I'm willing to buy DLC for more courses, like I did with TW14. I was genuinely hoping for more than one extra course in this "big" update.

Personally I feel 30 (35 by end of year) is plenty of variety, but having 40+ available in TW14 was nice. Although I didn't get all of them before they pulled the plug on DLC so I can't take full advantage of it.

I think there's pros and cons to the DLC way and the live service way, the DLC way gives options for people to buy more if they want but it cost >$100 to get all courses on the game which is a lot. And locking the first leg of the FedEx Cup playoffs (Bethpage) behind a DLC unless you pre-ordered from a specific site was kinda crappy. Thankfully they didn't put any DLC courses in the major rotations, but on the flip side it would've been nice to have Whistling Straits and Bethpage be free and on the rotations.

It's honestly not that concerning. This game is one of the few PC games that buying on Steam is not the prefered way to purchase.

So this doesn't include EA app purchased versions which consists not only outright purchases but people that play through EA Play Pro subscription. A lot of people that play sports games on PC have an EA play pro subscription cause it's such a sick deal.

Not saying that sales are astronomically better than what steam is showing. The game most certainly isn't a sales chart topper but I bet that it falls into what was expected and it's not bad.

Golf season is just ramping up in a lot of North America and if they keep adding and improving things will tick up.

I think the more alarming stats are the active players. 21K players have bought the game thru Steam, but the peak number of players in the last 24 hours is 484? Means not many people are still playing the game, just one month after release. Just for comparison's sake, that same site says the peak number of PC players on PGA 2K23 in the last 24 hours is 2,336...

I think that EA number will climb after tomorrow's update, but for how long? Will be interesting to see.

I actually think the nice weather and golf season starting means it will be harder for the game to get traction. People here by me in America's Dairyland/The Frozen Tundra want to be outside, since we can't leave the house for 6 months out of the year.

Again, will be interesting to watch.

It seems most went back to the HB/2K game. No surprise, it's a better golf sim, specially for picky golfers.

Stoked for oak hill. First time I think I’ll get to play a course then get to walk it a few days later. Super excited for the first round. Sunny and low 70’s here in Rochester, perfect golf weather.

Now THAT is very cool to hear! Cheers! Let us know your thoughts.

[C.J.S.]

the 3click meter mark is misreading power distance on chips, it goes way beyond the distance shown.

Also the 3click meter on short puts is designed to give you no time, you can't see the movement of the meter before you go past the mark causing you to overhit your short puts, every time.

Another thing i can't believe a PC release has no mouse click, who thought that was a good idea?
