Watching Nicklaus hunch over during his putts, lifting his left leg as he’s about to Drive it, hey it’s in the game. Good job EA, the update I was looking for as I was playing more 2K lately.

Played Royal Troon with the wind cranked up to 25mph to simulate what its like over there. Gorgeous course but with that wind its tough to hit fairways and greens. Was +4 if I recall. My character a 78 overall.

It's a pleasant surprise to be sure, still think this is the best single player game on the market for golf. I'm several years in on a career mode.

I've been following a lot of reddit responses since the game went on gamepass.

Majority of people are saying they deleted the game after a few hours.

I guess they expect a more arcade like tiger woods type of game from the old days.

I've replied to some of the posts that you really have to learn the game and the journey to learning the game and getting good at it is the best part. The one month I had learning this game was one of the most fun gaming experiences in a very long time.

But I guess people don't want to put the time in. That's understandable because you really have to commit a lot of time and energy to learn this game.

Maybe they should have released 2K golf on gamepass instead. Its easier to pickup and play and would have appealed more to the masses.

I got EA Play for PS5 and restarted this game on that system.

I forgot HOW GOOOOOD this game is. Especially when you have to build up your golfer.

I must also say the game looks terrific on PS5. Also the haptic feedback and the mic sounds add a nice touch.

If you have EA Play you need to play this game!

Amen, Lancer. Most enjoyable golf game I've played since The Golf Club 1 or even Links 2003 on the OG Xbox.

I have enjoyed this game more than any golf game in years. Maybe ever? It started to get a little easier with a maxed-out golfer, but cranking the wind up can definitely balance things out nicely.

Learned some bad news about the future of this game today on reddit.

Looks like any new development for this game has halted.

A lot of the team that worked on PGA was sent over to the CFB team the past year.

Rumor has it that there may be a new version of this game with a release of April 2025 around the time for The Masters. But nothing confirmed.

It would be shame if EA dropped golf again like they did after Rory game. But I thought when EA signed the deal with Augusta and the PGA, it was long term and not one shot.

Hope they continue this series in the future.

Trusting Reddit as an authoritative source is kind of like stabbing a rubber repeatedly with a sewing needle and then trusting it to prevent pregnancy.

They way they have supported this game has been great, it doesn't need a new version every year. They could put out DLC with an update season schedule, some players and new courses next year and I would be fine with it. As Rob said this is the most enjoyable singleplayer golf game in years.

Just thinking it has been a while since I played some golf, and based on the comments here and that it's currently 85% off at Steam, sounds like a plan!
