How hard is it for you guys to get a GOLF GAME RIGHT? When have you ever seen more then 4 players in a group of golf?Where in the game of golf does everyone stand on a tee at once and all hit off the same time?Answer NOWHERE ANYWHERE ANYTIME!Ditch the stupid 2-16 players and let 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 players play a proper stroke game like EVERY OTHER GOLF GAME EVERY CREATED . This was supposed to be done on the first update post game release.CLEARLY CALENDARS AND DATES ARE ABOVE YOUR PAY GRADE EA SPORTS!!!!

@yusd25 wrote:@Beerrun4u Again mate you're in your own world. I'm sure I've been playing online golf games longer then you've been past your teenage years, If you had a clue you'd realise it's about the private matches but the stupid format runs across all forms of stroke rounds and leaderboards really?Mate if that's what you think matters then there's no helping you understand what "playing a game" is all about. Online anyone can play how they want but maybe you've never had a real game of golf before to understand the SOCIAL aspect of a great game. The only thing worth that kind of competitiveness is skins which you can't play against anyone but the preselected pro avatars. Real skins even in online we've been playing for 12-14 years and we play for real money between ourselves but hey you go get your glory from a leaderboard that gets you nothing worth some ingame items anyone can buy in the store. Maybe you're on a console, you could use some consoling if think those leaderboards give you some kind of status. 🤣He’s not in his own little world. The current simultaneous stroke play is a great format to go head to head with many people at once, and we definitely should not be getting rid of it.That said, I’m all for 4 person turn based foursomes. However, I’ll only play that with people I know, not randos. When I’m playing with people I don’t know, I don’t want to wait around and watch every stroke. P.S. There was no real need to say he doesn’t have a clue or swing some ageist epeen.

@yusd25 Yeah it's sad when features that have been in golf games for 20+ years (including EA's past golf titles) are somehow too hard to figure out how to do in 2023.Most people want Turn Based 2-4 player but EA can't or won't do it.

@Beerrun4u Absolutely 100% disagree with you beerrun, my entire network/group of online golfers don't care 1 bit about whatever your h2h is..we all want to play a game of golf in OUR GROUP, the way its meant to be played in every single OTHER GOLF GAME that's ever been created and including those from EA until now. the lack of this format is why the game popularity is no longer just dying , its dead, nearly everyone I know who owns refuses to play because we can't play together.This is not some online fame grab game and never will be. so I am sorry but your rationale make absolutely 0 sense or logic. People buy the game to play against people TOGETHER not in the no turn order rubbish, you want to play solo, go play the tournaments or quickplay. What are the points you talk about worth? 0 they mean nothing , its a social game, you are not getting a career playing this game mate sorry to tell you.

@yusd25 If you're going to the Online lobby for your little buddy matches, you're in the wrong section - Online is meant to be competitive, which is why there's a leaderboard and the point system is geared towards large lobbies. If you want your friendly foursomes, stick to the Private Match section and do what you want.

To be honest I have no idea what @yusd25 is talking about, and I'm as old as dirt.But I will say EA has not provided a good environment to enjoy matches with a group of friends. Not only have they not allowed you to create a custom environment, but you are limited in what formats are even available to play.It would be nice to be able to choose the settings for your room, as well as limit the skill points for the players.

My first game was block tennis on Commodore 64 the ghostbusters on Amstrad, then Sega changed the world as we knew it but originally it was a handheld yellow Galaga game in the early 80's shooting 5 rows of alien ships in b&w.
My first console game was Magnavox Pong game. Around the same time I was playing a Mattel Handheld Football game with 3 levels of LED's. It is amazing how much fun it was considering how little was being provided to the user.
Expectations were so little back then.
I also had pong as my first gaming system. Followed by colecovisiion and an early Atari computer that was mostly used for games and some light word processing. Neighbors had the C64. Not sure why my parents chose the Atari over that….

lol.... it is funny you mentioned that game m. I bought a Miyoo Mini Plus a few months back to do some retro gaming on a handheld. And along with the normal console games up to a PSX. I did load in several PC series including Leisure Suit Larry, Roger Wilco... and Monkey Island just to name a few.
Wow, there was a Monkey Island game in there, no idea what it is. Dad told us they were still making those Leisure Suit Larry games, he had 2 of them on his PS4. Anyway, I feel like a kid here, I never heard of most of those old consoles. If it's anything like what I saw in his old Leisure Suit Larry games, the graphics were really bad. I can't imagine a golf game looking like that.

I might be just a smidge older than you... I had my own money back then.
My first console was an Atari 2600 when Space Invaders was king, followed by Mattel Intellivison and then the Coleco. After that a cross between Nintendo and Sega devices. But that was another lifetime ago... and my memory is a bit foggy. Good times tough.
My first computer was what we referred to as a trash 80, a computer made by Radio Shack. Followed by a Mac Plus (big mistake)... after which I built my own PC's moving forward.
Fond memories for sure!

Do a Google search for Atari 2600 and Mattel Intellivison Golf games. To see how far things have come... but even these games had some resemblance of golf as they brought your imagination into play.

@7AnimalMother never said or meant I want it gone, it's just apparent that's it is the thing that doesn't allow for another form of traditional stroke play. Until Ryder cup. If it's there then why can't it be full time. Btw I and a few friends have tried to get an online stroke in the tour , Sim and pro 2to 16 games dozens of times, only my a friend in Cali has had 1 successful match up with 2 only so 3 players, but only matches we get are each other maybe it's the Australian time difference but 30 of us that I know of all are in that time zone

So you want them to remove the only fun part of Online Play? get a grip of yourself. Set your own 'foursome' up if you want that. To me the only reason i play online is to blast the ball around with 16 other players but for your luck EA seemed to have listened!, no more big groups in online play and the timer ticks down as soon as theres more then 2 players. * take it really is!.

I don't play online but if that is how the timer works it is unfortunate. Instead they should have allowed people to click on a join button for groups or 4 or 8 players. IF enough people make up a group it should start a timer for those players.
Meaning if there a 6 players of 7 available that clicked 4 players the timer would start... and the 7th player could change their selection or wait for the next round of players to populate a room to try again.
It seems silly to me to start a timer once you have the minimum amount of required players to start a game. IF I understand you correctly.
I fully understand why there is no turn based golf because the can have 16 players actively playing. What I don't understand is why they needed to have 16 people playing at the same time?
I would rather they put people out in groups of 4, with a leaderboard showing all the players, WITH maybe highlight cut scene when someone did something special. AND with turn based play within your group.
EA really should have created a focus group to help them flesh out things before they created this game.
