I doubt if you play a career that you'll be asked to golf on battlefield 4 the golf course. Those will most likely be standalone courses that are more for a play now match with some buddies more than any type of real game play. This should still be fully sim.

I actually like the multiple styles of game play in one game anyway. I wish madden and nba live would also contain their "street" versions of games to go along with the normal game too, that would be pretty awesome.

pffft I bet it would be one of the majors.

I really did not like the trailer at all. I feel like they are once again making an arcade style golf game that is going to be as easy as all the others. The fantasy golf course idea is cool, but I want to play authentic courses that feel like the real deal. I've played a couple big courses and know what it feels like, and as a video game I know it can never be the same, some video games do a decent job of portraying real life atmospheres. I do not feel like this game is going to do that at all, but we shall see.

Come on EA. Stick to creating a solid , accurate Golf game & leave the gimmicks for a different game.

I agree. Didn't NHL ship one year with a gimmick 3 on 3 game attached to it. I am fine with that, but honestly not a fan of losing PGA course for fantasy course.

Now if these fantasy courses are DLC and we get a good list of PGA course then I don't care and I am fine with this.

Graphics look nice. However the tone of the trailer just galls the crap out of me. They took a year off for this? WTF does having a ship crash into the shore have to do with the PGA TOUR? I freaking HATE fantasy courses. If this was a technology demo showing off Frostbite 3, I get it. But I was turned off by the trailer as a whole and if this ends up being even more arcade than the previous gen, then this just may be the first EA Golf title I pass on since I starts playing PGA TOUR on the Sega Genesis. What a huge letdown so far.

Good post, Divot.

When I watched this trailer, I was mesmerized by it...right up till the Michael Bay Fantasy Course.

I am not a fan of over-the-top fantasy courses (or fantasy courses in general that are too full-scale miniature golf; "YOU'RE GONNA DIE, CLOWN!!!"). Obviously EA is trying to appeal to....someone else out there and capture a new audience to boost sales. I know this series doesn't print money like Madden and FIFA do, so I can see things from a business perspective but this may not be the right approach.

I loved the direction we were going with Country Clubs; why not figure out ways to continue to grow that aspect of the game, like having a physical representation of the CC in-game that you can build/choose/modify and personalize, along with some CC minigames like long-ball contests and trick shot contests, ala 'Tin Cup'?

Having said all of that, I'm still pumped about playing in a CC again next year for TW, and especially playing on the real courses with licensed gear in full PS4 glory.

As to competition, this is a grand opportunity for The Golf Club to step up and establish themselves before TW comes out next year, and I am looking forward to playing it for its particular strengths and what it offers, especially in terms of course creation and the community aspects.

But man, I loves me some real PGA courses and I hope in the next round of promotions for PGA Tour we get more details on what we want: the PGA aspects, what courses to expect, gameplay changes/improvements, and Country Clubs.

I was intrigued right until the ship, but I have a feeling that was more for showing off the frostbite 3 engine which looks amazing. Really hope this one is not all about the fantasy courses, if so it'll definetly turn the more serious golfers like myself away. Also hoping they put cbs in the game this year. Presentation in a golf game would go a long way.

Just when I thought EA sports couldn't get any worse,they do! Don't call it EA PGA tour golf,when it sounds like it's going to be more of a arcade style game which sounds like Hot Shots Golf! How does EA sports know what fans want and like in sports games! If they truly did,we wouldn't keep getting terrible Madden football over and over year after year! This company ceases to amaze me! Tiger Woods golf wasn't the best in the world,but at least it was close to being a simulation golf game and not the arcade garbage that this game sounds like it's going to be! They probably have another exclusive license with the PGA tour too! I can't believe that the PGA tour would even allowe there name on this garbage of a game! But I guess EA sports paid the PGA tour a gazillion dollars to get an exclusive license with them as well,so the PGA doesn't care! They already got there money! EA sports is ruining sports gaming! It's sad and depressing!
