Seriously, no TIGER WOODS in this game? I don't care if he's a shell of his former self, I want to play as Tiger Woods dangit.

This was confirmed in March when they announced Rory as the new cover guy. They severed ties with Tiger.

My guess is that there is a small rotation of course s for career mode. Maybe you play two courses with some form of a slight change the setup etc.

It has been confirmed on RM EA Sports PGA Tour's official twitter page that "FREE post launch updates" will include golfers and courses. According to Chris from OS some courses could actually be added and or subtracted because it has been confirmed that this will not be a yearly release. That means there will probably be a ton of free course and golfer updates throughout the next year or until the next game is made

One thing I noticed on the gameplay videos is the leaderboard had a lot of names that are real golfers that are not listed in the 12 golfers that will be in the game. Since most of us use our own created golfer anyway, I figure as long as the leaderboard looks like the real thing, I could care less which golfers I can actually play with.

Just my two cents.

This is true, but one thing that sort of bothers me about the way it's done is that the names on the screen seem to represent variables on a bell curve spreadsheet. The scores always seem to follow a familiar pattern that makes the overall feel of the leaderboard a bit sterile. I wish that the game could play out the rounds, hole-by-hole, based on a statistical and probability model for each given player (off-screen and in the background, mind you), but I imagine that would take a lot of processing power that would be needed just for displaying the current action on the screen.

I always thought it would be cool if you could play with: A.) The closest licensed player included with the game to you on the leaderboard in career mode play, or B.) the "ghost" ball (the ball and shot telemetry) of a non-licensed player in career mode play. I suggested both to EA Sports and they said they'd look into A, and B is something they wouldn't want to hazard because even playing against a ghost ball of a non-licensed player, even though you don't see the player, might be construed to be an unauthorized "likeness" of the non-licensed player.

He might be referring to this Tweet from EASPORTSGOLF yesterday:

It's a pretty open-ended comment and I'm not sure what one could actually derive in terms of specific DLC from it. People try to pin him down in follow-up, but there's no further comment.

Re: Rory McIlroy PGA Tour Course and Golfer List

I could see golfers being free, they could do a lot with that. Like having polls to see what ones they want next etc. Courses I doubt will be free maybe $5 for a pack of four every few months, that would be resonable I think.

Yep when that was posted on here I said it's probably just going to be golfers.

The Season Mode is what I'm most curious about. A 9/10 course season? After all the courses on Last Gen I'm just baffled at the short list of courses on release day.

Just think as to why they have a short list of courses... Which is most likely due to EA designing their new golf IP with a new engine with FrostBite.

then they should have waited before releasing the game

They've already waited over two years, gotta get started sometime.

I can't tell if this is unexpectedly the funniest thing I've seen on these boards in years, or if you're serious...but either way, I'm 100% confident you're the only person on earth crossing his fingers for Mark McCumber to be in the game (including Mark McCumber himself).

Re: Rory McIlroy PGA Tour Course and Golfer List

I'm frustrated too, but this may be a tad extreme! Based on E3 feedback etc., it sounds like most of the EA "sport" games (FIFA, Madden, NHL, Live) have actually made noted improvements (many "community" driven!). And, I feel like a 10yr old because I absolutely cannot wait for EA's, Star Wars: Battlefront!!!

All that said, I do hear you! I will not give this particular golf game a pass either. This is a pretty significant fail. To have 2-3 years development time, and to release a golf game with under 10 courses?!? Seriously? (Foreshadowing): And then to have the audacity to charge for "extra" material? C'mon! It is straight up disrespectful to look at a consumer that way, and to me that cannot be contended. That is straight up dirty and not right!

Changing subject - i didn't buy it, but didn't Project Cars ship with like 100-200 unique tracks or something?

There are 13 total courses (real and fictional), and free DLC on top of that. I preordered today for 44.49 on Amazon since I have prime.

I'm content. The graphics and the gameplay look great.
