Patch Notes 4.0 Discussion
https://www.ea.com/games/ea-sports-pga-tour/news/ea-sports-pga-tour-patch-notes-4 Lets start with the obvious points - No online game modes - No 60 FPS - No 1 round career mode For a golf game...
Snore. Has anybody asked for a swing meter colour change? Like really…? had a quick scan through wish list thread and couldn’t see it. I would rather they did sweet FA than release a half arsed patch as a smoke screen to keep the player base clinging on.
A games longevity, especially a Golf game requires a solid multiplayer platform. I get a bigger thrill playing Tetris than I do playing divot derby on this.
Shambles EA!
Major disappointment...
For on-line play I was hoping for turn based play enabled, as well as the ability to fully control the playing environment for all players. Meaning that the host can control not only the GAMEPLAY settings, but those in VISUAL as well. Afterall don't we all want to know that all competitors are playing under the same conditions. I also don't want to be tied to presets decided on by the game developer as to what SIM settings should be.
The other major issue I thought would be addressed was the triple bogey cap on scoring. If one were to hit a ball into the water on a par 5 you are already losing effectively 2 strokes if you don't get yardage...
The hole physics really need another rework. It needed to be addressed but in some ways they went way to far in trying to correct it.
I also found a new bug in career mode reflecting scoring.... it looks like they did address a lot of bugs but most of them look pretty trivial. They really need to work on getting the gameplay right.
