Private Match - Alternating shots in stroke play and other game modes

Product: EA SPORTS PGA TOUR
Platform:PC
Summarize your bug When playing online with others you cannot set the match to allow alternating shots like in the PGA 2K games. This captures the realistic nature of golf and should be fixed immediately.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play Private Match.
What happens when the bug occurs? There's no option for alternating shots. Each player plays at the same time instead of alternating like on a real golf course. You wouldn't ever have multiple golfers up on the tee-box.
What do you expect to see? Add an option to all game modes to set the game to alternating shots instead of each player shooting at the same time.

    Yes please add these options! It was the main reason I bought this game so I can play with my Father and friends. It is very frustrating not to be able to watch each others shots like if you were playing local multiplayer.

  • I have actual stopped playing this game, until it gets an online makeover, we are in 2023 Tiger Woods games had more online game modes and that was over 9 years ago

  • I want this too!

    I just got this game recently after a couple years with the 2K games. In 2K23 when you're setting up a private 1-1 match one can click on "turn order: on." What this does is make it so that you see your opponent hit his/her ball, then they watch you hit. Then the player who is "away" hits, etc. Without "turn order" on you are both playing simultaneously and you can't see the other person swing.

    Booo. I want to see my opponent hit! Please fix this, folks. It can't be that hard.

  • I dont mind it on "online" mode vs lobby of many players...speeds it up especially when your playing with randoms but for private matches it makes sense.

  • I cannot believe you cannot alternate shots. I was playing with a friend and we were both putting at the same time. I have no idea when he drives the ball as we suppose to do it at the same time I guess. Its so stupid. It's as if the designers have never played real golf before. Also spent 20 mins trying to troubleshoot visual issues which turned out to need to disable HDR and Dynamic Resolution Scaling.

    I use to love the old Tiger Woods games by EA Sports but this had none of that magic, this game sucks. 

    Decided to buy PGA 2K23 instead which has alternating shots which feels like actually golfing with friends.

    At the very least I always thought this should be an option. A button press that takes you to the player who has honors. Or at least an option to see that player from your current ball location, with a zoom feature.

    I do see the value of this in simultaneous play, especially for the 16-somes EA created. Which I personally am not a fan of.
