Product: EA SPORTS PGA TOURPlatform:PlayStation 5Summarize your bug Impossible to play with crowds regardless of the settings.How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Just play a quick game at St AndrewsWhat happens when the bug occurs? No crowds or grandstands even when switched on in settings.What do you expect to see? Fix itIt’s impossible to enable crowds and grandstands for St Andrews even when switched on in the settings menus.

I think it’s glaringly obvious now that whatever they released yesterday was what was intended for the release date. EA just didn’t have time but had to release it because of the masters tournament timing. They’ve barely fixed anything. I think the most requested game feature that everyone has been asking for (turn base) didn’t even get mentioned for future updates.What’s needed is another patch, to fix the last patch that was supposed to address issues in the first patch. Money well spent!

@ArcadiusG1 What is happening to the crowd when you attempt to play currently? Would it be possible to get a video of the issue?

Is there a crowd at St Andrews? I turn crowd option on/off/on, no crowd. Thanks.

Hello Team.!! Whatever the settings, the quick game crowd at St Andrews hasn't been working for me since April until now, (not in career it works there).! All other courses are working fine ! I thought with today's update of the Open you would have fixed it.I am reportingplease FIX this in upcoming updates in the coming months.! thanks in advance

thank you @EA_Illium ,What is happening is the crowd doesnt work , apers etc in QUICK PLAY MODE.!!!! it's a problem that spoils the immersion of the game and it's on the only course that doesn't work, and it's a classic course . I am sending you this link in fast forward because the system did not let me upload to its normal size.

When I was playing 18 holes on St Andrews recently, I had no crowd anywhere throughout the 18 holes even though I had crowd set to on.
