@Mark_Miwurdz, I believe you. I remember at the start, already there was some weird leak going from one tournament to another. Like the leader at -10 for a 4 holes random tournament.
I believe there's no more update and support for this game. A lot of Live Service games are abandoned if they don't make enough money, and it looks like this is one of them. Golf is just not popular enough to have this game only on current generation consoles and a few sales on PC.
- @Katybee_1313 I believe PalomaMarvel24 said patch 3 ruined this game. I did not buy the game till it was half price so i couldn't say for Shure but if they would have removed or toned down RNG they might have stopped the hemorrhaging. IMHO
The Lead Designer working with EA since TW12 left May 2023, a month after the game was released. He probably saw the writing on the wall this game had a very short future due to initial poor game sales. Maybe he gave us Patch 3 and left... to go work as Lead Designer for 2K on their golf game.
looks like patch 12 was the final patch
- @SpurS1964 unfortunate.. this game had so much potential but -EA- rarely kept up with anything, no communication, no nothing
They could have made the best PGA Tour golf game of all time, with a hundred courses, playing perfectly and the result would be the same. If there are not enough customers interested to buy a golf game at full price, or even with a discount 2 months after released, it will be abandoned to cut their loss. Pro Pass is not the answer to make more revenue. There are no Ultimate Teams in golf to make money. Only way is expansion packs, and it would mess up all online and tournaments for those not buying those packs.
Problem with this live service game is it can't be monetized to no end so for EA, it isn't worth making anymore.
Agree Michelle, this golf game was barely mentioned in a one liner as being done last year in the last Quarterly Report. The only way for EA to make money would be to make a new game like 2K is doing, but there was nowhere in their report a new game was coming.
