Ever since the release, players have been complaining about the game being half-baked and filled with bugs and issues. A recent update resolved a lot of the early issues but also created some new problems.

EA Sports PGA Tour Challenges not working

It seems that after the latest update, Challenges in EA Sports PGA Tour are not working or tracking players’ progress (1,2,3,4,5). Even after completing the missions multiple times, gamers are getting nothing in return.

According to reports, Challenges no longer give credits or stars for the tasks that players complete. Even when they track progress correctly, the rewards just don’t show up.

the concept of challenges is cool and all. But if they dont register the stars during them and i dont get credit for doing them, whats the point?
