wind, that's one sure way to kill participation. Hard pass.
For Arcade, I agree the wind are traditionally at low speeds. For sim and tour difficulties, higher winds make more sense. The nice Los Angeles weather would be just right for arcade; yet they call people who prefer the nice sunny LA feel for arcade as “Wimpy Winds”. I understand why they advocate for Buffalo NY weather at Arcade; it makes sure they top leaderboard.
