Rory McIlroy Replaces Tiger Woods as the Face of the New EA Sports Golf Game

Re: Rory McIlroy Replaces Tiger Woods as the Face of the New EA Sports Golf Game

I must be in the minority here. I actually like the follow cam. After playing the golf club I wish they would use that more. I feel like I'm "guessing" were I'm going to end up rather than actually seeing it mid flight. I'm starting to wonder if those three gameplay styles will be "arcade" "sim" and "broadcast". One can only hope.

Snap to reverse landing cam 2/3 of the way through ballflight, or blimp tracking cam (like on TV). The former was in the old "PGA Tour" games on PC, the latter I've never seen but seems like it's high time for it to hit games.

Also, you really don't have that much guesswork in real golf where you're going to end up after you hit your shot, right? Fixed behind the golfer cam works fine in most cases.

If I were Tiger, I would be stoked to get as far away from this series as possible. It's crazy to think anything golf and PGA related wouldn't have Tiger associated with it, but lets be honest....the game has been on par with NBA Live as major disappointments.

This trailer reminds me when the series first moved to the 360/PS3. I was so excited to get my hands on it, and when I did, its been down hill every since.

I wouldn't go that far has tiger woods 11 was great!

I was tired of the Follow Cam by Tiger Woods 2004 on the XBox and PS2! I just don't care for it as it destroys the immersion for me, but I have no problem with it being there for those who like it... I just want to see a reverse angle camera option, like Perfect Golf offers on the PC.

Preach to me brother! Hate follow cam with a passion, how hard can it be to have snap to landing zone cam? You hit the ball, camera stays behind the golfer for a few seconds then snaps to a camera from the target end tracking the incoming ball, it cannot be that hard!!

Not real excited about the game at all. If it ends up being a better sim game and doesn't have the arcade crap in it then maybe I'll give it a try. These days though it's really hard giving EA any $. I know I'll never pay full price for any.

The golf club is absolutely fantastic, was totally worth the 20 or 30 bucks I paid for it on it's release date. But, if you gotta have the pros and real life courses...then you gotta have EA. I personally enjoy just picking up the sticks in the summer and playing a quick 18 on the golf club whenever I feel like it, I don't get super into the be a pro mode in PGA like I do with NBA 2k and The Show.

This game is gonna have to be pretty phenomenal to get me off The Golf Club. You just know that EA will pull their usual BS and charge extra for DLC courses, etc., which infuriates me to no end. $60 is enough for a yearly installment of any game, I refuse to pay an additional $20-30 for content that has been conveniently left out of the game, then made available immediately upon release.

Golf Club gives me limitless courses and an amazing online experience for $35, and they're still adding FREE updates to the game. I could care less about the PGA license honestly.

while I like having the real courses but the big thing is I always liked the controls in the Tiger woods games and the season modes and such. Dose golf club have similar controllers to tiger games? Do you hit the ball the same way? Is play on the green like it is in tiger games? How dose the game look? Those are the things that I am not sure about if I should get golf club or not. I would love a demo but there is none. I don't play the tiger games that often as I just have so many another games I like to play more often but I did always like the EA golf games a lot.

What are you talking about?

I'm not fan of EA like the next guy but go back through the Tiger games and you'll see how many courses they offered each year. Then in 2014, they offer 20+ in the base game and for those who want more, DLC. It's not like they offered 5 and you had to buy DLC to get the normal amount. You don't have to buy them.

Again, I don't like EA and I actually hate the DLC model the industry is turning to but it's not like they're not offering a good number of courses when there are just as many in there as previous versions of the game that had no DLC (Tiger 05 only had 14 courses).

Why charge for courses at all?

Re: Rory McIlroy Replaces Tiger Woods as the Face of the New EA Sports Golf Game

Why not offer 100 or 300 and continue to do so? It costs time and money.

If they're offering the same number or more than previous titles but also offering additional, that take time to make, and people want to buy them, so what.

You're still getting a $60 title without them so what's the problem?
