money making
you (EA) seriously need to add some kind of money makers in the game outside of the daily/weekly/seasonal tournaments, I, personally, am sick and tired of doing these. the cost to enter isn't worth...

The point however is that winning is not a right of passage. If you are NOT competitive in some tournaments save your money for those where you are.
EA could do a lot of things to improve this game. This complaint in my opinion isn't one of them.
So, the fact that many PC players cannot accrue coins or tickets is not a problem ?
And there was me thinking EA wanted people to play this game.

Did I say not being able to accure coins or tickets wasn't an issue?
I think I implied feeling entitled to be rewarded for just participating in an event is the problem. Not everyone gets to win... it's unfortunate but it is how life is.
But if you feel people should be rewarded for just participating... why would you be required to submit an entry fee?
If that is what we are asking for... just pay us for completing a round of golf. Actually maybe that will encourage people not to quit mid round during online play.
Hmm... now that is an idea... prior to allowing someone to play online matches you need to have $1000 VC in your account, if you don't finish it is deducted from your account.

I am currently S ranked 1 for tournaments on PC (last I saw) and S ranked 2 overall. I am a decent player and know how to play the game. I also know other top PC players who cannot accrue coins or tickets and it makes tournament play a bind when you are having to restrict what you do because you don't have enough currency.
I am a tournament player first and foremost, always have been and I just want to play golf. The current structure strangles both of those things and I personally feel that the way things are, I am prevented from just getting on and playing.
If that is how EA want it, they should say so and watch as the PC side of the game dies its inevitable death.
@BlackCat09522 I never said you couldn't play the game. The game is ridiculously easy, and it appears the next patch is going to make things even easier.
The game is already dying and has been for months, mostly because of it's gameplay, bugs, lack of content... and a myriad of other reasons.
The community here has been pretty vocal about what we believe the issues are, but those in charge know better and user base continues to diminish.
I don't think the PC demographic was ever going to be the major player for this franchise. I don't have numbers but intuitively I would guess Sports Games are dominated by console sales.
If this franchise is going to thrive they need to take stock and get this game back on the rails. It appears pretty obvious that while there might be a market for an arcade golf game, the demographic is not large enough to support it alone.
