I used to be a big fan of EA many moons ago but they have managed to produce two stale representations of their respective sports the past decade or so. Their hockey and football games are trash. Their last effort in the golf space was mediocre at best. Why would anyone expect anything ground shaking out of them now? Seriously I am hoping for the best but what do you really think they are about now?

Re: EA Sports PGA TOUR Delayed
Well, we have turned the calendar, Do you guys think we will start to get some updates in the next two months and have a release in late summer or so or will we have to wait for spring 2023?

Re: EA Sports PGA TOUR Delayed
Crossing fingers for June/July (Wonder if they worked out some sort of deal with Augusta) if we don’t hear anything by April then good chance we’ll have to wait until next year.Comment

Re: EA Sports PGA TOUR Delayed
I know many wouldn't like this, and they likely wouldn't do it as the initial reviews would be problematic (Ala Rory)..
..but I would take a limited content earlier release if it were an option.
(but I know it's not, especially since they'll be a disc release that needs to be fairly complete and content rich)
It bums me out this isn't coming to PC where they could theoretically most easily be running a beta program as things developed. I really wish/hope they are planning some phase of Beta to help ensure they don't screw this all up again -- again, like Rory.
Basically I'm just talking out loud and sharing my disappointment.
I've been so looking forward to this and having no clarity on where we are at and how much longer we are talking --- just sucksComment

Re: EA Sports PGA TOUR Delayed
Doing something around the Masters make sense but they can only get away with releasing bits and pieces for so long. When they eventually do release it needs to be close to the finished package content wise or it will be Rory 2.0.Comment

Re: EA Sports PGA TOUR Delayed
I think an Augusta trailer would wet everyone’s tongue enough to hold them over another few weeks, then they could drop screenshots of courses and pros.

Re: EA Sports PGA TOUR Delayed
Another few weeks maybe, but I think the concern is that the game might be a full year away still even when The Masters comes along
I wish we had more insight into the reason for the delay.
Is it about the game itself? Licensing stuff? Time to build out more courses? Just waiting on next gen consoles to be more readily available?
It's really hard to predict this situation without knowing more about the reason for the delayComment

Re: EA Sports PGA TOUR Delayed
Maybe EA wants to put it into 2023 so they will have a monster year releasing two new titles in PGA Tour with The Master and the first College FB game in 10 years.

Re: EA Sports PGA TOUR Delayed
I can't imagine we won't get either 2k23 or the EA game before Christmas. Maybe 2k will do an August release like they did with 2k21. I still play 2k21 almost every day after more than a year of having it. I love it, especially playing online with friends. Tour mode is definitely stale at this point, it was lacking so much depth to begin with. I find myself playing more high stakes Skins matches when I have to play by myself.
I'm really looking forward to the next 2 games. I don't want to wait anymore! If either one of them gets it right, the game should provide a couple of years of daily fun and challenge. I'm cool with one coming out every 2 years after these come out, if they are good. Just tired of waiting, especially not getting any updates or information on what to expect and when.Comment

I would rather wait for the EA game simply because i think if it flips like Rory, EA will effectively be finished and hold the majors rights as long as they can even if they did not publish any new games for 2-3 years like they did with EA NCAA BB.
I’d rather then get it right so the game sells great and makes EA want to make another in game after.
I’m very excited to see what 2K/HB have been up to, I’m expecting a bit of a major step in graphics and the PGA aspect of it with Tiger on the cover. Hopefully both are hits!

Re: EA Sports PGA TOUR Delayed
Well stated Volt, as usual. I for one, will buy both games the day they come out lol. If 2k keeps the ball physics, the swing mechanics pretty much like they are now, all they have to do to make me happy is keep course creator and all of the currently available courses, and improve the graphics and Tour mode. Just those basic things and I will be happy with that game for the next couple of years.
EA has a lot more going on, a lot more to prove, and a lot more chances to really screw it up. All of the licensing, courses and exclusives they have, playing as pros (which I'm not really interested in but it's cool to have), none of that stuff will matter if they release a wonky gameplay experience. The choices of how you shoot, the execution of any or all of of those options, the way shooting and putting feels, the mechanics and physics of the ball and the courses, is everything.
If EA gets that part of it as least as good as 2k is now, plus all of the majors, etc, and the inevitable graphics and course additions, it will be the greatest golf game ever created.
I can't wait for both of them and will jump the day they are released.Comment
