Okay, I did not play TW14 aside from the demo for a few minutes, so it's been awhile since I really "played" an EA golf game. What I remember was consistently being able to score in the high 50's/low 60's. I tried the other day to find TW14 on the PS Store and XBL, but I had no luck finding the digital versions. I really wanted to play a few rounds of it just to get a taste of EA golf again.

The other thing that bugged me was the putting system, where you could line up your shot & then see an estimation of where the ball would end up. TGC really nailed the feel of putting really well IMO. I hope EA can do something similar.



Competition is fantastic, and I really hope RM turns out to be a great game. More options and competition between devs would be outstanding. I play TGC on the XB1, so yes, RM should have better visuals and a smoother framerate, not that TGC is bad persay, it just took awhile for it to grow on me. After 125 rounds and 275+ hours of gameplay I couldn't be more pleased with my $35 investment.

I haven't played TGC as I'm after a career mode (not the one announced or TGC tours) so I picked up TW14 a couple of weeks back.

I definitely enjoy simulation mode. No shot preview so I need to use the flyby and look down the fairway from the tee, it's tough to hit fairways which I like, no spin control, I use manual strike control also and not sticky with no putting grid which means I have to read the greens myself.

Got its issues of course (minor so far) but it suits me. At the moment, in real life I'm shooting about 79-81 and that's what I'm shooting in game so I feel like I have to improve my own game to qualify for a tour. Enjoyable challenge.

That's just TW14. As I said, have not played TGC so not a comparison post.

Looking good in motion is completely different than looking good in a still shot, which no doubt is enhanced to levels that I certainly wouldn't expect to see in the final product gameplay.

Honestly the game could look spectacular but unless the gameplay physics are realistic (i.e. no post shot spin control, being able to stick every 120 yard approach shot within 3 feet of the cup, unrealistic equipment boosts, a proper putting engine etc) I will stick with TGC, as it offers everything needed in a golf game and as an added bonus isn't made by EA. I have zero belief in EA being able to create a golf game that captures the "feel" of each type of shot, from slightly hooking a driver to getting up & down around the green to save par....all stuff that TGC does pretty darn fantastically.

This!!! It's all I ever hear about nowadays is graphics.
Bring some game play and a true non gimmicky career mode!! Yawn... Never gonna happen tho...

It always surprises me when I see people describe the TW games like this. I mean, I get that you could go full on arcade, but I didn't play with that stuff turned on. I found the game nice and challenging.



I was interested in TGC until i saw it. It is pretty ugly. And user created courses are worth what they cost. I have zero interest in working to find the best courses, only to find my friends settled on different ones.

So how does TGC look and run on the PS4?

It looks good, but it struggles to run some of the premier courses to my satisfaction. I'm surprised at how many courses wind up running at an average of under 30 FPS on the PS4. It's worth $34.95 for sure, but it's a far cry from the "nearing 60 FPS" claim that was made for it back in April... at least on most courses.

By the way man,I believe that MLB The Show 15 has surpassed NBA 2k visually. The best looking sports game so far on next gen consoles,the gold standard,and trust me I think NBA 2k has looked really good on the PS4,but in my opinion it has been replaced.

While I disagree with you on that one. Mlb 15 dose look really good and a big step up form last year and the lighting looks great how ever NBA players faces look much better then MLB faces. MLB 15 players faces still kind of look ps3 like.

Highly doubtful.

uh..........no.

Why wouldn't Tiger Woods be playable in the game? He just announced that he's playing in the Masters... Which is the biggest PGA outing!

My understanding is because Tiger and EA agreed that he would not be in any EA Golf games for the foreseeable future.....

[MHammer113]

I expect to see some screenshots or gameplay for that course in Augusta this week...

Re: Rory McIlroy PGA Tour Screenshot of 15th Tee at TPC Sawgrass

Wow, that looks impressive. Very impressive. Actually looks like next gen golf. Hope it plays that way too.

I want to see some real gameplay shots/footage though. Like, with the golfer on the screen from the prospective we actually get to play the game from.

Re: Rory McIlroy PGA Tour Screenshot of 15th Tee at TPC Sawgrass

Well on Twitter, an EA guy announced that Augusta is not in the game. Then did some damage control by saying they have the ability to add it later as DLC. That's not happening. If Augusta agreed to be in the game, they would want it plastered on the cover and so would EA. EA wouldn't pay big money for the license only to be put in as DLC later when the average gamer wouldn't know or even care by then.

If this game is bare bones like I suspect it will be and EA is relying on shiny new graphics and no out of bounds as thier main selling points, then sales are gonna tank. They should have secured Augusta before they did anything with this game but I suspect Augusta said no because the commentary are Golf Channel guys and not the CBS guys. Augusta is very protective of thier sponsers. They should have just have Nantz and Feherty record a few new lines. No one cares about commentary.

If you need your Augusta fix, keep your copy of TW14 because I doubt we will be seeing it for a long time unless the commentary is overhauled again.

Without Augusta, I've lost a great amount of enthusiasm about this game.
I still play TW 14. But I really want to play Augusta on ps4. With Augusta
National and Tiger out we are in a "Brave New World" that I'm not sure I want any
I want any part of.

Re: Rory McIlroy PGA Tour Screenshot of 15th Tee at TPC Sawgrass

Certainly hurts not having Augusta National, and no course designer to let the user base create it. EA missed the ball here.

Re: Rory McIlroy PGA Tour Screenshot of 15th Tee at TPC Sawgrass

Not big at all I'm my opinion. Give me great graphics, good gameplay and plenty of fantasy courses will more than keep my attention. Not to mention the normal amount of real courses.

On a side note, did anyone really expect Tiger to be in the game?

Re: Rory McIlroy PGA Tour Screenshot of 15th Tee at TPC Sawgrass

Is Tiger going to be in the game?

Highly doubtful.

It's been confirmed a while back actually, once Tiger and EA mutually split ways, they rid his name of the game itself, and they no longer have him in the game.
