    Why does my character keep smiling like that it's creeping me out?

    EA have done it again yet mugs like me still seem to pay top prices for below par games. Genuinely thought a new official EA PGA Tour game on Playstation 5 would be immense but it's shockingly disappointing    … Expand

    Who found this game good? I got 2K23 for 20 bucks and played 2K22 paying full price and it's miles better. This game is clunky, will slice the ball left or right even if you hit it perfect in the box and just straight up is a joke compared to their last Rory McIlroy one. Their last game I liked a lot and this one is a joke. If you like a game that's harder than real golf due to poor setupWho found this game good?

    An awful attempt at a golf simulator that relies far too heavily on thumbpads and punishes you if your movements aren't perfect. I refunded mine and so did everyone else I know who bought this. We were all excited about it but it's a buggy mess. Also... No Crossplay options? In 2023? Pass on this one.

    Shoddy animation, glitchy, miserable connectivity problems, contemptible little support from EA, the definition of ripoff.

    This is by far the worst ea golf game i've ever played. Let's start first with the positives things, golf courts graphism are really nice. That's about it for the positives. The game is unforgivable even if you swing perfectly. Its impossible to control your shots. The putting is absolutely horrible. Characters customisation is really poor.

    The game looks pretty good but the gameplay is ok. However, a lot of the game is broken, not allowing to progress or track progress on quests, etc.

    This game looks horrible on the PS5. You can tell this game is 30 fps. It looks really laggy. The ball physics are terrible. My ball went right through a bunch of weeds uphill and didn't even stop. The swing mechanics are awful too. Total waste of money. PGA Tour 2K23 is a million times better than this garbage game. Very disappointed.

    Game looks good, but plays like crap. EA took another sport and just took a dump all over it. Almost like they didn't even try to make it play well. Hopefully EA goes out of business.

    This game is unplayable. The greens feel like pavement. The green grids are misleading. Poor distance control on normal shots. Character animations are funny looking. Above everything else, the ball physics are terrible. The sound doesn't make any sense. Golf balls descending sound like a jet engine.

    This game clearly needed at least another year in development.

    Another $60 game from EA with $14.99 worth of content. Tons of problems linking the EA account to the Sony Playstation account. Character customization is awful compared to 15~ years ago when you could upload a picture of your face to create your own player. You can't create two golfers and play against each other. Read that again. No couch coop in a **** golf game. **** you EA and ****Another $60 game from EA with $14.99 worth of content. Tons of problems linking the EA account to the Sony Playstation account.

    Not enough content, it's just pretty. It has some courses that 2K already has from their community courses and players I don't care about.

    I’m disappointed to report that the game appears to have a major flaw. Specifically, upon winning the PGA Tour Invitational, it does not register as completed, and consequently, I didn’t receive any of the promised rewards.

Due to this frustration, and how long I’ve found out his bug has been out I’ve chosen to revert back to playing the 2K23 golf game.

    What a disappointment. One of the most beautiful sports games I have ever seen but the user experience is terrible.

    For a start the game wouldn't even work due to some inane conflict between PS and EA servers. Bad first impression. Once it did the lure of good graphics soon wore off and it became obvious this was another half-baked sports game that EA slapped a few big licences on and peddled for a premium.

Bad first impression.

    The ball physics are laughable. Even on the lowest 'difficulty' there is obvious RNG to screw the player over no matter how well you shape your shot. Putting in this game is a lot like the submissions in their dreadful UFC games, just completely devoid of any nuance and entirely untrue to the sport of golf.

    Lastly, these scum only fix bugs that benefit the player. But when it's a bug that's a detriment to the player they couldn't care less. Challenges not registering 3 months after release.

    Just pathetic.    … Expand

    As golf games go, this is the most fun I have had in a while. It's a massive improvement over recent years' titles. The career mode is both addictive and rewarding, it's full of contact and the presentation is both cinematic and beautiful. A few issues will not get in the way of what I think is the best golf sim around at the moment. Let's hit the greens, people!

    EA is back with a golf game and they don't hit a hole in one right away, but they do come off well. The game mainly stands out for its beautiful courses and smooth gameplay, which can provide hours of fun via the extensive career. The presentation of the sport, on the other hand, is a bit thin and visually the animations are a bit disappointing. Otherwise, the game has many small improvements to make. Nevertheless, it is a decent golf game that will entertain fans of the sport.
