I could care less about real golfers in any golf game.

It’s nice to have, especially if there’s the ability to play quick tournaments or whatever they’re called in TW14 where you could play against and watch the Ai golfers. Rory 15 lacked the ability to watch or play against Ai golfers as there wasn’t even a replay system.

I’ll be happy with 10-15 pros and a good custom golfer system.

It will be fine.

After watching the new Forza Motorsport during the Xbox Showcase, I think Turn10 should make a golf game.

I agree with this 100%. Unless the pro avatar is a solid likeness and the swing is motion captured why bother at all?

To each their own but I like having real pros in the game. I mean you wouldn't want to play Madden or NBA 2k with random fake players.

It will be nice to have a ton of pros if you can play career with them like they hinted at last year.

Kinda odd that was never an option in years past.

Ideally, I'd like to see at least a half dozen pros in the game who had their swings mo-capped, but even a half dozen mo-caps would be cost prohibitive. I could accept pros in the game with a generic swing animation, as long as their physique and facial likenesses were faithful AND their stroke-by-stroke play matched up with their real live statistics and attributes. I would play a career mode that at least had pros that met this criteria.

Yeah I’m not too worried about swings. I watch a lot of golf but I don’t analyze everyone’s swing. I’m not going to be playing the game and be like oh that’s not Jordan’s swing or that’s not Brooks swing. As long as they look like their real life counterpart.

I am hoping for the best and expecting the worst. They have a solid start from past games to work off of so I don't want to hear they intend to improve after this initial move back into the golf space. I could care less about pros in the game I am just looking for an experience that mirrors real golf. If they want to use attribute increases so the game gets easier as you improve fine but I don't want to shoot 90 or 50. Think they can do that and provide more than 20 courses to play?

For the real golf experience, your game is probably 2K/HB. This EA game will be a PGA Tour experience. And with a full arcade mode for those wanting to hole out a bunch of times to play -28 and better.

As for mo-capped, I don't see them going to that expense. Just about every casuals have no idea what the pros swing look like unless they're something particular like Furyk of Wolff.

Re: EA Sports PGA Tour Releases in Spring 2023

I could be way off here but I think they could replicate the swings. Look at all the different shot types in NBA 2k, different throwing motions in Madden, different baseball stances/swings in The Show. I don't know enough about production to know how they do it but I'm sure not everyone is motion captured (some of the individuals are deceased and have what looks like their motion in games) so there must be a way to make the swings look somewhat like the real life counterparts without motion capturing the real golfers.

I wouldn’t get my hopes too high on each pros swing being no cap. I believe in Rory 15 the only capped swing was Rory Mcilroy for obvious reasons and the rest had an ugly generic swing. They then added DJ later on and I believe have him Rory’s swing animation which didn’t look too out of place compared to say Jordan Spieths who looked awful.

Well - for starters, the budget to the titles you are comparing this game to are drastically different. Not to say it can't happen but that would be a huge cost for a game that no one knows how it will perform compared to two titles who's sales numbers are consistently very strong.

The Trevino swing was pretty good in TW14. TW14, probably TW13 too can't remember, had several customizations for golfers. Most pros probably went something like: Power draw or fade. Control draw or fade. They were available to us for our golfers.

You might already know this , but with the legends in 14, EA actually mo capped guys replicating their swings.

Turned out really good imo.
