Point taken. Can't argue with that. I came to game late (only last month), but from what I gather its been radio silence from them for a while...never a good look.

Also coming to think of it, there's literally no other competition on the major consoles as far as golf games go. With more interaction with the community (and let's face it, unlike when EA was putting out yearly golf titles, this game was always going to live or die by its community), they'd have it all sewn up the way 2K have with their basketball series - and after a few years off, look how EA are struggling to stay relevant with NBA Live. HB seems to have missed an open goal.

Well all I can say is thank God for Tgctours. Without it I'd have been off this game after a month. Its pretty much what the game itself should've been but free! That's why I donate.

If I add it up I pay for for the tour than the game! If HB was smart they would develop some kind of virtual PGA tour to play along with the real PGA. They could even televise the virtual tour leaderboard or great shots during commercial breaks or whatever. It’s a win for the PGA as well since they would gain viewership and exposure. HB could charge a small nominal entry fee into the tourney. Bottom line is a small market video game has to think outside the norm. There is money to be made.

HB could charge a small nominal entry fee into the tourney. Bottom line is a small market video game has to think outside the norm. There is money to be made. In my eyes, this is the real main reason why I think HB just NEEDS a new game. Is simply a waste, to (not) use the PGA license in this way. When I realized how the PGA tour works in this game, i just cannot believe it is so stupid. I just stopped to play it and started a looksalike PGA Tour on my private society. I mean..i understand you can use only TPC as real courses, but why the hell don't allows the player to change courses? And I also spended an entire day or two to change the players names ( useless move, anyway, cause every field on every tournament is absolutely randomic. AND, if you change also the portraits, they will be messed up every time you play again the PGA Tour) Furthermore, just to say, if you ends a tournament in tied 1st position, you must to share points and prizes. The rain don't affects the game..i could continue. I think just these reasons are enough to ask a new game. If we speak about technical sides...well, things are maybe worst. But some of these i suppose they could be fixed whit no need of a new game..as the distance of flying (and also the rolling, probably) on flop shots..or the randomic super slow with master clubs, the continuos issues with publishing of courses and various things as the too few options for designers.. I really wish at least a patch. A good one. Just as a signal of good faith. Just to show us that this game is not abandoned as it honestly seems to be. At this moment, without this tour and forum, i should have no reason to play this game instead to play again TW2014. Really.

NHL 20 just got revealed. If HB put out their new game like EA just did with their hockey game you guys would be crying bloody murder!! TAKE AS LONG AS YOU NEED HB!!! There is enough to this game even with some of issues to keep us playing for a long time. Im going to respectfully disagree with this. EA is not without its problems, but the depth of nhl series and its modes is lightyears beyond what tgc offers...which were both nearly priced the same. If we didn't have tgctours the only thing worth playing is "slightly" buggy society's. Online matchmaking and career are borderline unplayable. Not only that nhl was still doing updates as of a month ago...granted i can barely tell what they update and we often do joke between ourselves that the only thing they change from year to year is the menu screens lol. Its basically become a yearly subscription but to me its still worth it as they still support and update the game as they go. Lol I’m not saying we compare the two games. Obviously, NHL has more cash behind it. It’s an established Franchise. Over 30 years old now. The Golf club is what? 5? HB is independent , EA is a corporation. What I am saying.. NHL is a shadow of what it once was. The appeal to go out and buy this game like a kid at Xmas.... long gone!.... the game is sooooo long in the tooth. For NHL to gain anything, they need a complete rehaul. Drake??.... Chance the Rapper? ?!!!! No sir.... that’s a slap in the face. HB is young and still learning. They don’t need to follow EA’s business model. The NHL series is pathetic now, really, it is and I used to be a hardcore EASHL club player in competitive 6’s. Maybe EASHL will be better with the new goalie animations, but the game remains the same. No help for the D, all for the offence. HB.... TAKE YOUR TIME!

And that’s a fair point. It was the same over at NHL with leaguegaming. Over there, you played competitive 6’s. But it was the immersion that kept you. You got drafted by a club, offered a contract, could be traded, waived etc and I’m talking right from the CHL up to the AHL then to the NHL!. And it was fan@!$#ingtastic!! Only problem was the game itself. The only problem remains the game itself, and NHL 20 will be more of the same. At least the The Golf Club 2019 has enough in it to keep going. NHL can’t say the same.

Let me tell you the real slap on the face for me...
I bought this game at the end of April. Digitally it was basically full price - £40. I thought 'Heck no am I paying that for a year old game', so I ordered it from Amazon for £20 and thought I was getting a good deal.
Two days later, after I've already opened and played it, it ends up on Xbox Games for Gold absolutely free. ARRRRRRGH!

I'm pretty sure EA have a tonne more resources than HB Studios though. I agree with the stance that with TGC Tours we've got enough to keep playing till the next one comes out. If this place didn't exist it would definitely be a different story.
Any positive comment about EA is immediately cancelled many many times over by their disgusting pay to play model, as far as i'm concerned.
Also, i don't know about their american sports games, but the "soccer" game has such a high rep and it's garbage. The players and ball are on rails, and there's a hilariously bad catch up logic, which gets worse as you go up the difficulty settings, and enrages people online. If you get more than 1 goal in the lead, your players are suddenly running through mud and your passes slow RIGHT down and become easy to intercept or get the defender right to the receiver to make an easy tackle. Oh yeah, and if you CAN keep the ball, EVERY shot hits the post/bar! Like literally 5 in a row. Just ridiculous they call that a "simulation..." It's a poor arcade game.
EA are garbage.

I think the majority of the community is ready for a new golf game. I honestly feel TGC2019 was an improvement over TGC2 just like TGC2 was an improvement over TGC. The fact the game is improving slowly with each release is a great thing. Yes with every game there is flaws and things that can be better. Hopefully HB_studios or 2K announce something soon. They marketing or lack of it hurts there product. If it wasn't for community's such as this place this game would have far lower player and designer participation. 🤞 we hear something soon.

EA have long been money grabbing wankers with no care for their customers. Endless Sims add ons... loot boxes...
