PGA Tour PS5 - Local multiplayer controllers randomly change

Product: EA SPORTS PGA TOUR
Platform:PlayStation 5
Summarize your bug When playing a local multiplayer stroke game with 2 controllers and using 2 tour pros, the controllers switched which player was controlling which player randomly on the 4th hole of Augusta. Continued to play as the other player and then it reverted back to the proper controller after the following shots. Closed the game and began another multiplayer stroke with same golfers (speith and dj) had the same issue only the controllers switched players after the 1st hole
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Quick play Stroke Augusta - all 18 Select spieth Added dj Play round
What happens when the bug occurs? On the tee on hole 4 -my controller was operating dj while I started the round with spieth. My buddy’s controller was operating spieth when it should be dj. So it switched Reset game - same settings - switched controlling players while on the green on hole 1. In the middle of the hole. Putted out as the opposite players and on the tee at hole 2 it reverted back.
What do you expect to see? I would like to play the whole round with my controller. Or at least have a controller option to switch it back There are no player 1 - controller 1, player 2 - controller 2 options

Local (couch) multiplayer switches which controller is player 1’s tour pro to player 2’s tour pro - so the controllers flip players at random

1st time stroke play at Augusta 4th hole tee

2nd time stroke play at Augusta 1st hole on green

  • Absolutely correct, for a $70 product this is absurd. That there have been so many patches put out, and NEW FEATURES put in without fixing this very basic thing shows that EA does not truly care about putting out a polished properly functioning product. Honestly that this is STILL unpatched really leaves me wondering whether I should purchase EA products in the future.

    Yeah how dog * is it. EA is one of the most gutless companies on the planet, pay all this money to play this game with mates, basically cant, i play right stick and he plays left but you cant have each player play on different swing stick settings. How can this be over looked? Standard with this * poor excuse for a company that we wont even get a reply.

    @EA_Illium Would it make a difference I experience this on PS5 wireless but if wired controllers are needed to lock players to specific controllers I would be interested
    Thanks

    @TotalBearFeet Well, I'ts great that there is a kind of fix so thank you for that.

    To fix the bug all you need to do is with the non working controller tap the menu button and then resume and it should work 

  • On a two Player Game, Player 1 can Controller Player 2 ? Can i decative That?
