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

[ChaseB]

Thanks for the offer, Chase. Can we get some time in Tour Pro mode w/ fixed (behind the golfer) camera? Even just a hole or 2 just to see what it looks like.

Sure how about I do a couple holes from each camera view?

Hate the putting. Not sure how to put it but for me it feels goofy. No feel whatsoever

Even after 5 holes on Tour mode

Game just seems so scaled back from previous versions

Game looks amazing that's for sure

I've already read some reports of people complaining about the graphics not being in 1080p. Glad to read here about the graphics being a positive feature.

Just hope the game play is solid and there are no bugs.

I hate this prologue stuff. I just want to play, I don't need my hand held.

You can't opt out of the prologue? That stinks. I don't need my hand held either. Weak Sauce EA Sports.

these are my feelings, nearly exactly. but i'll add a few:

-- even on tour pro (hardest) difficulty, it felt way too easy to hit any ball as straight as an arrow.

-- on the green, the ball feels like a magnet toward the hole.

-- the putting mechanic is goofy and doesnt initially feel at all intuitive.

-- i like the graphics and presentation

i only played a few holes and stopped because i really want to spend my 10hrs in multiplayer with friends, but my first impressions are compared to the golf club, this feels way less sim even on the hardest difficulty.

Just finished at TPC Sawgrass shot +1 on Tour difficulty.

Don't really know what to say. If I had to lean one way it would be disappointed but again that was just 1 rd

Headed over to Chambers Bay

agreed again.. i'm even upset with myself for making an early judgement and leaning toward being let down.

i MUST see how it feels in a competitive environment with friends. i want sim, a lot. but ultimately what i'm really looking for is fun competition with friends that doesn't feel gimmicky,

if it can give me that, i'll take it and let it hold me over until fall sports games arrive.

The problem with Tour difficulty is we've been playing a similar version of an annual game (except last year) each year, so they can only make it so hard without completely tricking up the programming of the game. We've basically been practicing the same gameplay for about 8 years now so it's not shocking we are all pretty good at the game right out of the box.

I think if the rough can be turned up along with the wind then that will be enough for me. It would be nice if we could get the occasional sand filled divot lie or cell phone camera going off in the back swing. That would certainly add to the realism. LOL

What I've noticed is if you don't make a complete swing you will be penalized with distance of the tee and throughout the hole. What used to be a gimme in past version this one seems to get it right. I've missed numerous approaches to the green

Damn downloading now,,, I hope putting is not as bad for me as it is sounding. that is my main concern for this game. I need a realistic putting feel

One thing I've seen on PastaPadre's stream is he IS missing a perfect swing on the vertical plane. The problem I'm seeing is the game is not punishing him for it enough or at all.

I don't have EA Access so I can't verify it myself but maybe there's an option somewhere to turn up the sensitivity or difficulty on pro mode. This would solve things for offline play but where this is a little disheartening is if it is this easy, online play on Pro difficulty will be way too easy again and the scores will get out of hand.

Hopefully this is something they can tune...

Totally agree - It seems WAY too easy and non punishing out of the box on the "hard" mode.

Total deal killer if that's the case. I was hoping for at *least* something as fun and challenging as Sim mode in TW14
