Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 14 Developers Provide Some Details on Upcoming Patch

04:50 PM - March 28, 2013 by Steve_OS

The Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 14 development team has posted updates on the upcoming patch for the game. Some fixes are on the server side, which should occur on the next server update. The team is still gathering issues from the community and request that gamers having issues within the game to report them here.

Below are some of the fixes the team has confirmed to be corrected. There is no estimate on when the patch will be released, but it's good to see the commitment from the team to correct any issues. We will continue to update this post as the team adds to the list of confirmed fixes, before submitting to Microsoft and Sony.

Server Deploy on 3/25/13

Connected Tournament payout issues
Connected Tournament invalid score submissions winning tournaments
This fix will prevent users from submitting a score if they disconnect in a connected tournament for more than 1 hole. You will still get the option to submit, and it will appear as if your score submitted, but when you check the leaderboard it will not have your score in it. It is a necessary evil of preventing users from glitching the system to win events. A further fix that will allow score submissions when disconnects happen during the round has been added to the patch and will make this function as designed.
Connected Tournament total score adding newly submitted rounds to previous submitted rounds in total score
This was merely a visual issue and wasn't effecting ranking in any way.

Server Deploy om 4/6/13

Multi Round Tournaments leaderboard display issue
Multi Round Tournaments payout issue
Adjustment to how Tiebreaker Points are earned in Connected Tournaments
Incorrect data for Club Members on Course in the event information module
Several Play the Pros fixes
Holes Played stat tracking
Head to Head games with club members objective fix
Power Pin not appearing on Equip screen

Does anyone know how to activate the true aim feature? I went to the presentation section and all it had was broadcast and follow? Any ideas?

There is no TrueAim feature unless you are playing default Simulation mode and the camera is a bit different than TW11 TrueAim.

# 23 HANDSWARD_EA @ 04/05/13 02:44 PM

I just added some new server side fixes to the patch thread. We are hoping to get these out tomorrow as long as it all passes testing today.

Subscribed so I can follow this

HANDS, thank you for helping keep us in the loop here and providing a channel of communication that we didn't have open to us before.

You guys made a great game this year, looking forward to this patch to seal the deal regarding those niggling issues, especially regarding stats/scoring.

I'm trying my best. I know I haven't been able to get over to this forum much lately. Been busy keeping up with the EA forum along with working a lot since we released.

# 26 Richzilla @ 04/05/13 05:41 PM

I noticed in the list of fixes that the clubs going back to default issue is being addressed.

Should we assume that the golfers changing back to the default clothing issue is part of that same fix ?

I would like to echo that we do appreciate your time spent here and the updates.

# 27 DAROCK2300 @ 04/05/13 10:20 PM

I wish they push that patch out soon so that I can officially redeem my online pass. I didn't want my online stats to be bugged/glitched so I blocked my game from connecting to online gameplay until it's fixed.

# 28 RumbleCard @ 04/06/13 12:53 PM

That list is enormous. I'm a little concerned with them being able to get all of it approved. But if they do I don't think any of us will have anything to complain about.

# 29 shaunjuan2000 @ 04/06/13 12:54 PM

One issue I have and I don't see as being addressed is when I try to play the Featured Event with more than 2 people, it freezes and I have to restart my system. No issues when I play 1 player vs CPU, but when it comes to 2 or 3 CPU players, it freezes almost all the time.

Everything on that list has been fixed. As soon as they are through testing this internally, they will be sent to MS and Sony for certification.

Posted in the official forum this morning by the game's Executive Producer, Sean Wilson:

"We are about to submit the patch to first party in the next day or so and than it will just be a matter of how long it takes to approve before it arrives. Usually these things take a couple weeks obut we'll see. I'm out of the office so my communication will be light this week. Accessing this forum on a mobile phone is too frustrating. However the patch is still coming so please don't take my lack of communication this week as a sign anything has changed."

This can't come soon enough for me!

Sweet, thanks for posting that Onlooker.

My pleasure to post that news... it's going to be a loooooooong two weeks though. YosemiteDan responded to the news by saying: " Look at the bright side, it will feel like a brand new game again once we get it. Kinda like TW14.5"

That's not an overstatement in my case. The disjointed putting camera production continues to leave me feeling isolated from the most intimate part of the game. The restoration of the stationary Follow putting camera alone will turn it into Tiger 14.5 for me! The stat, dodgy information boxes, scoring, set for one hole only swing camera, frozen H2H player camera, and injudicious cut application being fixed are icing on the cake

I'm playing to a different audience here, so I've got to mix up my material a little bit. I already knew I didn't need to give you any more ammunition, as you've demonstrated you're not afraid to pull the trigger!

	I actually did PM Sean this morning and told him we need more specifics on this patch because the natives are restless (myself included) and they were MIA the last few days and that had some of us worried. He responded quickly and told me not to worry and that it should be submitted tomorrow and said that him and Handsward were out of the office this week so they have been absent on the boards because of it. He then made the thread that you referenced about the status of the patch so he did listen to me and acted accordingly and helped address growing concerns with his post.

Thanks for doing that, but I'm a bit surprised that it took some nudging to remind him that something like that needed to be done. None the less, it was reassuring to read and now we at least know when the patch got submitted.

So in other words we all paid 60-70 bucks to be alpha/beta testers and the game really won't be finished until the patch comes out? (NO WONDER EA JUST GOT VOTED WORSE COMPANY OF THE YEAR...AGAIN!)

I should have recalibrated myself a few years back to think of the Tiger patch date as the real release date for the game. Problem is I wouldn't have the discipline to hold off the purchase until then

I think this is a very unfair post. The current state of the console market, and sports games in particular, is one where games generally require a patch after release. That applies to EA games as well as beloved developers like the folks who make The Show. There is certainly a reasonable argument that the new release then issue a major patch era of gaming isn't necessarily gamer friendly (I disagree, remembering the days of the no-patch era) but singling out EA as if it is an outlier in this regard is disingenuous and unconstructive.

# 38 SoxFan01605 @ 04/11/13 10:59 AM

Has anyone else noticed certain clothing having graphical distortions (I believe it's Adidas outerwear)? I've only recently noticed it because I usually just wear polos, but when I preview or equip them, it looks like there is a giant spike that is coming from the left shoulder. I tried resetting the game to see if something wasn't loading properly, but it was still there.

# 39 Lieutenant Dan @ 04/11/13 12:49 PM

One niggling issue that I hope is or will be fixed is that the stat overlays can sometimes 'stick' and when you are trying to putt it can be pain to have to pause and then 'B' button back to resume to make the overlay go away.

# 40 OnlookerDelay @ 04/11/13 01:08 PM

A couple of new updates from EA about the patch and last Saturday's Server side "deployment" (it's geek speak, don't ask me to explain it

).

Both of these come from HANDSWARD (Justin Patel), who is one of the game's developers:

Patch:

"Sorry, but I have been out of town since Saturday. Just got back in last night. I will be giving an update on the patch list later today. There are more fixes to add to the list. The patch is on its way out to first party. Hopefully it can get through there as fast as possible so that you all can have it soon enough."

Server side update:

"We deployed a fix on Saturday that isn't working 100%. It seems that a few users are not being sorted into the leaderboard correctly. It is a server side issue. We hope to have it figured soon and get a fix deployed before the weekend."
