EA Sports PGA TOUR to Exclusively Have All Four Majors

[The Kid 24]

No big loss on Tiger, his career is probably over anyway.

I would much rather have DJ, JT, Bryson, etc... The big names in this game.

And it sounds like DJ is in! Great add! Love DJ!

I'm not even a pre-order guy, and even I probably will.

Just the thought of Frostbite Next-Gen Augusta and Pebble .... it's just a must have on those merits alone (for me anyhow)

I guess I need to figure out what console path I'm going to go down.

The PS5 may have an edge if they incorporate/use controller haptics in this game. There are a ton of cool possibilities for that in a golf game.

I've been a PS guys since the very start so I'm guessing I'll remain one.

MSFS on XB has tempted me, but they aren't going to do VR (which I ultimately want for MSFS), so I'm likely going to stick to PC's for MSFS.

I think, in general, this might ring true. There's a lot of normal, not necessarily "unique" swings on tour currently that casual players might not bat an eye to if their swings are all the same.

If you're going to have players like Bubba Watson, Matthew Wolff, Bryson DeChambeau, etc., you're going to have to have mo-capped swings. Would be rather odd to see Matthew Wolff without the leg flare/over the top swing.

You're also going to run into unique swings with legend/classic players like Arnold Palmer, Nicklaus, Lee Trevino, and others.

Well in the last game, they already had Rory, DJ, Spieth, Jimenez, Mahan, Fowler, Kaymer and some more I can't remember. Probably Bradley and Poulter? I can see them adding a big hitter like Koepka, not sure if DeChambeau is exclusive to 2K.

Since I'm sure this game is going to be re-using assets/work invested from Rory where possible, I'd imagine they have a bunch of pros already re-licensed and Mo-capped from before.

The raw mo-cap work I'd bet can be reused and reimplemented here.

This is all part of why I wanted EA back in this space. When properly incentivized, they have the budget and resources and know how to "go big"

We may also see the young up and comer lefty from Texas named Thomas Justin.

Shame we probably won't see "Lion Irons" though

Mostly a casual golf gamer here. Waiting for actual gameplay before getting too excited. EA hasn't done much gameplay wise, imo, with a certain football game & the big exclusive license that goes with it.
