I just saw that there is a new patch being dropped for tomorrow.https://www.ea.com/games/ea-sports-pga-tour/news/ea-sports-pga-tour-patch-notes-8-0?isLocalized=trueIt seems like there are some new specs being made available to make the game even easier. How about some changes for the other demographic to make the game more realistic?

But thanks EA for making my decision to stick with 2K an easy one 👍🏼I absolutely agree... that this is an absolutely weak effort. That releasing Halloween theme items is about as little an effort as could be made and something that feels catered to children. However... 2K did basically the same thing. It actually has my playing partners rather upset, and they are course designers.They are asking why did 2K drop some themed assets rather than fixing things within the game. Things that have been broken for years... For myself new equipment became a nonstarter once both franchises made these items cosmetic only; It turned a corner for me... from Sim to Arcade.Both games are flawed... but you are right 2K's currently offers a better experience.

Halloween themed gear... Fork off 🤣🤣🤣

This update is what I expected, no big changes to the game.

@evanfrankel33 One golf game our group plays, Perfect Golf (formally was Jack Nicklaus perfect Golf before it got sold) has an option to use Real Time Weather. We never used it, most people who played the game didn't either. PG does have an excellent lobby, in game chat, great real time mouse swing, gimmies that actually work, course designer and a ton of game modes. Game has been around for a few years now but apparently EA never looked at it to see what other games have.

EA had a real-time weather feature in the early 2010's Tiger Woods games, which was powered by The Weather Channel.

anyone see people in online play for pc? Cause i haven't seen anyone for the past day or two which is very strange cause it was thriving this past saturday.
Most everybody stooped playing?
My group actually offered to play this week, we played three rounds... and all I heard was how unrealistic the ball physics are, especially on the greens. The weird putting animation... and how the ball felt like putting on a shag carpet.
Everyone adapted and shot reasonable rounds... the game just did not feel right.
So back to 2K we go... not perfect but the better of the two options.
I just wish EA would show some interest in advancing this game to a better place. They talk a good game, but fail to live up to their legacy these days.
It is hard to believe whoever was in charge of developing this ever played a competent game of golf.
Oh... and I forgot how much it bugs me to see the ball lined up with the toe of my club when putting.

Due to this, I will be removing this thread from the top of the General Discussion boards, however, you can keep replying.

Thanks!
