This is exactly my concern. While the core gameplay may be better than 2K (which is debatable), the lack of modes and features will drive people away and, as the numbers of engagement drop, so too will the eagerness of the suits at EA to pull the plug on support.
I forget if I said it here or on Reddit, but I've said that the way they released this game is working against them. Congratulations, you rushed to market in time for The Masters. Meanwhile, I now know two people who were waiting on buying a golf game until EA's game released, played it, were very disappointed, and went on to purchase 2K. And the only reason I haven't yet is because I still have 2 months left on my PlayPro sub. And all for the same reasons being rehashed over and over here and on Reddit. No multiplayer modes, no turn-based online play, useless rough and bunkers, the triple-bogey pickup, a worthless storefront, etc...
And EA's silence is deafening. I'd like to think that the dev team is still working, that more content is coming, and that they would like to refine the game into something worthy of its presentation, but I know how EA operates. I've been watching them for years and years. For them to spend the time and resources to rescue a game like PGA, a game that I would all but guarantee is the lowest grossing title in the EA Sports family, especially if the user base has already started to turn their backs on it, well, it would be a true change of form, and one I would consider *highly* unlikely. Though, I would LOVE to be proven wrong. That's some crow I would happily eat.
Maybe the real question is, where is the threshold at which they give up on the game altogether (aside, perhaps, from its continued monetization), and have they already reached it?
Really really great post!
i think you’ve pretty much nailed it there!
they shot themselves in the foot. To me they went for what they thought was real short term gain, aligning it with masters week, rather than fleshing the game out a bit, removing the ton of bugs and putting some multiplayer in.
I can absolutely imagine that either people won’t buy it because they’ve read or know turn order and other online modes aren’t in….
Or they’ve bought it and are pretty disgusted with how bare bones a lot of it is!
this company, their goal is to make money… and as soon as that slows, that’s pretty much it.
m so to me…. People not buying it in the first place and people walking away because of how empty it is….
yeh, I can’t really see them ploughing a lot into it.
maybe another few tweaks, just to show willing.

For me its either this or nothing. 2k sports and wgt never filled the void I've had on the pc for the last 15 years. The play control and sporting feel is what EA sporst games are known for to me and this is bringing back alot of nostalgia. Honestly Maybe thats why EA even released it for the PC themselves, simply for the nostalgia lol. I can only cross my fingers they add turn based multiplayer and a communication option and then i'm satisfied.
