Rory McIlroy PGA Tour Will Not Include Augusta National

Re: Rory McIlroy PGA Tour Will Not Include Augusta National

Im more upset that TPC Scottsdale is a pre order bonus

[gsize19]

Was excited when announced but with lack of list of courses, getting concerned... I don't want another fictional course game, have that with the Golf Club which sits dormant on my PS4, hate that game... With EA having a PGA license, was hoping for 20+ actually courses... Not really in the mood to shot over a battleship or through a pyramid in a jungle... Lack of PGA courses will be a deal breaker. I don't mind paying for DLC, but want a course list before the game is released to see if it is worth the $59.99 out of the gate... This could be another NHL15 debacle...

That is ashame Augusta isn't going to be in it this year : - ( I don't know if anybody has seen it,but on Amazon the release date is December 31st,unless they changed it.

No it's still there but it's just a placeholder as that is a Thursday.

Gsize, what don't you like about The Golf Club? Have you played it after recent patches this year? Is it you only like real courses? Some of the designs are really great. Better than most real courses even.

Recently, I found a great way to view shot in real time. Choose the view that stays behind golfer, then during ball flight, press X button at any time and camera will smoothly catch up to ball. It is a great feature, because you control when the camera pans to ball, or not at all. Check it out.

Explains some of my amazon calls when they do not understand things... LOL jk (sorta)

Games without official release dates always have a placeholder when available to pre-order. Always been that way.

Agreed, I think Golf Club is fantastic. One of my all-time favorite golf games. I'm amazed at the skill of some of the course designers out there - there are some real gems to play. But I'm not an either/or kind of guy - I'm sure I'll get into EA Sports' golf game, too, I'm looking forward to it.

I just hope, for the love of Bobby Jones that they get rid of that Goddang cartoony big-headed clubs. WHY is it so difficult to make them look normal??? The driver looks like a bowling ball on the end of a stick! I DO understand that clubs ARE bigger nowdays, but not as big as they show in the game. It's ridiculous.

He owns it, checked it out, and hates it. I'm in the same boat. It's ugly, it's presentation is horrid, and it is nowhere near as SIM as it is made out to be. Basically, it feels like people have given it far more breaks than they would an EA title.



I'm lookin forward to the next Golf game with the fun country clubs and online tourneys, including Play the Pros. I've found that if you are actually willing to play on the higher difficulties, with boosts and post-shot spin turned off, the Tiger Woods played as solid of a game as TGC.



And I'll take licensed courses over user created ones every time. It's easier to set up online tours and tourneys with everyone on the same page. I'll pay for the real courses over sifting through the user created courses in hopes of filling out a library of ugly courses.



I think TGC is going to be great long term, but I don't pay for potential. I'll wait for them to release a better version.

SDwinder, that's what I don't like about it, it's all fictional courses, just not a fun game. I have played it post patches, it loses its value after a few holes for me. Just grip and rip, I have never had a bad drive in this game... Just my opinion, and like everyone, I have one. I'm just not a fan of the golf club... EA has the PGA license, they need to come up huge...

I think the game will look and play pretty well but if you think EA will ever release a game with a course editor I wouldn't hold my breath.

So I guess we'll be back to the 'Southern Open' at Pinehurst...

What most of you are unaware of, EVERYTHING to do with the PGA TOUR with any sort of brand name has a licensing fee associated with it. There is a licensing fee for using the name US Open, The Open, PGA Championship, and The Masters. The cost of many of these "names" and "brands" are extremely high so keep that in mind when comparing a licensed PGA TOUR Golf game with a non-licensed Golf game.

Of course they have when it did/does so much better than an EA game that's been in the world for many years.
Not saying it's perfect but out of the gate it is an impressive game.

Anyways I'm sure I'll grab this game after some OS reviews come out and they are positive. EA golf hasn't earned any day one purchase thoughts.

Re: Rory McIlroy PGA Tour Will Not Include Augusta National

Well, since I enjoyed the last several TW games, and I found TGC to be a major disappointment, I'll disagree.



It is interesting just how many TGC apologists post in the threads for this game. It's like clockwork. It kind of sucks, because one of the reasons I'm excited for RM is the TGC was such a disappointment. I'm kind of tires of hearing about it. You would think avoiding TGC threads would be enough.
