Match Play Completely Broken
Product: EA SPORTS PGA TOUR
Platform:PlayStation 5
Summarize your bug There are numerous bugs with 'Quick Play' match play. These include incorrect scoring, incorrect commentary, incorrect order of play, long delays in play. CPU opponent often plays next shot from different location to where they landed. Scoring is a fundamental part of golf. Without accurate scoring there is no point playing the game.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play a 'Quick Play' match play game.
What happens when the bug occurs? The scoring is incorrect. The commentary doesn't match the scoring. CPU opponent takes over 15 minutes to address the ball making every round painfully slow. CPU opponent often plays from a different location to where their previous shot landed.
What do you expect to see? These simple and fundamental bugs fixed.
The 'Quick Play' match-play feature is completely broken and pointless playing.
- The match play scoring is inaccurate eg.. your CPU opponent can win a hole but your player goes 1-up on the scoring.
- If any player scores a birdie, the commentator will often say "the player leaves the green with a disappointing bogie", or announces the wrong score.
- Your CPU opponent takes over 15 seconds to address the ball at every tee-shot, which makes the round painfully slow.
- Very often you opponent will land in a bunker, but their next shot will be from the fairway.
- I landed in a pot-bunker in a recent round but on my next shot I was in a completely different shaped bunker.
- On approach shots the marker shows (for example) that you ball stopped 12ft from the hole. When you go to putt it shows a 24ft distance to cup.
- Sometimes around the green the turn-order is wrong.
- Sometimes the putting-grid where you put from isn't the same as where you chip/approach shot stopped.
These are really basic and fundamental issues that completely spoil what is potentially a great game. Was it tested pre-release?
