EA Sports PGA Tour 15 - any news?

[BLB34]

My understanding is that this game is still scheduled to be released in the spring, most likely prior to The Masters (assuming they are retaining the Augusta National license). Shouldn't we have heard more details by now? I haven't seen anything since the awful battleship trailer was released months ago.


Like most, I've moved on to The Golf Club but I'm still eager to see what EA has done with the franchise.

Usually around January we start to see stuff. At least that was the way it was for the tiger series.

Re: EA Sports PGA Tour 15 - any news?

I thought we'd have seen more by now simply because they've teased some of the next gen shots of this game already. It actually makes me a bit nervous for this title that we haven't seen anything yet. I know release is still a ways away, but given what happened with the long development cycle for NHL 15 next gen, it just makes me a bit concerned. Thought we would have seen something else by now.

I know alot have been turned off by the battlefield themed fantasy course, and because of The Golf Club (which I'm presently using to scratch my itch for digital Golf), but I'm still interested to see what this game offers.

Hopefully we start to see some stuff soon on this one.

Re: EA Sports PGA Tour 15 - any news?

It seems in years past we used to get some tidbits, if not much official info, several months prior to release. I recall some of the folks on this board participating in the annual community day with EA. Doesn't sound like that's the case anymore.

Have not heard much news on this. I really enjoy playing the real courses but it is really going to be hard for this series to beat out the Golf Club. Hopefully they pull out some surprise's with the next gen release.

If they were smart, they'd be taking a look at alot of the things the Golf Club does well, and be trying to replicate them to make their game better. I mean, that's what competition is for right?

I've never had a major issue with this series, I've always enjoyed it, i enjoy the golf club too, but I miss playing on real courses, with real golfers at times.

I do think EA needs to strongly consider adding a course maker though. That's one huge thing about the Golf Club that I really love. I know it flies in the opposite direction of what EA is shooting for with this series (real golfers, "real golf", real courses/environments) but it really does make the social aspect of the game much more enjoyable. That, and options, options, options. If someone wants to play PGA Tour with everything disabled similar to TGC, then let them, if they want things turned on, then let them. If they want crazy spin and power boosts, let them, but in the end, just give the player the option. They just might find people coming back to the series without having to add a battlefield themed course, and actually thinking that helps..

Re: EA Sports PGA Tour 15 - any news?

I'm not a big fan of fantasy courses, but the Battlefield Course will probably bring in quite a few casual golf fans and probably even people who don't usually play golf games.

When the last Tiger Woods game was released, they were trying to secure more and more licenses for the real PGA Tour courses. I hope they've continued to go that route especially since they won't be paying Tiger a bunch of money every year. With every new EA Sports golf game, I hope for more and more PGA Tour golfers and courses in the game. That's my main interest, and it's the reason I haven't played The Golf Club. I'm happy TGC has had some success, but my interests are in other areas.

I'm looking forward hearing more news, and I imagine we'll get some after the first of the year. EA Sports has their focus on a lot of other games right now, but this one will get plenty of attention in early 2015. A little trailer with a release date would make me pretty happy though, lol.

Well said Brandon27. I would love the series if I could have those options. I remember being so excited to play The Masters and then they had the damn caddie thing that took all of,the challenge out of putting.

That's the difference between why the Show is a great game, and Madden sucks (strictly ignoring the point that gameplay for the Show is solid enough and Madden's gameplay sucks....), the point is that Madden changes things and this and that but force the player to play with those changes. The Show changes things if need be, but leaves the options to continue to use the prior things. If the new PGA Tour direction follows the Show's way of doing things, then that would be awesome.

Re: EA Sports PGA Tour 15 - any news?

Shouldn't we be hearing some news about this game by now? Getting closer to it's launch no?

I was just thinking that when I came to OS today. Where's the news?

I haven't seen ANYTHING about this game since that video they released last year (E3?).

I know EA likes to wait on info about its sports games, but this is pretty ridiculous and not looking good for the title.

Re: EA Sports PGA Tour 15 - any news?

I read somewhere it may be shown on display at the "PGA merchandise show" in Florida this week Jan. 21-23. Not sure if it will for sure though, just thought i would pass along the info.

Re: EA Sports PGA Tour 15 - any news?

Usually end of January or beginning of February we hear something. Probably will be released a week or two before the masters if Augusta is still in the game.

I've been following the merchandise show for years and this year is no different. Haven't see anything on the various golf forums and websites I visit regarding the game.

I'm not panicking or anything, I'm just getting anxious because I know it's release is near. I want to see what they've done with all this extra time they've had.

Re: EA Sports PGA Tour 15 - any news?

Newegg.com shows the release for Xbox One and PS4 as 6/30/2015. I hope that is not correct but based on how much information we have seen it sounds like a real posibility.
