[PangThePain]

As titled

[Farcyde]

Total opacity / lack of transparency, no communication with their customers other than marketing micro-transactions / loot boxes ...
Why am I not surprised with EA anymore?

[Ace_Of_Hades]

Relax people. If the patch is scheduled for tomorrow then maybe the patch notes will be added tomorrow.

The Masters is coming early next month. Maybe an update and promoting the game before/during the tournament ?

I'm no expert at this sort of thing but you can go to Steam DB and take a look at the actual files changed.

Lots of textures for what looks like all courses, and something to do with "rewards bundles".

Googled EA Pga tour patch notes and found the page that way.

Welcome to Season 11!

Season 11 launches as the largest content update to date for EA SPORTS™ PGA TOUR™ with the release of four new courses and the ultimate Major champion of all time, Jack Nicklaus joins as the first playable golfer added since the game's launch. Moreover, starting April 4th, EA Play^ members can enjoy the EA SPORTS™ PGA TOUR™ updates available via the Play List. As with all previous updates, the new courses and Jack Nicklaus are included with no additional purchase required. This now makes a total of 39 playable courses and 23 playable pro golfers.

Included as a 2024 Major Course, Valhalla Golf Course is located in Louisville, Kentucky, a modern, parkland-style course designed by Jack Nicklaus. Characterized by its wide fairways, large, undulating greens, and challenging water hazards, it has been the venue for multiple major championships, including the PGA Championship and the Ryder Cup. Since it hosts the 2024 PGA Championship, Career mode has been updated to have the PGA Championship rotate every season between Valhalla, Oak Hill, and Southern Hills.

Pinehurst No. 2, the second 2024 Major Course to debut, is located in North Carolina and is a world-renowned golf course known for its crowned, undulating greens and strategically placed bunkers. Designed by the legendary Donald Ross, it has hosted more single golf championships, including the U.S. Open Championship and PGA Championship, than any other course in America. It will host the 2024 U.S. Open Championship, so Career mode has been updated to rotate the U.S. Open every season between Pinehurst No. 2, The Los Angeles Country Club, and The Country Club.

The third 2024 Major Course, renowned for its "Postage Stamp" eighth hole, is Royal ♥♥♥♥♥. Known as a world-class course, with traditional links located on the rugged coast of Scotland. Offering golfers challenging wind conditions, deep bunkers, large putting greens, and undulating fairways, Royal ♥♥♥♥♥ is a frequent stop in the Open Championship rota, including this year. The Open will now rotate in Career mode between Royal ♥♥♥♥♥, Royal Liverpool, and St Andrews.

Further celebrating the tradition of Masters week, the Augusta National Par 3 Course will also be added to the game. The course is stunningly beautiful and serves as the traditional venue for the Par 3 Contest held annually on the eve of the Masters Tournament.

All four of these incredible courses are now available to play in Quick Play and Private Match and will be featured in Online and Tournament playlist rotations as well. As previous Ryder Cup hosts, Pinehurst No. 2 and Valhalla have also been added to Ryder Cup formats in Quick Play, Online, and Private Match.

Jack Nicklaus, often referred to as “the Golden Bear," is renowned for his powerful drives, precision iron play, and exceptional putting ability, which contributed to his record 18 major championship wins. Nicklaus's six Masters titles add to his legendary status as the greatest Major Champion golfer of all time. When playing as Jack Nicklaus, you’ll notice that he has his own set of golf clubs, four outfits to choose from, and his unique swing animation. Jack Nicklaus is available to play in any format that supports playing with pro golfers.

Season 11 Pro Pass** includes a wide variety of cosmetics in the premium tier including a selection of spring-themed apparel, Jack Nicklaus’ clubs, and one of his outfits. Completing Season 11 Pro Pass will earn you Jack Nicklaus’ '65 Masters Ball Spec in the free tier and the J.LINDEBERG “KV Tour - Azalea” outfit in the premium tier. Throughout the season you’ll earn tokens to level up your Pro Pass by completing live Quests and playing rounds in Online, Tournaments, and Career modes.

Challenges mode has been updated with two new challenge series. The “Drive Chip and Putt” challenges series offers a taste of what it feels like to compete in the famous junior golf competition. The “Jack Nicklaus” challenge series showcases the history of the Golden Bear, featuring some of the best rounds from his Major Championship victories, and a variety of other memorable moments from his legendary career.

I came across these comments on the EA forums from 2 months ago....

Re: Will there be a EA PGA Tour 2025?

"If there was any doubt for some that this game is not only toast, but EA is not making another golf game, the fact EA didn't keep those exclusive rights for the US Open, PGA Championship and the Open is the final nail on the coffin."

"I started a topic way back in September 2023 that the game was probably toast. That's when I saw the Lead Designer of this game was no longer with EA, he was working on the golf game for 2K. Somebody else in that thread mentioned another top developer for this game was now also working with 2K. The CEO at EA just about all but confirmed in February 2024 that golf was abandoned and cancelled."

Other comments suggested that the 11.0 and 12.0 updates/patch that followed was just what they had already completed before abandoning the game.

EA are f*ckwits! Uninstalled!
