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

sad that most of the people that play this game now are on game-pass, most of paid versions are done (like me now) thanks -EA- for the failure that you set up and didn't take time to fix. this game could've been a top 10 sports game of all time, but nope, you -EA- can't take feedback let alone fix minor issues....
til the next ea golf game.....
TTFN!
- @-Roasted513- Same ole story, as yet, we will see your name on a tourn. leaderboard before the weekend ends.
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.
@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.
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.
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.
