EA Sports PGA TOUR Adds FedEx Cup, Playoff and Events - Will Be Implemented in Career Mode

Everyone is excited about the courses included in this game, but if the game play is not there it won't matter. As I have said before PGA The Golf Club 2019 got two things right. Custom* user made courses and game play that made you feel you are playing real golf.

If the game is going to be arcade like with fireballs going down the fairway and turning the ball left and right in mid flight forget it.

Also the ability to create your own course in the game, upload them to the server, and let users download those courses would be a great way to develop a better game community.

On PGA The Golf Club 2019 there were some great course created. The Bethage Black course is one that comes to mind.

Yes, PGA Tour 2K21 and The Golf Club have solid gameplay and a basically unlimited number of courses to play. But there are some issues with that, too.

For example, certain courses in PGA 2K21 are censored and cannot be searched, like certain Augusta clones and St Andrews replicas. Also, 2K is so devoted to the servers, that if the game is not connected online, you cannot play any of the created courses, play career mode, or publish any new course. It's way too server dependent.

Also, PGA 2K21 has certain arcade elements, too - 2K21 offers putt preview, ball trails, as well as oversized hats, putters that look like food and flamingos, etc.

Gameplay wise, 2K and the developers at HB decided that the gameplay in 2K21 needed to be changed 9 months after release. So the way the game played for almost a full year wasn't apparently good enough or something...

I know EA gets labeled as "arcade" all the time, and in some cases it's valid. But it's not like the other games out there are just such in-depth simulations that have no arcade elements in them whatsoever. Not to mention the fact that the Golf Club/2K golf games have issues, bugs, glitches, etc. that never get fixed.

This. I can’t stand how much 2k21 is reliant on servers. Also can’t stand the hot dog putters. 2k21 is WAY more arcade than people like to think...

Yet more reasons to get excited about this game. I ran out of patience with 2K21 due to its buggy leaderboard, so I need a new golf game to fill the void.



And about the fears that the gameplay might not be "realistic," tell me: do you want to be shooting 100 every time you play? Because that's what would be "realistic" for most of us. Make certain settings optional, and have a Pro mode like TW14 that makes it extremely difficult for the expert players.

I am worried we haven’t seen one bit of footage of this, and all course announcement have used their real picture. That usually doesn’t spell good news about a game meeting it’s release date. Was hoping we’d get a least a teaser by now.

Game isnt out for 6+ months yet... I just saw gameplay footage of FarCry 6 yesterday and that releases 10/7/21.

I agree with this, a bit. I have got to think there's some kind of plan to wait to show the game until a bit closer to the date - seems like that's the way game companies do it now.

They still haven't named any golfers in the game officially, and I'd imagine that would be where they could show some in-game footage. I mean, we are still looking at around 7 months until this thing comes out. PGA 2K21 didn't have any true gameplay footage shown until IGN showed an edited video just 2 months before it came out.

I really don't see the big deal about mid-air spin and all other arcade stuffs. I'm sure they will have a full arcade mode, I couldn't care less as long as there's something close to a sim mode. I'm sure this EA game will have a full arcade mode, we don't have to play it. Just as the arcade players don't have to play the pro or advanced/sim mode.

Beautifully said. It’s fine as long as there’s other options like tw 14 had. There should be the ability to shoot -18 on on side and +25 on the other end of it. With the ability to adjust anywhere in the middle.

I'll go even further..

I honestly HOPE they have that stuff in there for those who optionally want it.

Cast a wide net and make a game that is purchased by many and will be well supported by EA for a long time.

If it goes too niche, they'll axe the whole thing at some point.

And EA isn’t afraid to do that either.....

All of this is great. More importantly though how will the game play be? I do NOT want another arcade like golf game with fireballs down the fairway and the ability to steer the ball left and right mid flight.

Of all the things that PGA The Golf Club did not have, it really had great realistic game play. Its just golf and it should play that way.

TW08 PC has great gamplay

TW08 PC is a true gem.
I do wish some of the physics here and there were better/more realistic, and of course it's pretty dated visually at this point...

But -- I still have a soft spot for it.
That was my go-to golf game for a good 5 year run.

This games career mode needs a OPTION to set the difficulty of the field to almost impossible. It gets so old in Rory 15 winning almost every week. I don’t care if the scores are not realistic, I want it to be very hard sometimes.
