Chairman, we just have different wants and needs from a golf game. TGC is loved by most on here, to me it was a barren, soulless experience that I can only play one or two rounds of at a time. It was a nice game, especially considering the size of the studio that made it and keeping price in mind... But it wasn't my cup of tea for long stretches.

This game, from what I've SEEN, is what I like in a golf game. Just hoping they make it tougher.

Been watching the developers twitch stream.... Something that seemed really apparent, and I'm hoping someone can clear up.....

In the golf club.... A big part is elevation. I.e the green is 30 foot downhill, so take of 10 yards to account for that.

In rmpgat it seems they literally just put the aim marker by the hole and then swing. They were playing on the Grand Canyon course and a par 3 pin was like a mile below them, lol, and they made no adjustment at all.

Does that not need to be taken into account in this game?

On Arcade mode, with the blue arc, it takes all that into account for you. Millennium was streaming last night and you very much need to take all that into account on Tour mode.

I was already disappointed in the lack of courses. I've gotta say I am also disappointed in the gameplay. Everything just feels clunky. The game is pretty looking no doubt. But the gameplay just lacking. Nothing feels all that fluid. It kind of reminds me of World Series Baseball 2k1 on Dreamcast. The game was graphically amazing at the time. However the gameplay was so automated and lacking to the point that the graphics didn't matter. That how I feel. I'll finish out the 10 hours on the access trial, and then it's back to The Golf Club for me.

Great, that's a relief then. Now if they could just increase the mi**** window, that'd be a massive step in the right direction.

People were shooting rediculously low scores online in tw14. I saw -25 on a regular basis which made playing the game online totally pointless for me. Online players were hitting the ball 500 yards and never missed a put. So will this game be even easier than that?

**MHammer113** · 07-09-2015, 06:48 PM

I have not played, but a few little things drive me nuts that could easily be fixed via patch.

- hate the way the hole looks. Needs to be deeper and painted white around the cup.
- celebrations and animations where they pick up the ball is bad
- and you should be able to set more course conditions

I'm sure on Arcade mode, those types of things will be possible in this game too.

All of those people saying how good that tw14 was seem to forget how easy it was.

In Amateur mode, yes, but you did not see scores like that in Simulation mode. RM (in TOUR Custom mode with all aids off but green grid) is in between leaning towards TW14 Simulation, but not there just yet, IMO.

No not just in amateur mode. People had found ways of cheating. Even on simulation mode people were posting very low scores. On pro mode I saw scores of -30. Let's not get too romantic about tw14. It was a great game ruined by cheats. TGC is ruined by cheating(and many other things ) when I played a online round on tw14 on pro mode or maybe the one a above. I had custom settings I think. it was always a solo round cause the scores were so low. I managed -21 at St. Andrews once, which is silly but I was miles behind the leading scores.
This game can't be any worse than that.

Was/Am kind of on the fence. Most of my issues have already been covered by others.

HOWEVER(and this could be a big one)

Variable shot/landing, maybe!

I played around with the Night Challenge thing and it turns out it can be a decent driving range. The big thing I think am seeing is variable shot/landings. With this mode you end up hitting the same shots over and over again. What this seems to show me is you can groove shot after shot and unlike recent TWs you will have a large area of where your ball ends up instead of having them all grouped in a small circle. If this is really there then it could make a huge change in some of the really low scores. Holing out from long range shouldn't be as repeatable.

I know we have had some deep discussions on this very thing.

Any game is susceptible to cheating....that was not the point. Without cheating, you did NOT see scores like that.

Re: Rory McIlroy PGA TOUR Trial Available Now on EA Access, Post Your Impressions

tiger woods 07 for xbox was perfect when it came to feel and swinging and hitting your yardage.. It was pure skill
This game is a hot mess!! I hate saying that but i wont even finish my 10 hour trial

It feels like a slideshow golf game.. there is zero feel with the swing.. Try it yourself everyone. Try to hit a swing and hit the ball 10 yards . You cant do it.. golfer will hit it at least 50 percent ..
Its a laggy framerate stuttering hot mess.

Breaks my heart i was really looking forward to it
