Do people not realize tw14 had a broadcast camera?

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

The follow cam is the worst thing to happen to golf games. It indicates a fundamental misunderstanding of the game of golf. Golf at a high level is about the course. The course is the story. Not the golfer and not the ball. Making the ball literally the center of focus does nothing but rips me out of the game.

I couldn't agree more, very well said.

I don't recall exactly, but weren't there other camera options in Tiger Woods?

screenshots look nice

however I absolutely HATE they have TPC Scottsdale as a pre order bonus. Why take a course that has been in the game and a favorite for as long as i can remember and make it a DLC pretty much

Thats EA for you, surprised it wasnt Pebble Beach

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

I actually really liked TW14 a ton. I thought it was a great game.

But The Golf Club is my new all-time favorite golf game. A real Home Run, a Hole-in-One, and a Touchdown all wrapped up in a video game.

mmm while TW 11 was the last one I had and I just don't know about golf club because I don't know what the controls are like compared to tiger.

IMO golf club is incredible and still getting better, controls are simple, nothing crazy, it's all up to the course designer, on how difficult or easy the game plays.

They posted a sample on the presentation page of the commentary and it sounds fantastic.

Tiger's gotta be pissed.

I'm happy to have real courses to play on. Wish the golf club had some.

I'm going to pre order to get the free course....what's the risk really....If it stinks it's 50 bucks....not like it's a major purchase here...It's slightly more than a tank of gas....the way some people carry on you would think they charge 10 grand for it.

The Gold Club has plenty of users making real course layouts and they are quite good.

I don't think you read a word I wrote because I literally said exactly that several times.

Why so combative? He makes a good point here...buy if you want or don't buy.

Simple.

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

People will support this game because of the PGA tour association and for the courses they know. Which is fairly sad in my opinion if you are looking for a more sim like golf experience.

The Golf Club has unlimited re-playabaility with the create a course and with the update and $10 DLC coming they are added some other mode options as well. The only think it lacks is a TV style presentation and association with real courses and the PGA Tour. This game isn't trying for that experience so i don't see them going to a tv broadcast style presentation. The costs for getting real courses and PGA Tour licensing isn't an option for them either.

This game will get more support than it deserves and will likely disappoint anyone not looking for an arcade like golf game.....which I always like Hot Shots Golf better for that experience (it sill played fairly realistic ball striking wise, I would think a PS4 version would be in the works).

If you are a big golf guy and don't give The Golf Club a good look it's a shame. I think its the best golf game I have ever played on a console.

I'll be passing on this game for sure.
