Patch 7.0 update discussion

Okay so it took me about 60 seconds to download and install the patch on my PS5.

It's been over a month since I last played. I booted up the game using my stock character (no skill points or specs). Fired up the new course and shot a bogey free -7. All this while relearning how much a putt breaks and how much slope affects distance.

So my assessment is that the gameplay itself is the same as it has always been. But I did not see any roll overs... but then I only played 18 holes.

The Private match settings are cumbersome... you might have to scroll up through 32 selections to find what you want. Not sure why this was not designed with submenus, or a single page with dropdown menus to select the options you want.

I appreciate the additional playing formats but due to the poor gameplay and level of difficulty I doubt I can get my friends to even test the new formats.

Even if EA would give us the option to remove the aiming reticule and speed up the greens significantly it would make the game much better for a segment of the player base.

So for myself, I appreciate the work done but it didn't do much to enhance the game for me. I guess I'll keep playing that other golf game for now.

  • EA really dropped the ball literally this patch. The devs are clearly NOT golfers. Yes having your opponent's ball being shown on the green can be a distraction but knowing where your opponent is on the course is critical in match play. You have ball markers for a reason and use them in career mode whenever there is more than one player. Use them in all formats. Devs should spend more time fixing critical game flaws like not being given relief from grandstands and other temporary obstructions, choice of ball placement in the Teeing ground and adding gimmies and a concede hole option in match play instead of making pointless cosmetic changes.

    Hopefully, at some point EA releases more tour courses. I don't play PB or Sawgrass twice, don't want to play thensame course with a different tournament name. If we could play PB as a major, then I would play it twice. 

    We need more tour courses and be able to play the the courses already available in the majors. 

    Thank you for the feedback on the next update.
