Forum Discussion
Personally I just don't think there bothered about the community or there rep would have had bigger cahooners and stuck around in the discord, it almost seems like the two big golf game producers are working together and are just out purely for money, totally expected to want to make money, but to make the community pay for an under par (pardon the pun) game is outrageous,
If they realised that making the games good and listening to the main community gripes they would probably make more, yes they make games that attract many more players, but genuine sports games stick around for ever and attract all gamers at different stages in life, so as far as longevity goes they make money, so are worth getting right.
Like most are saying it is 2023 and most issues or gripes are basically standard things for these type of games, should be in from the start and not expected to be begged for, it ain't rocket science, implement the basics and let the game build its self and a good player base.
Could go on and on but falling on deaf ears........
I knew this game was doomed the moment EA HeySteveDave (community manager) felt some heat from the user base and unexpectedly quit the unofficial Discord and severed all communication with the community (which is weird, because I think that is kind of his job?) I think he knew that nothing tangible (and nothing ACTUALLY being requested by the community) was on the near future roadmap, so he got out of the kitchen before it got too hot. Can't blame him. If he was still around this week, the feedback from the small community that is left is absolutely brutal. No one is happy, and why should they be? We literally have a game with nothing but an offline career mode that gets rather old rather quickly (or, not quickly, since you can't choose to play less than four rounds in a tournament.)
It really is a shame, because this game actually had potential. And EA could deliver some requested multiplayer modes, crossplay, ranked, etc. down the line. But by then, there will be barely be anyone left to enjoy it.
It is REALLY hard to get people to pick up a sports game again months after they threw it in the bin.
You ALMOST had it EA....better luck next time! (although, I can say with 90% certainty that this is going to be the last EA golf game)
