I'm not worried about the server, the one for EA Rory made in 2015 is shutting down next week after 10 years. Tiger Woods 14 shutdown late 2023 after 10 years too.
What stopped working after 2 - 3 years or so in both games, it's the tournaments. For some reason, they were working again for a while in EA Rory before stopping again.
From what I read elsewhere, it looks like 2K is shutting down servers of 2K21 and those of the old The Golf Club too this year. I think all courses are on the servers, at least all the created courses from users.
Si les serveurs sont vides depuis 6 mois à 1 an, même si le jeu n'est vieux que de 2 ou 3 années, je trouve cela cohérant et logique car les joueurs ayants désertés le jeu ne vont pas revenir comme par magie.
Mais si un jeu a encore pas mal de gens toujours connectés. Une ossature de fidèles et que tous les serveurs ferment en même temps, je trouverai cela HONTEUX! Même au bout de 10 ans. Faut pas faire ça aux personnes qui aiment un jeu. C'est un profond manque de respect.

If the servers have been empty for 6 months to 1 year, even if a game is only 2 or 3 years old, I find it coherent and logical because the players who have deserted the game will not come back as if by magic.
But if a game still has a lot of people still connected. A framework of loyal players and all the servers close at the same time, I will find it SHAMEFUL! Even after 10 years. You should not do this to people who love a game. It is a profound lack of respect.
Les serveurs ne fonctionnent pas éternellement, et ils ont besoin d'entretiens. Ça craquait de partout pour Tiger Woods 14.
At the end of the day, servers have a lifetime, need regular maintenance and they won't replace one for a few players after 10 years. We had to find ways around the terms of services loophole in TW14 to play it online, and many just gave up. PC users are complaining for all kind of issues as it is, and Microsoft keeps making updates. It's not going to get any better.
In my opinion, I'm not talking about that. I'm saying that it's not normal, in terms of the game, that servers are online for career mode, challenges and others. I don't care if I'm the first or last in the world to succeed in a challenge or to progress in my career. It's not normal that for offline modes, an internet connection is required. Generally, it's enough to modify one or two files illegally for a game to be playable offline again. Dishonest on their part, not on mine.
