So it appears we again cannot use a current pro in a full PGA tour season? Some of us do not want to create ourself and play on tour. How fun would Madden be if you had to be the quarterback and not Tom Brady?

Golf is comepletly different than madden. Golf is more individual. I mean how fun would it be playing a season as a pro golfer without progression? Would winning every tournament be rewarding?

I just think both ways should be offered. I see your point but there are others who possibly prefer playing as an actual pro. The other EA titles give the option to create ourself if you'd like. I'm just asking for the option. Obviously it can be done as it exists in their other titles.

Looking good, but I think we all knew that.


Nice to get some details on the game mode that gets the most play for me. Starting to sound good. Sounding more and more like the EA Access trial for me now is just going to be an early shot at playing it. It's looking more and more like I'll be buying it, unless something catastrophic happens.

I agree 100%. I love creating myself as a golfer, but it would be nice to be able to play a season as a pro...just like every other sports video game.

Career mode seems even more basic than the last version. This time they plop you into the last tourney of the web tour where I guess that as long as you shoot a decent round, you're automatically make it onto the PGA tour. You don't even have to bother playing any full season amateur or web site tours. How is that a sense of accomplishment when you make the tour? No Ryder cups, no Europeon tour, no mention of match play tourneys on the tour or skin games as a way to make money to travel around the world to enter special tournaments if need be. You could do so much with this sport with replayability with a meaty career mode.

It looks to me that it just exists that to gather XP points. Not one mention of how the PGA tour works. They even give you the quick option to burn through round so you can finish the mode as quick as possible. After 2 years they can't even give some depth to a career\season mode. Seems like it will get pretty boring after a couple of days.

This will be the first time in years I wont be buying this game. Unless they ramp up the presentation to make it feel like youre not playing a spreadsheet, pretty graphics can only go so far.
