But - Focusing so much on only Rory is omitting the vast majority of EA Golf history, which had some of the best golf releases of all time. 3. The title we should be thinking about here is TW14 Masters, which is clearly what they are aiming to return to. That game was arguably the most content rich and feature complete golf game ever. I literally still play it today (alongside Perfect Golf).

You are right, my last line I can see how it would be perceived as an attack. So for that I apologize. T wasn’t needed.
As for the rest of your post though ?
All I can say about it is that for many, many years now, EA has done nothing of worth. Every one of their sports games has been half assed, lazy, uninspired and worst of all, copy and pastes of previous games.
For those reasons EA should never be trusted

I too would very much appreciate no personal shots.

We don't get them in golf sections. This is one of our safe places and I would love to see it stay that way.

Thank you

Re: the rest

I don't know what to tell you. I really don't play the other EA games of late and so I can't weigh in much.

What I do know is that they know how to make great golf games and a long history shows us that, so I personally am very excited and very very much looking forward to this release.

Hopefully you'll keep an open mind when it releases and see what you think, but if not, no worries - you can always just keep playing the 2k offerings!

It's going to phenomenal to have two legit options to choose from!

I understand 100% of the uncertainty around EA reentering into the golf space. Rory left a bad taste in everyone's mouth.

But HB and TGC/2K21 have been essentially unthreatened for the last 5-6 years. They have been allowed to get away with releasing games that are solid enough, but then sit, not updated, and feature modes that lack true polish and innovation.

EA has done this before. They've made mistakes. Let's hope they learn from them and, at the very least, push HB and 2K to innovate and get better than they are now.

The big hope I have is EA has been developing this for a couple years already and has given the dev team time to build something solid.

It's completely fair to not trust EA. Their track record of MTX/exclusives/half-baked games is overwhelmingly long. 2K gets the benefit of the doubt at this point. I'm hoping we get 2 really solid games.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this doesn't sound like they also have exclusive deals for the US Open, The Open, and the PGA Championship. I think when they say "exclusively have all four majors," it means they are the only game that can have all four (obviously since they are the only ones that can have Augusta).

I still think there is a chance 2K could also have some or all of the other three majors. That's not to say they would considering their current game doesn't have them.

That's just the title of this thread.

From the article, this is what they actually say:

Quote:

The historic Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club, PGA Championship, U.S. Open Championship, and The Open Championship will be exclusive to the game.

Sorry but how does 2K get the benefit? HB Studios has went down hill since they first started and their career mode is literally unplayable. Lol. I don’t mean, it’s not fun, I mean it literally does not work.

I don’t think they have benefit of the doubt, at all.

Even Rorys career mode Atleast worked.
