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 ...

I'm part of a group of 10 guys who have been playing online golf every Friday night for over 12 years. Only a couple of us have purchased EA PGA golf as without a turnbased multiplayer it just isn't much fun. I hope EA is seriously considering adding this feature. It's been in every computer golf game we've played for almost 25 years, how EA missed that it's a core reason most of us play online golf games is baffling.

Having played golf games for quite a while(Golden Bear Challenge anyone?), I think those making golf games now don't really understand some of what made golf games fun. As I generally don't play online, this was my biggest issue with the Golf Club(now PGA 2K..) just even offline. I just want to play a round of golf and not feel like I'm playing alone. If a friend wasn't
around to play, I'd pick their created player they created when they were over and play against them. I would ask HB Studios every year if they added AI players. "No but we have even better....you can see these cool ball trails 🥳". It looks like with this game you can't do that either, but at least you can pick a pro to play against. Be nice if you play against a friends created player and it just applies AI to it.
It sounds like that's what they do online with EA PGA Tour 2023? I think I saw a video where all these ball trails are flying around everywhere where it looked like you were in the middle of a laser light show lol. What is so hard about understanding people want to play a game of golf like they would in real life? You take a shot and watch the person you're playing with(real or AI) take their shot. What happened in the last few years where all of a sudden ball trails are in vogue???
More befuddling is they have a store where they keep adding new clothes etc etc, but you are never seen in them? I would think that's what a lot would enjoy, especially online where you can show off the cool shirt, or new putter or whatever you just bought from the store.
