@Ultrasonic_77 Fair enough but, as far as I can remember, no EA Sports title ever had a year assigned to it on its inaugural release. And, since they all have had years assigned starting with the sophomore release (including past PGA games), there's no logical reason to think this PGA will be any different.

My guess would be it may end up being annual too.
I'm very familiar with the F1 games btw. They're the reason I'm on this forum in the first place. If you want to draw a parallel we are currently a VERY long way off the point where they'd give up updating the current game plus I'm sure EA will be more keen to develop this current game if they do want to turn it into an annual franchise. I also don't think the notion of prioritising bug fixes based on severity and impact is remotely surprising or shocking. It's totally logical and what I'm sure we'd all want given that simply fixing everything immediately isn't realistic.
- @Ultrasonic_77 At face value, regarding the bugs, I would agree. Obviously, things need to be prioritized, and not everything can be touched. However, when I play modern Madden and see glitches and AI bugs that existed *20 years ago*, I think we can agree that we're talking about something a little more systemic. Also, full disclosure, I'm presently in full 'pissed off / scorned customer' mode. I won't waste your time with the minutiae but, suffice it to say, I was burned by F1 and FIFA in a big way last year, and I'm seeing the same crap with PGA, though maybe not *quite* as bad as those other games.
Ultimately, I want to see PGA developed to its potential. I love golf games, and TW12-14 are my all-time favorites. So I'm a little passionate about this. But, I'm sick and tired of the half-* efforts by EA lately, and I guess I'm airing it out while I still can because, if it's not tidied up by July, when my PlayPro sub runs out, I think I'm about done with all of it. Permanently.
There's only so much abuse I can take.

As I suspect you're aware the F1 games similarly have bugs that have existed across multiple releases, and for what it's worth predating EA taking over the franchise by buying the game developers (Codemasters).
We are though less than one month from PGA Tour being released so for now I'm going to remain more positive, as I do think the game devs have been pleasingly responsive to player feedback so far, and I'm sure are working on the issues of biggest concern in the game. I know my status here makes me seem partisan but I'm a player just like you and I only post about games I'm playing and so want to work too! If we don't give at least some credit when positive things happen then there's going to be less incentive for the team to do all they can to improve the game. Also, no game dev ever will want to put out a game full of bugs or with popular features missing, this happens as a result of limited staff resources and time.
@Ultrasonic_77Could you imagine God of War ragnarok being released in this state? It’s what gives EA such a bad name in the game development world.
Also, was the game not already delayed? There is no excuse to delay a game and then offer 75% of it for the full asking price in my opinion.
