I'm assuming that signing Rory had a lot to do with the negative reaction to the original announcement. Personally, I really like crazy minigames in my sports games, and the battleships didn't annoy me. I never thought they were ditching real courses and the PGA Tour.



But with a real pro on the box, it emphasizes that this is a PGA game first.

I think the battleship scene was just unexpected and as ea present it came off as a main feature and people didn't like it. Really excited for this game. Honestly not expecting it to be too different from last gen. But the stuff they posted today has been excellent. Can't wait for June.

To say I'm not worried how this game will turn out would be a utter lie.

EA has a bad track record with a games 1st cycle on a new system. Madden, Live, and NHL. I'm sooo hoping it won't be the same with this game as I've always liked their golf games. Keeping fingers crossed!

Personally I like Jordan Spieth Tour Golf better! Or Bubba Tour Golf!

If I were Tiger, I would be stoked to get as far away from this series as possible. It's crazy to think anything golf and PGA related wouldn't have Tiger associated with it, but lets be honest....the game has been on par with NBA Live as major disappointments.

This trailer reminds me when the series first moved to the 360/PS3. I was so excited to get my hands on it, and when I did, its been down hill every since.

Don't get your hopes up. The initial trailer was Battlefield 4 golf.
The EA way is in game purchases to boost attributes. Limited amount of courses so they can sell you more course packs later. You can guarandamtee they won't have a useful course creator like The Golf Club.

Well that's not completely true. Madden and fifa made a nice transition. Prior gen NHL was the only one that was great the other games were awful. Tiger woods 06 was pretty meh on the 360 so that means PGA should be a solid out this time around by the way history shows
