Re: Rory McIlroy PGA TOUR Trailer - Golf Without Limits
I think everyone gets that. I think the disagreement is surrounding whether that can be effectively executed or not...
Did you ever go to one of those "pan-Asian" restaurants, that have like sushi, chinese food, thai curry, etc. all in one place? While it's all sort of generally acceptable in a lowest-common-denominator kind of way, if you're a real chinese food afficiando or a hard-core sushi connoisseur, you probably aren't going to go to that restaurant. The reason is simple: they don't do any 1 thing particularly well, and if you're really in the mood for top-flight sushi, are you going to "generic pan-Asian restaurant", or are you going to "Masa"?Comment

Re: Rory McIlroy PGA TOUR Trailer - Golf Without Limits
I'm interested in the fantasy courses to a point. I'm more annoyed on how they have been marketing this game, which has been horrible imo. It seems they are confused on what this game is supposed to be, a real licensed PGA tour game or a fantasy game like hot shots golf. Honestly if I saw that ad on TV for the first time and knew nothing else on what was in the game, I would've thougt it was a hot shots sequel, but with the PGA tour license.Comment

I still think I am going to give this game a go but the fantasy stuff wears me out.DSM Transfer.

Re: Rory McIlroy PGA TOUR Trailer - Golf Without Limits
Absolutely. I remember that Japan like course. Was it Emerald Dragon maybe? I do agree though, if you're going to give me a fantasy course, at least make it seem like it could be an actual real golf course somewhere. I'm ok with it if it's not real, but I don't want to golf on, or around a battleship either, unless it's mini-golf.
I get the appeal from the EA side though. The amount they invest in this game for licensing of real courses, to build the exact, right down to every hill etc. Then license equipment, brands, etc. etc. It's not cheap. I imagine it's a pretty niche market for golf games. It doesnt seem like it to most of us I bet, because we're all sports gamers here for the most part. To the regular average gamer though, authentic golf doesn't appeal. The authentic side is there to the game, with real courses, and golfers etc to cater to us, but the fun side is there to try and attract other people in. I ge tthe strategy, I can't fault them for it either.
Long story short, I agree. I'm quite alright with fantasy courses. Just make it seem like they could be realistic.Miami Dolphins - Detroit Red Wings - Toronto Blue Jays - Michigan Wolverines - CANADAComment

Re: Rory McIlroy PGA TOUR Trailer - Golf Without Limits
As long as we can play a realistic game via settings , at this point I could care less about the fantasy stuff. It's there for those that want it and it does seen like a fun distraction.
As far as the comment that the "other game" is full of fantasy courses.. yes that's true but also with the capability of creating courses like Augusta etc...
Both games have their good and bad and franky any sport that I have options as far as buying I'm all for.
That's what irks me about NFL... I never once bought 1 over the other as I purchased all games. So having the competition , at least from my wallet, never hurt sales of anyone.Joshua:

Re: Rory McIlroy PGA TOUR Trailer - Golf Without Limits
I'm looking forward to the fantasy courses, to be honest. I do consider myself to be a serious golfer, but I've always enjoyed playing the Tiger Woods games with my friends, and it looks like this will bring the same entertainment value.Comment

Re: Rory McIlroy PGA TOUR Trailer - Golf Without Limits
It's just like with Madden really, as far as marketing goes - the flash goes in the trailers and the actual gameplay stuff in blogs and other text articles.
I get what they're doing - It really is the same thing they try to do with Madden in terms of getting the attention of both the casual and hardcore. The only problem with that is that for golf being what it is, I don't think there's enough of the casual element that is interested at all in the sport, and not enough of them will buy it to make that focus worthwhile.
I think the focus is in the wrong place, and that the game gets watered down because EA is trying to cater to everyone. That said...well, I played Wicked 18 way back in the day and my favorite golf series involves anime characters and blue flaming backspin shots, so it's not like I can't enjoy a good fantasy course. But I can understand why that kind of stuff is a huge turnoff to those who want a 100% realistic game.Comment

Re: Rory McIlroy PGA TOUR Trailer - Golf Without Limits
Does anyone know any more about the Season/Career mode? This has always been my main interest in the game but I'm not sure how we are going to have a full season with Majors on only 9 courses (11 if include the fantasy)! We already don't have qualifying for the Masters to look forward to, do you think that the other 3 Majors will be played on the same course every year?
Fed-Ex cup will be finished in only 11 events so I assume there is no playoffs? I've always enjoyed playing on the real PGA Tour courses with real sponsored events but looks like Career mode might not really be worth playing this year
What do you guys think?

Re: Rory McIlroy PGA TOUR Trailer - Golf Without Limits
It's pretty easy to figure out really. The answer is... Everyone.
They think with the PGA license, they will attract the real golf fans who want to play with real golfers, on authentic courses, with real equipment and apparel.
They also know, that golf games have a pretty small market. So when you're paying all sorts of money to license golfers, equipment, apparel, the PGA tour itself, the FedexCup (assuming reference to it is still in the game), all of the courses (and to go out and measure them all up with the laser equipment and stuff they used to get them as close to identical as possible). That being said, they also create a side section of the game to appeal to the less serious crowd, who's just looking for an entertaining type of game as well. Hence the fantasy courses, the night glow golf stuff, etc, etc. It just helps the game appeal to a much larger audience, likely in an attempt to boost the sales to a group of people who would have likely never bought.Miami Dolphins - Detroit Red Wings - Toronto Blue Jays - Michigan Wolverines - CANADAComment

Re: Rory McIlroy PGA TOUR Trailer - Golf Without Limits
I guess I would be considered one of the casuals seeing as I have no real interest in golf whatsoever. You know what caught my attention. The magnificent, extremely realistic lighting and the golf ball dropping in the water. Graphically it looks very nice, very enticing.
... But then seeing bright lights at night, someone in a military uniform, the massive ship, and granny swinging her golf clubs, I was like forget this. No way.Comment
