Re: Feedback - Using 2 created golfers when playing with someone else

Product: EA SPORTS PGA TOUR
Platform:PlayStation 5
Summarize your bug Not able to select my player when at my friend's house to compete against each other. I thought this would be a basic feature? I have the game and so does my mate. So if I go to his house and log in on his PS5 I can select my account but my player isn't there to select! My saved game data is synced and it's definitely there. I can select my account when using the 2nd controller but my player isn't there to select.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Get a PS5 have two players that have a character created log in on the same PS5. Start the game with one profile and go to set up a local game. Let player 1 select their character, now player 2 presses PS button and selects their account. It then goes back to the game, go to select player. But where is my player?
What happens when the bug occurs? Can't select my character
What do you expect to see? I expect to see my character on my profile for this game so that I can play a local game with my character at my mates. Why do all game companies now think that everyone only wants to play online?

I know it sounds like such a rant, I can confirm that I really do love this game, this is why I find it so frustrating that I can't do this simple task.

    Hello EA,

    I can't belive that I raised this way back at the start and there has still be no response from your support/dev team. Why am I not able to use my character when I'm at my friend's house? I really don't see what the issue is with being able to do this? Where is the feature? How was it not there from day 1? I'm happy to help provide what you need from me to be able to work together and get this implemented, it's a lovely game but without this feature whats the point in me building my character if I can't then go to my mates and play against him. I have played him online, in my opinion its a shocking experience, I'm old skool we like to play in the same room, let's get this done and make this game awesome 👌

    Hey @TotalBearFeet Can you try to manage your cloud save data with your PSN Account from your primary console, once uploaded try to manually download and check if you player is available on the secondary console.

    Cheers!


    Hi EA_Illium,

    Yes I can confirm my game data is synced to the cloud and has been downloaded on 2nd console. If I play career mode on my log in I see my character,  but when doing local game I select my profile for 2nd controller but my character isn't there. Its also worth mentioning that if my mate creates a 2nd character the 2nd character is also not able to be selected by a player. So it seems that only one person can use a career character in a local game, this really does suck. Happy to assist further as me and my mate want this to work so that we don't have to be pro default players. Thanks

    Hi @TotalBearFeet Thanks for the additional updates. Apologies for the confusion I thought this was with you playing on your log-in with a secondary device. 

    To confirm 2 players cannot use their created golfers at once for more information check out our feedback thread on this: Feedback - Using 2 created golfers when playing with someone else

    @EA_lllium

    Yes I know 2 players cannot use their created golfers at once, that's why I'm raising it as a but, if you could then I wouldn't be bothering, and that feedback,

     Link, if you check that I have been commenting on it with everyone else this is annoyed this feature isn't working. What I would like to understand is when this will be fixed? This was possible in tiger and Rory so why not in your new platform? How long is this going to take to resolve? I spend all this time building my character to Taylor it to my personal spec to play a mate locally, but I can't so I have to use a pre configured player. This is nuts to say the least. Do you know why at this moment in time this doesn't work? Please update me with info on when you hope to have this resolved. As I keep saying happy to assist in getting this fixed, coz if this was working this game would be the nuts, thanks.

    @EA_Mai @EA_Illium so you know about the extensive requests for this issue to be resolved, I really don't get why there is such lack of communication with us customers that have purchased this game where a standard feature is missing, we need words supports to resolve this issue not just saying no it doesn't work or check this chat out. I have read them all and all I see are hundreds of customers screaming out for the ability to play with their created charactor locally. Please support this case and help us drive it to development. 

    Thanks
