4.7 GB patch this morning on PC... Read elsewhere that the leaderboards showing "E" for everyone in career mode is fixed, and there is now a 60 FPS mode for console. |

New patch notes: answers.ea.com/t5/News-Game-Updates/EA-SPORTS-PGA-TOUR-Patch-Notes-4-5/td-p/12698403PS5 and Xbox Series X players can now use the new “Visual Quality” setting to toggle between “Quality Mode” and “Performance Mode” in the visual settings screen.
“Quality Mode” represents the game’s current behavior, which provides the highest quality visuals at 30 frames per second (FPS).
“Performance Mode” is an all-new rendering mode, which provides smoother camera motion and animation at 60 FPS, at the expense of lower resolution and visual fidelity.
We recognize that this was a highly requested feature by the community and are happy that you now have this choice.
In anticipation of the U.S Women’s Open next week, updates have been made to support a series of challenges which will be released during the tournament.
Lastly, we have fixed a bug that caused Career mode leaderboards to show “E” for every golfer during intro and outro sequences, regardless of their actual score. We understand and share in your frustration when an update introduces a new issue like this that wasn’t previously occurring. We remain committed to adding new features to EA SPORTS™ PGA TOUR™ like “Performance Mode”, but we will do our best to do so without compromising the quality of your current experience.
Gameplay:
- “Round Settings” have been added to the scorecard screen, so that settings such as wind speed and course conditions can be referenced while in gameplay.
Courses:
- Global: Reduce popping of bushes and tall grass during hole flyovers on a number of courses.
- Banff Springs: Reduce shadow popping during hole flyovers.
- LACC: Add grandstand behind hole 2 green and remove grandstand behind hole 11 green.
- LACC: Fix for missing stairs on the greenside grandstand at hole 14.
- LACC: Removed green awnings from the clubhouse.
- LACC: Removed all visible mow lines.
- LACC: Fix LACC flag on the right side of hole 1 not reacting to wind.
- LACC: Fix tree branches clipping through the concrete pillar underneath the bridge at hole 9.
- LACC: Replace USGA tee markers with U.S. Open tee markers.
- Oak Hill: Fix for shadow popping in bunkers.
Golfers:
- Update Jessika Korda’s round 2 and 3 outfits.
Branding:
- Fix for the "Dominican Open" tournament in Career mode showing "The Players" branding.
- Update logo on U.S. Open ball marker to be more clearly visible.
- Update caddie bibs to use the latest U.S. Open logo.
- Update images in the store on some gear to use the latest U.S. Open logo.
UI:
- Event Info Screen now displays Gameplay Style and Swing Mechanic for the upcoming round.
- Equipment: Backing out of the select loft screen will now display specs for the selected type of club instead of always displaying specs for fairway woods.
Quests:
- Fix for "Quest Complete" popup showing unlocalized text for items.
General Stability:
- Fix for a number of crashes and softlocks related to network disconnects in a variety of areas of the game.
- Improvements to crash reporting metrics.
- Additional crash and stability-related fixes.
Misc:
- Visual improvements to some hairstyles, fixing instances where lighting was unintentionally reflecting off head texture which caused hair to look thinner than intended.
- Fix for rare occurrences where button spamming after restarting a match or requesting an unplayable lie would cause the golfer to move to an incorrect location on the course. |

Just re-read the patch notes, and realized that the 60 FPS Performance Mode is NOT an option for those playing on Xbox Series S.

What's with the patch notes nag screen that pops up every time you return to the top level menu? Anyone know how to make it go away for good? Looks like it went away on it's own right after the patch notes were posted on their forum. I have tried to hang in with this game because I see huge potential but, at this point, it is like watching someone write their own obituary. So few people are playing this game on any platform that I don't see where the funds are going to come from to implement the really important upgrades that this game needs (country clubs and more online formats) to grow the user base. To me, every patch shows just how little can be accomplished in the short term and how long term the real fixes this game needs are. I really tried to play the EA game and was building my golfer up slowly. I’m not saying I’m completely done with the game but I have not played EA in over 3 weeks now. The lack of country clubs and some sort of TGC format pretty much slowed my EA play to a crawl. I also got bored with the challenges. I’m still at some point going to go thru the Career mode.. I was playing the Daily tourneys but I just don’t think there are any kind of regulation with the tourneys so why even bother? I don’t hardly even see the main golfing streamers playing the game anymore. It is was like they maxed their golfer out and that was it. How many total courses does the EA game currently offer? After playing Augusta for like 2 straight weeks in the first month as it had those tourneys and challenges I really don’t want to see Augusta anymore until next April on TV….I feel like the game is slowly circling the drain in a lot of people’s homes. |

I feel the same. I loaded up the game after todays patch and played 18 over at LACC. In my opinion, it didn't look anything like what I saw on TV. I quit after 8 holes. I just don't enjoy the look and or gameplay. It needs some sort of multiplayer competition for me to continue on. The last four days I've hammered out 8 to 10 rounds of 2k23, each day! It's just a better experience for me all around. I'm glad other players here love EA Golf though. If EA had societies and a rival TGC Tours thingy, I would play it. But I'm certain that playing EA makes my 2k23 swing suffer tremendously. |

i think the swing is a lot better and smoother on 60fps on the xbox It is better and smoother. I can't feel it as much as see the improvement in my tempo results. I'm getting a lot more perfect tempos now. The problem I still have with it the swing, even at 60 FPS, is that it feels like the animation speed has an artificially low speed governor on it. The swing feels like it's being suppressed to keep me from going off the rails. I don't get nearly that sense with PGA 2K23. |

Hopefully we get a new 2K game next year and EA takes a year off and comes out again in 2025. To me that would be ideal. I'm not overly please with either one at this point.

The whole game just plods along at its own slow pace I’m just button mashing between shots to speed it up.

Thanks for the quick answer. Let me know if it ever does. Onward. Checking back in with the folks that are in the know. Still no mouse swing? |
