No one is playing this game
I don’t hold Steam to be the be all and end all of game usage, but it is a reliable source of truth. 115 people playing in steam right now. finding online players is getting much more difficult...

Yea unfortunately they lock everyone to 5 tracks for a month which has pretty much killed it. I just don’t get why they would do that. It’s like they sell us half a game then drip feed us like we are children.
We're going to EA Rory territory, got a feeling EA will cut their losses with lack of interest in golf games. Not enough money to be made here, probably why some of their top devs went to 2K to work on their golf game.

I don't think there is a lack of interest in golf games. I think there is a lack of interest in poorly designed and supported golf games.
I'm guessing EA PGA Tour made a pretty big splash on release, but the ripples have settled after people got a chance to get intimate with the product.
It is sort of like dating... you get blinded by the pretty face and promises. But after 7 months things haven't changed and you are feeling unfulfilled.
2K doesn't check all the boxes either... but the alternative is not to play any video golf.
I've been hoping for months that EA would realize they didn't cater to a large enough group of players. And that they would start correcting a multitude of poor decisions they made when designing the game.

This not only sums up EA PGA but might the the best comparison made to an EA game ever 😆. I laughed out loud reading this bit and can say it hits the nail on the head perfectly!
For a little trip down memory lane, I played not only my copy of TW 2014 but also my copies of… get ready for it… PGA Tour 96 and European PGA Tour (both on the SNES) and BOTH of those were not only EA Golf games, but still better gameplay wise than their latest offering and those two older games are almost 30 years old.
