@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.

Oh absolutely. 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.

Thats how most games are released nowadays. I really don't understand why people feel this is an EA thing. Also the game is not bug ridden. My only gripes are that there are no turnbased multiplayer game modes and no way to communicate with other players. And yes this is a huge disappointment but I'm crossing my fingers they add these things. I'm depressed over it. But regardless, this game even in it current state, has a more sporting feel and better play control then the 2k golf game, and is not p2w like wgt.

Honestly yes, and a 30s Google shows me that God of War was not bug-free at launch. I wish it weren't the case but sadly all modern games have issues at launch. As an older gamer I blame a combination of the possibility for post launch fixes via the internet and the pre-order concept for this, neither of which is likely to go away.

Complexity plays a massive part too now, 4K resolution, fps, ray tracing, massive detailed levels/courses, far too many games being churned out per studio. Something has to give.
We’re now living in a time where game updates on consoles are 20gb, ridiculous.
Remember when we thought the graphics on Tiger 10 were fantastic, I bet if we went back now they would look like utter rubbish. Unfortunately expectations for games have also grown way beyond the games themselves, meaning ultimately large portions of people will be disappointed. This is all before addressing the trend amongst modern gamers for absolute toxicity about anything and everything, just check the YouTube comments section of your average gaming video, it’s chocked to the brim with it.

You cannot be more right.
