@Ultrasonic_77 I hear what you're saying, but the difference here is, these EA games are iterative. There's no excuse for a 30 year old franchise like Madden or NHL to continue to have the issues it has, when there's been so much time to work out those problems, and soooo much money made. But we all know where both of those franchises stand right now.
Even PGA. The original PGA for Sega Genesis --over 30 years ago-- had features this game doesn't; namely instant replay. And as I've said before, EA had golf perfection with TW 12-14. Perfection. There's absolutely no (valid) reason why a game released now is missing 75% of the features from a game made just a decade ago, *by the same company!*
I mean, for me, it would be a matter of pride. If I was lead dev for PGA, I'd be disgusted with how this game shipped. If I was an EA exec, I'd be disgusted with how this game shipped. There's no reason for it. To coincide with the Masters? Why? It's completely arbitrary. Do they think if they delayed it 6 months and released a proper title, that no one would buy it because the Masters is long over? Nonsense.
Ultimately, EA charged $70 for a half-baked product that's put to shame by a 10-year-old game, and they *should* be ashamed. Furthermore, every angry customer is absolutely entitled to that anger. This nonsense has been going on for far too long.

There is a very good chance that the game devs were unhappy at being forced to release when they did.
That said, I've enjoyed playing the ballpark 100 hours I've put into the game so far so it's not that I can personally say it's been a disastrous launch either. At the other end of the scale, I'd be hugely frustrated if I was someone who had put a lot of time into career mode only to find that game crashing issues halted progress. This is the biggest issue with the game right now as far as I can tell by the way.
