Online - 4-player turn-based stroke play
This is a topic that I'm seeing more and more of on Reddit and Operation Sports forums. This is a fantastic game, areas need work though. But the major deal breaker for me and many others ...

@gzbw9hpoowpd do bear in mind that the game has literally just properly launched today after a few days early access. Being well informed is absolutely something we all want but this really is very early days for the game.
@Ultrasonic_77 Fair enough both of you and I do appreciate the response.
Lots of us have been waiting for the game since it was announced and in games, first impressions are very important (just look at what happened to Battlefield) which is why many of us are frustrate with the lack of online options.
Have a good weekend, both.

I've been really excited for this game as well and am definitely looking forward to the future. We'll just have to wait and see what that all entails. Your enthusiasm is absolutely appreciated. Feel free to keep letting us know what you'd like to see in future updates!
This implementation would also increase revenue for EA. There is always a balance between, time, investment and what works for corporate as well as the gamers, and getting everyone on the same page isn't always easy.
But turn-order play is somewhere where we all benefit greatly.
The reason for this is the fantastic items added to the shop. I'm more than impressed with how the game has recreated the actual clubs and gear from various golf brands, it has been done well in this game.
But! With no turn order, there is a huge lack of incentive for players to buy this gear. Players want to show off their new shiny pings! They want to customise their player to be different from others and wear their favourite golf gear that they wear on the real course.
In turn order, other players see their gear. This is a massive incentive for people to buy gear from the shop. Right now, the motivation for purchase will be significantly lower, and thus shop sales too.
That and implementing a competitive rank system like 2k (been a huge success) with divisions (like Fifa’s seasons ranks) will also massively increase replayability and keep people playing more, thus wanting to buy and change gear far more often.
Rome wasn't built in a day, all this will take time. But this is something we should all want, from the gamer to the bored room.
