What EA said through their communication, that we asked and really, really, really wanted was 60fps and the possibility to play career mode with only 1 round. They gave that to us, there's that. Unfortunately, it probably took a lot of resources and left all the game play issues on the backseat. I really hope we get some answers though, maybe ApexHound will get something for us.
Who knows, maybe there will be more communication on the 2K game now. Not only the guys at HB went silence radio saying they were just devs now, and it was not their job to communicate with users anymore. They even went so far as saying they were all moving to the 2K msg board for 2K21, having new users ID for all of them, just to never showed up a single time. 😃
Let's be clear... there were many here including myself that stated that 60 fps was not a big issue for a golf game.
As for playing career mode with one round again something I could care less about. I feel if you want to do something go all out and do the full monty. But I have nothing against those that want it.
But let's address core issues before these other ones. GAMEPLAY is the number one issue of any game.
As for APEXHOUND... I think that is where the problem lies... EA is listening to these content providers that are gamers and at most casual weekend golfers. And what do we have...? An casual arcade style video game.
I would personally rather not have APEXHOUND as my spokesperson. We already have an arcade game... I would rather have someone that can represent the needs of the person looking for something more.
Dunno, when I look at threads on their X (twitter) account, comments about game play are rare. Just about all of them are complaining about online mode issues, they want lobby and more modes like alternate, best ball, skins, turn base stroke, and specially crossplay.

I don't follow their Twitter account... I think spending time here is more than enough.
I'm not saying that those other items are not issues as well. But in my opinion it is not the core problem with this game. What you are highlighting should truly be a small subset of the game. The Golf Club didn't seem to have an issue getting it right, and they were a small development group at the time. Why has it been such an issue for a juggernaut like EA with seemingly endless resources?

I think the most likely reason for the lack of communication is economics. The revenue, investment and resources are more in games such as EA FC 24 (aka FIFA), UFC 5 and NHL 24. The response time for fixes in these games are much faster because of extra manpower and resources. Latest example is the quick fixes on NHL 24 after multiple complaints on bugs.
During launch of EA PGA Tour, there were more resources and more communication. After Update 3.0, not many fixes were made on gameplay because the resources were focused on EA Formula 1 and the EA Star Wars Game. By August and now, all attention are on Madden, EA FC 24, NHL 24 and UFC 5.

If another Tiger Woods shows up, there will be more demand, more revenue and more resources for a golf game. The last time this happened was in TW14. That game was advanced for its time and is my favorite golf game. This was a time when golf was considered cool. If this happens again, there would be more communication.
