I thought the updates would be coming a little quicker. I'm still holding out but this game is on the trade in list if things don't change soon. The lack of developer interaction is worrisome.

I have no doubt the game will be worth it next June.

If they can add commentary maybe they can remove the stupid over the top celebrations that the characters do after putting.

They really did kill off this series. The last game before this (TW14 Masters, I believe) was looking really promising for last gen. It's just sad, when I played the EA Access of this game I had really high hopes. I was wrong, it's obvious that they didn't put the resources into this game because it's not a money maker. I just wish it wasn't so much about the money, but it always will be. Hopefully, this wont be the last golf game from EA, but I have a feeling after this game flops, they will have the excuse they were looking for. I really hope I'm wrong and I hope they keep patching and updating this game so they can salvage it.

This one fix would make so many people happy that EA should really strongly consider doing it ASAP.

Having said that the release of East Lake is pretty much happening just like they said it would. If the rest of the 'road map' were shared I think that could go a long way towards instilling consumer confidence in the game.

Another course might make me come back to the game and play a few more rounds. However, I'll just get tired of it rather quickly again.

I enjoy the game, there's just not enough in it at this point to keep me playing it. Especially with Madden out now.

Give me about another 5 courses, and all the previous game modes outside of career, and it will get me playing even more probably.

# 7 goillini03 @ 08/28/15 10:47 AM

The problem for many, including myself, is adding one course at a time each month or two does nothing for me. Over time, it might be worth it when 6 or 7 more courses are added and career mode is revamped. But how long will that take? Having a fun, playable game a year after release is a joke. Even if they roadmap it out, it still does nothing but tell me when to pull the game off of the shelf.

I've said this before and I'll say it again. This game to me is pretty much a bargain bin game without Country Clubs. Country Clubs just added a whole new dimension to the game and it's an utter shame that it's no in Rory PGA. These forums used to be crazy with all the Country Club threads/ posts from back in the TW13-14 days.

Such a shame really as I'm a die hard golf fan. I haven't purchased the game nor played it but this game doesn't really attract me at all. Too barebones and from what I've seen career mode is severely lacking.

# 9 Richzilla @ 08/29/15 08:50 AM

I like the game. I've had fun with it so far.

I agree it could be 100% better.

Country Club is missed big time and the number of "real" courses is sad.

I would love to see some ability to tailor the season schedule as well.

I think it was also a misstep releasing the "pre order" course for free so soon after release. I know it was quick and easy..Kind of ticks off their most loyal fan base though.

I would love some detail on courses that may be released in the future even if we have to pay for them. Hope is a powerful thing

Everyone I know that bought this game has already traded it in.

# 11 Flightwhite24 @ 08/29/15 12:19 PM

Even though I enjoy this game I'm so disappointed in what EA gave us. I do feel burnt on this title. Just to much is missing coupled with the fact the Silent Treatment that EA is giving us is a low blow imo.

Anyone know if there are more course coming after this one?

Even maybe as payed DLC? More courses would be amazing!!
Happy this one is coming.

Yes, a "road map" would make me happy. I get it all takes time just give us a kinda schedule.

Nobody knows about any further updates. EA has been pretty quiet about it.

At this point, if they went paid DLC for further course, I'm almost positive those who have this game will riot. There wasn't enough in it at launch to justify the full price tag, there was the comments from EA it wouldn't be yearly, and it would see content updates. At this point, there hasn't been enough in the way of content updates, to warrant offering something for purchase, at least IMO. They need to give us at least two more courses, and bring back all the other game modes outside of career that used to be there, then maybe, maybe we can start talking about paid DLC.

I just don't think the timing is right for paid DLC at this point, Too many people are still turned off by the content given, for the price up to this point.

Is it ironic the only games I have buyers remorse for are only made by EA? They got $60 outta me again

# 15 Triggerfish @ 08/31/15 08:41 PM

I think mine is going back tomorrow while I can still get 30 for it. The other game is just too good.

The only course I'd pay for in this game would be Augusta National because I'd know how pricey this would be for EA and would be willing to support that feature. But yeah I haven't touched this game in a least 2 weeks and I'm waiting at least for East Lake to be in the game before I consider picking it up again. EA really needs to get more courses in ASAP and then have much better interaction with the community. That would go a LONG way to easing a lot of the dissatisfaction with this game.

I'd think any course they put in would be pricey for them. Sure, Augusta is more due to the license probably being more costly to obtain, but the sheer amount of work that goes into each course to be measured up with their lasers and whatever else they use to get the exact terrains into the game, then the visuals, etc, etc, it's a long costly process for each and every course. So, like I said, I'd be willing to pay for more.... down the road. Personally, there isn't enough value in the game itself at this point for the price that was initially paid to warrant paid DLC at this point. So, it's not about never wanting to pay for them. It's more about, give me my initial value first. Then I'll consider purchasing some of your extra's if they appeal to me, but until I feel I've gotten my $70 value... that's not happening.
