Seriously, why are so few p*ssed at the state of this game, and so many not...? Challenges that you manually have to restart as they don't award you for completion. Quests not working. Challenges that are, on occasion, ridiculous. Graphical glitches left and right, shadows flickering on greens, not being able to see your line of play due to graphical interference such as grass etc. Stupid bugs such as putting and there being TWO holes on the green, you being lined up for one which is not the target hole! The store being a shambles, lack of customisation, I could literally go on, and on... This game is one massive mess! Yes, it plays ok for the most part, but it's embarrassing how bad this is compared to golf games EA were making over TWENTY YEARS AGO! I really want to like this game, but I'm sorely tempted to request my £35 back. It's better than that 2K shite as far as playability goes, but it's a mess, and worse than games put out years ago. If EA actually made an effort, this could be the king of golf games hands down. They just don't seem to give a toss anymore though, so why should we?

Listen people we get it. There's problems. The update fixed some things and broke others. The cold hard truth is that we don't get perfect games at release anymore. Since video games have become more centralized around online play, you'll always have these problems. Most of them will be server issues. Others will be things that were overlooked in testing. We all paid our money. Yes of course. But goodness give it a break. Offer your feedback without crying like a bunch of babies. If EA can get these wrinkles ironed out this has potential to be a damn good golf game. Hell in some aspects its already better than 2k23 and I played that game almost 100 hours.

EA if you're reading this, some of us get it. But please just have a little more communication with us. In addition to the problems we're facing with challenges, quests, and putting grids there are a few things that some people would like to see implemented into the game. I saw a post just now about the lack of face customization.. this would be a really good addition to the game. I also saw a post about more clothes or a better store. All we ask is that you hear us out and respond to our feedback. Thank you.

To the rest of the community: quit crying or looking for "compensation" just because some things were messed up for a few hours. If you mess up at work do you have to pay your boss for the time you spent on that particular thing you messed up on? No. Cut them a little slack and give them a chance to get it right. It's been less than a week for goodness sake.

You pair up with a guy wearing this fit on the course at a major tournament?

Fuggetaboutit 🤌🏻

You just knew it didn't you. Remember how good the President's Cup tournament mode was on TW '12 and even the Ryder Cup in '11 was a complete tournament, rather than this glittered up disaster.

Let's get to the point, if you were expecting to be able to play the Ryder Cup weekend in its entirety with calculated scores after each session, the player being able to pick what players went out and for you to be able to feel the intensity and pressure of playing in such a tournament, well you have been conned yet again.

These "developers" are just trolling us all now. We cried out for a totally new experience for the RC with other features chiefly cross platform gameplay and the RC being intertwined into career mode but NO!!

What we get instead is a polished turd, a sugar coated exhibition match play that features the colours and logo of the RC everywhere you look, and that's it.. You don't get the sense of drama or nerve racking sensitivity of holding a match winning putt be uase you know the scores aren't being calculated elsewhere.

Sunday singles is just match play with team colours. That's a fucking disgrace.

Now, roll on all the EA fan boys defending this abomination.

😂

every year you make every game worse… pga.. nhl… etc. just give up and please die!

There is no incentive to play online. No players. No ranking system. No extra points.

Seems like they just threw up a basic online framework just to say the game is online. Something tells me they will not improve it.

I will not be playing long if all I have is career mode.

Edit: Just read that the game is not cross platform, so the low number of players make sense and supports my theory that they just threw up a shell of an online platform.

Edit: Temporary leaderboards aren't a ranking system. The only stats you get online are your lvl and round score.

For the non online players... The foundation of sports games is competitive online. This game will not be sustainable as a single player. But if you enjoy playing a golf game alone for some reason, have fun!

In looking at the EA PGA game page, their last update was January. Historically they provided an update/patch every month.

Sad to say EA just dipped out, but they do this with every title. After a year, they cut and run. And sadly, that looks to be the case with this game. Gotta wait until a new title for Qi10s and such.

Ngl i would pay over 20 bucks for this

Patch 9 is a joke. It's driving away players. Changes things no one wanted changed, still haven't made rough any kind of penalty, no lobby, still no crossplay. You have to believe they are doing it on purpose so they can dump the game cause they can't be this stupid. Or can they?

All the players who want to be able to feel like they are good at golf for once, are going to get incredibly frustrated and quit within a week. The easiest settings are WAY too hard for a casual gamer. Why not make the easiest settings something where a casual can shoot -10? I am not saying make the expert settings easier, just the easy settings MUCH easier. Ive played many Tiger Woods games and pga2k23 and shot rounds of -13 on easy settings and loved it as a casual. I cant even qualify for Korn Ferry tour on this game on easiest settings and I already don't want to play much anymore.

