Thanks MAB….👍🏼

Minor detail but the creased look of Jacks left shoe due to the heal lift on his backswing….That’s obsessive detail. Although I’m not sure they’re what he wore in 86.

I'm speechless, what a great update all in one shot. I can see now why the last Pro Pass season was so long. And they gave just about everything Beach was asking for, including Jack.

I was stunned to see the 2024 major courses dropped all at once, right away in this patch...and a playable Jack Nicklaus?!?! Unreal.

I am also enjoying the extra Challenges they added, outside of Jack. The Drive, Chip, and Putt ones are fun and easy...and offer pretty decent coins for completing.

Wow, what an update. I had figured this game was pretty much done. Nice surprise!!! The content here is incredible.

Gameplay may not be where I want it but the amount of content and courses has far exceeded my expectations. Credit to EA on that aspect of the game. Pretty amazing to have the quantity amd caliber of courses here.

I notice it before with pros, but now big time with Jack what a level 99 skill points golfer look like. Mine is certainly not like that, but I started my golfer from the start, before they made the jump from topping at level 50 to 60. I suspect a new golfer would get as many skill points available.

Well on that topic, I'm hoping I'm just an anomaly because I'm not very good, but I've been a 97 for months now. I stopped even looking at Pro Pass or spending any coin on anything, although today I finally got tired of the same blue Adidas shirt I've been wearing for months and bought a lighter colored one.

My point is...I've definitely learned that you can have a 97 or 99 golfer, but if you're not taking the time to do the math on shots or you have a jumpy thumb that randomly goes right or left, you're going to lose more than half of your matches.

A skilled, practiced player with an OVR of 68, that does the math and takes their time, and can consistently shoot straight, will kick my *** 70% of the time. I'm sure there are many others like me that are basically maxed out but lose almost every online match.

Any gameplay updates of note?

I’m sorry to be Mr. rain on the parade, but the game needs more than content to some of us at least.

It does not seem that way. The patch notes didn't specifically call out any changes to the way the game plays.

Bummer…

Oh well, good for those of you that enjoy the game as is.

Carry-on

Two things that would actually get me interested are cross play and the ability to disable RNG

Re: EA Sports PGA Tour New Update File 4/2 ver. 1.000.020

The big 3 for me are:

1. Implement a slider of some sort that lets you speed up or slow down your swing

2. Make the rough and off fairway shots much more punishing

3. Cross play

I get that cross play can be hard to implement, even though it's been done on every game for decades. But how hard would it be to just do an across the board percentage penalty/punishment for every course, no matter what type of rough or weeds it is. Just make all of that stuff at least 50 percent more punishing for instance.

Same with the slider or whatever for the animation speed. I can't imaging a macro patch like that for every golfer, every course would be that hard?

Re: EA Sports PGA Tour New Update File 4/2 ver. 1.000.020

The continued lack of cross play is one that is so mystifying.

Usually that is a restriction because of different modes of play or interaction methods on different platforms, but that is not the case here. Everybody has to use the controller on every platform anyways.

Given the golf games are such a small niche you would think they would prioritize this to keep a vibrant online ecosystem across platforms

Especially when they were doing it with golf games 15 years ago.
