Tournament payouts

Something has to be done about tournament payouts and immediately.

We are playing a game that is a long long way from being close to finished and we get robbed blind because of issues that EA seem to refuse to deal with.

After 5 months, I am now at zero coins and zero tickets, worse than the day I installed the game. All efforts to accrue coins and tickets have failed. Single entry, balanced number of entries and lots of entries always end up with the same result. It's like a casino where the house always wins.

EA need to decide if they want people to play this game or not. Not all of us are interested in private matches or the like and tournament play is only possible if you can buy into them.

No coins ? No dailies. No tickets ? No weeklies or seasonals.

Is this how EA wants it to be ?

Sort it out and give us a chance to accrue these things, please.

  • I'm getting lots of both in career mode since they introduce propass. Tokens are easily accumulated there with daily and weekly quests, and I'm claiming coins and tickets as I play along.

    Pro-pass can be completed in two weeks and doesn't offer that much when all is said and done. I think you get 40 tickets in total if you complete both the unactivated and activated pro-pass things. I can't remember how many coins are available but it also dishes out a stack of XP which is only useful to those who have not attained level 50 yet. There is still about 4 or 5 weeks til the next pro-pass starts, if I remember correctly.

    The fact is that for those of us who concentrate on the tournaments, accrual is difficult. My good friend MIDNGHT_MRAUDR, who is a lot better than I am, also regularly runs out.

    When Tiger Woods Online was live, there would be about twelve or thirteen tournaments (18 holes) each day and a four round event once a week. This gave us plenty to get on with but it seems that EA don't really want us paying too much attention to tournaments on here or else payouts would be better, therefore enabling us to have multiple attempts and get our teeth into things and actually play the game that they spent a lot of money on creating.

    Without coins, you are limited with what you can do in the dailies and with the limited tickets you might win from those limited daily entries, you are limited to what coins you might win from the weeklies. The only way I can see you accruing this stuff is if you can nail a winners spot, first time every time and I know from seeing the PC leaderboards that no one person seems capable of doing that on here.

    Like I said, if EA want people to play the tournaments then they will have to make it worthwhile or people will stop and the tournament section of the game will become surplus to requirement.

    Never had an issue earning from tournaments. As you can see I'm not ranking high every time.

  • @BlackCat09522 It seems the best and most viable way to get gold and tickets is to be really good at the tournaments. I've been playing daily since launch and have purchased a lot of stuff in the shop and currently have 3,400 tickets and 1,400,000 gold and it's mostly from playing tournaments.

    Tell me how cos I've tried everything I can think of and it always ends up the same way.

    Might I ask what platform you are on ?

    I am making an assumption here that there are far more players on XBox and Playstation and, therefore, far more entrants. On PC, you can spend 100 tickets on the weekly sim, get a good score yet only gain a ranked position because only 6 people entered !! With this you can understand that 100 tickets spent is not worth the return for a ranked position.

    When it was all top 10% for the winners position, my coins and tickets were going up nicely but since they cut it down to top 5%, It's near impossible and all you can do is tread water.

    Did they cut percentages? I thought they did and some said not. And 100 tickets on weekly sim? Doesn't sound correct. Got a screenshot?

    100 tickets as in 5 attempts x 20 tickets per attempt.