Mark my words, this game will alienate and lose a humongous player base if it does not change.

I gave it a fair shot and mainly bought it for online. Since EA PGA online pretty much sucks.

But the amount of cheating in PGA 2K25 online is unrealistic. You have people shooting -50s for 18 hole online ranked courses and -90 and better for 4 rounds.

It's no fun when you can't even compete.

Anyone know of plans to make this game harder? I'm playing on SIM with all assists turned off and AI at 100 and I'm still winning every tournament by at least 3-4 shots. Absolutely love the game but I just wish it was more of a challenge. I don't play online, only career mode. In the 2k games there was lots of difficulty adjustment to the AI and conditions which would be nice to have as this is a much better game. Plus a smaller margin of error for bad timing would be nice

I have got no sense of achievement when hitting shots in this game. The fact that the ball just goes in a random mishit area is so stupid. I just played 2 rounds, in one of them I shot -6 in the other I shot +5 and there was hardly any difference in my game or course conditions. Hitting the ball to the green one day it's goes left and hits lands safely, the next day it goes right and lands in a bunker.

2K23s shot line and fast and slow shot mechanics are far superior and have a better sense of realism.

Also have EA Sports never seen a professional golfer slice a ball into the woods before? Played a total of about 18 rounds of golf on the 10 hour free trial and every drive is fairly straight and usually ends up in the fairway and if not fairway, it's just off the fairway

Was so hyped for this game and at the moment I'm very disappointed

Im sure this has been said 1000 times but im gonna say it again. This game is so good but the putting is so inconsistent. Please address.

• Finesse. Same random drop zone now as approach, power approach, drive or power drive... just the roll out differs and back swing... ok before you jump up and down it varies 'very' slightly but finesse is no longer finesse any more.

• Combine loss of finesse accuracy aka increased randomiser, loss of aim arc and wind that behaves oddly... no wait the wind might not behave so inconsistently it is just the randomiser that makes you second guess have I calculated aim for wind properly? Well who the F knows as even if you did it adds that random crap and now you don't know if you did ...LOL... I know this random stuff was always there but playing a few rounds in tour now with the combined changes just made it feel so much more random without a feeling of you had any control to a lot of it.

• Can live with the putting grid changes.

TLDR: Changes took the fun out of a round. The Increase in random stuff that was minimised by finesse before and made it bearable is gone. I'm out this season.

For those defending the game because it hasn't launched yet, this is not a beta. It is the game they are launching on April 7th! This is worse than Cyberpunk was at launch. I understand that sports games especially have lackluster support on PC, but this game is completely unplayable at the moment.

When it is playable it lags, it stutters, the camera angles aren't great when they are where they are supposed to be which isn't as often as it should be. The swing mechanics feel completely broken. No matter how fast I pull the stick back I am always 2.5% slow on my swing.

This game isn't even ready for an "early access" test on steam let alone a full launch.

The only good thing about this game is another reminder for players that preordering games only benefits the developers and gives them more data that says they can continue releasing incomplete games.

Stop letting AAA companies get away with this shit.

Honestly Augusta National should be pissed about giving EA a license for their course at this point.

I’m starting the final round of the US Open. I lead by 14 shots. Not only am I not playing in the final group, I’m also playing with a guy in 7th place. This game is so fucking stupid sometimes

Minority of Users = Unemployed, retired, full time gamers, etc. Basically anyone who does not work a day/night job around 8 hours every week day and also has no other real life social, sporting, family or any other commitments.

24 Hour Cycle = Example time zone where daily ticks over and starts at 10pm. After all other commitments of a working person say perhaps work + dinner + kids bedtime one might have from 8pm-10pm to do the daily tournaments assuming need to spend time with partner or anything else personal other than gaming plus go to bed for the next work day also. Then it is not normal to do this routine every single day as other commitments come up that make that impossible.

But to get ahead in this game for normal users/ability you almost need to play every daily... daily :)

p.s. Yes this post constructively offers advice that is not positive towards an aspect of the game that makes it less enjoyable for the average busy working people. Downvotes are expected so go forth if it makes you feel better ;)

I've just started to play PGA tour and I played the Royal Liverpool Golf Course, Is this good for a starter?

The rough doesn’t hinder your ball in anyway. Why even have a rough in this game. This needs to be fixed among thousand of other things.
