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 in 2023 this stuff should have been in at Launch!

Additional things I’m frustrated over

- How are the issues with the Putting lip outs not mentioned in the patch notes even once? There are so many videos around over this issue

- The swing is still so laggy. I’m not sure if 60fps will help but there are definitely tempo issues (I’m not talking about how slow/fast the mechanic is itself, it’s how slow/laggy it seems to be in general)

  • I got the 4.0 update on Tuesday and another update yesterday. What was yesterday’s small update?

    This is why when a company releases a game they should never be changing the default settings of any difficulty 

    if you want to make it a more challenging? Make a new difficulty

  • -Isn't the classic swing meter supposed to have notches and the blue trail? I only see the notches, but not the trail. Makes it hard to know where your club is on the backswing. 

    -Does anyone else's game completely freeze up when you try to check on your quests? A pinned quest cannot be unpinned for me either.

    -Someone else pointed out that when you use the notchless swing, you need to pretty max out your takeaway to hit it the intended distance. I was wondering about that. 

    -Not a fan of having to pitch the ball when you are inside 70 yards, but not particularly near the green. You should be able to do an approach shot, just less powerfully. Pitches should be 30 yards and in. 

  • I find the swing is great, much better than 2k23, but I am sure 60fps will enhance what is a good swing tempo

    I play without the swing meter, am I the only person to find it counter intuitive to disable the new swing meter from the VISUAL settings?

    That if the swing meter is disabled in the GAME settings it should just be turned off?

    My problem with 2K is the ridiculous swing speed on the backswing of the golf animation.

    It would be better if they slowed it down like EA's animation so that you could execute partial swings. Or at least gave you multiple animations to choose from.

  • the notch can be put back. Go to your settings to change the swing arc thing back to classic

  • I quite enjoy it. Yes it’s EA but I am having fun with the game. I want replay, 60fps, and more swing animations, and more penalty for playing out of the rough, but this is a great game for the most part. To reach his own.
