Maybe some of these guys can help get an actual answer for the live society play being removed, either individually or collectively. I am just throwing out names of people who were NextMakers, stream the game alot, or admins here. The answers we have gotten thus far from people who are thousands of miles away from the ears of the people who need to hear the uproar do not make any sense to any of us who have gotten a response. Live society play has been a staple in this game for years. Granted, some of the people below only seem to stream or play solo play, but it might help, even just a little bit. Even if they have no plans to bring this back, an explanation as to why is needed. Doyley seamount4life killahbeaz132 Crazycanuck1985 respawntv early1981 gdog SupremeBinkz |

With cross platform play coming next month, maybe they are turning off live ghost play while they are working on cross platform society play.
Or maybe I am being too optimistic, they did give the option to prohibit magic balls in societies so there is a glimmer of hope.
Even cross platform private matches would be great.
Or worse case scenario, cross platform is for online match ups only that a lot of people don't even bother with.
I asked one of the Devs at HB quite a few years back if it would be possible to have just online cross platform leaderboards without ghosts. He replied it wouldn't be difficult to have the whole experience cross platform.
I also tend to think that they have totally ignored fixing turn based ghosts for a reason which are totally broken as they play at Benny Hill fast forward speed for the majority of their shots, because of cross platform.
It is a very poor experience and makes the game feel shoddy and unfinished, hopefully full cross platform society play with live ghost and properly working turn based ghosts is a thing next month.

Absolutely 100% agree Paul, let's all drop to our knees and pray to the boss of 2k to make this happen A lot of us xbox true simmers enjoy playing with ghosts and enjoy playing live together in the society's and everybody feels half-hearted with this game at the moment. Wouldn't it be nice to play under 1 roof on USE tour. Fingers 🤞 |

Out of interest were there dates on the road map? I noticed the clubhouse pass season ends this week and was wondering if that's a milestone for some of the announced features in the pipeline.
Crossplatform society play is absolutely the dream (or maybe the nightmare lol). But USE, TST, and True Sim Sanctuary with shared leaderboards would be absolutely fantastic.

All they say is it is for Season 2, which I presume means clubhouse pass 2, which if memory serves me right, there was a break of about a month or so between the 2 clubhouse passes in 2k21, so I don't expect anything till February. The only crossplay we will get is in private matches, via room code, it's already there and just needs to be 'turned on' by an update by 2K, as I tried to get my brother on PC to try and join my game and it said, 'Crossplay locally restricted' |

The ghosts I play with in my rounds never play at Benny Hill fast forward unless I manually fast forward their shots; if I hold the button down until their ball fully comes to rest it seems to make every shot auto FF, but I can stop it by pressing the button for a second or two on any following shots. I've never had them fast forward by themselves.

I've never had them fast forward by themselves. Really? They are like that, all by themselves, every round I use ghosts... Not on all shots though - seems to be completely random when it kicks in. Might it be that it kicks in when I use FF for one of my own shots as well? |

Mate I've really missed playing Sim Sanc as much this year but it's for the reasons you've listed there. Everytime I tee off and trees, bunkers, shadows and paths are popping in left right and centre when the ball is in the air I just think why tf am I supporting these clowns. Not expecting miracles from EA but can't be worse than this.
Oh, believe me, EA can be worse than this. way worse. I've seen it a couple times in other games by them. Believe me, it was much worse than this. So much so that is very rare that I buy anything from EA anymore.
Hey Fescue that issue that you talked about, they told me that it was fixed, on Dec. 20th, and would be in the next patch. I'm assuming they meant the next "official" patch, not the next stealth patch. LOL |

Not sure if fast forwarding my own shots will cause it though, I'll try it later today and see what it does. |

Mucking around in the champions tournament right now. So I tried fast forwarding my own shot, that had no effect on ghost shots. Fast forwarded one of their shots, that resulted in all their following shots fast forwarding automatically. Double tapping on the FF button undid the auto FF.

And I wouldn't be that surprised if it's an awful / shallow game with very few courses (although I hope not!), But I couldn't see it having such poor console performance as this one or lacking basic multiplayer functionality. |

Fast forwarded one of their shots, that resulted in all their following shots fast forwarding automatically. Double tapping on the FF button undid the auto FF. I never thought of this, as I play fixed cam mainly I tend to fast forward the end of blind shots just to speed up time a bit as you can't see where the ball finishes up anyway. Seems the best fix for me is just not to touch FF button at all in rounds which I am totally cool with  . Thanks for your input twofor22 and now I can finally enjoy turn based ghost play again in society rounds in this game, as I was really getting frustrated with it. |

I know I'm speaking for myself only but I'd have no issue at all with the developer coming back and saying "We goofed. We all know you've had live ghost society play for years and we've dropped the ball. Here's our plan and just stick with us, we will get it worked out". Here's the problem: Canned email responses from 'customer service' representatives who are pretending to care or attempt to diagnose a problem they have no clue how to fix or even answer. More problem: HB/2K not coming out with ANY statement regarding screw ups they've made. Holding yourself accountable goes a long way in this world. Ignoring your customers and your problems steers them away. They seem to care a lot less after they get our money. EA may just take advantage of that. |
