      On the fence ref purchase. Got screwed on nhl15 and this golf seems to be on same channel...

      Been on TGC. They brought out new driving difficulty this week. Makes it very difficult to hit your own fairway. Went -3 on this weeks tour however leader was about -45....

      Sounds like EA should be able to make hitting straight more difficult if TGC could do it.

      I'll wait a week or so for all the impressions to sort themselves out. I'll kick my own azz if I buy another EA dud!

        Trying to figure this out too. But when I select flop, the cursor goes to the top of the ball but when I select punch the cursor goes to the bottom. Seems completely backwards, well, is completely backwards

          This release is very, very similar to the NHL 15 release in terms of removed features.

            It is bass ackwards in the game, I hope they recognize this is counter-intuitive and fix it in a patch!

                I think TGC is the better deal. I feel the challenge level is the same as RM and I find the putting model better. You're guaranteed developer support and have endless course options.

                What your missing is a single player mode, even RM paltry offering is better than TGC and you get no broadcast atmosphere. Frankly the commentator in TGC makes me want to drive nails in my skull.

                From a value standpoint I just feel you get more for a better price than you do with RM. Or you can simply wait a month, RM will be on sale quickly and you'll have a far better idea what level of support EA will offer.

                    Well, considering PGA 15 has less than 10 courses, and The Golf Club has thousands, it's an easy decision. There are amazingly talented designers out there who have made some incredible courses. True art.

It's more like playing a round at your local course by yourself. While Rmpga is definitely overpriced for what you get, I really enjoy the crowd interaction and the pga style presentation of it all. IMO, Rmpga is more of a pro golf experience where TGC is more of a hometown feel. If I could put TGC's overall control into ea's game engine with all the main pga courses and a full blown character creator, I'd never leave home!
                      I think that's pretty accurate for the most part. One thing that The Golf Club does great is the Ghost Rounds that your friends have played. Every night when I fire up the Golf Club, I get messages telling me which of my friends have played, and what they scored. With one click I can "play" against them (shot for shot, against their ghost). It's a great feature, and a great way to explore new courses.

                      Frankly, if EA had just remade TW14 with improved Next-Gen graphics and no load times I'd have paid $100 for it.

                          I do like the fact that on the higher swing difficulty you can SPRAY the ball off the tee. I've all also had a couple of approach shots end up wayward due to me trying to muscle my shots.

                          I might also add that more times than not when my tee shots went bad I found myself in a terrible situation. I've hit the shot limit a couple times already and it was due to my inaccuracy off the tee

                          This game is gonna be a Love/Hate relationship.

                              The more I play the more I am enjoying it.. I have all settings custom to the hardest and with the timing getting better on full swings thanks to the tempo thread here... I am really feeling the golf on the course. The short game requires more finesses in the tempo whereas full swing requires forward flick. Turning manual shot shaping on, also makes it much more difficult to set up and execute your shots. Yes, game is bare bones but presentation and feel wise I have already played this more in one sitting than I was ever able to on TGC which bored me after a little while.


                              I have to agree without the PGA license the golf club even with its abundance of courses
                              was missing something. The commentary was bland ....I have waited for this game and while not fantastic ...is good enough for me to log some serious minutes ....Playing as Jordan Speith is pretty cool ...or as I just did play with 2 controllers and play as two of my favorite golfers When Speith squared off vs Fowler ...pre-ordered so I got TPC Scottsdale
                              Very interested to see what they may add down the line ...As my gaming time is seriously
                              limited ...this game with its Tv presentation , tour players and courses get my tee time

                                ^This. I sense that the demographics on this particular forum are a bit older than other sports games, I for one can't get indignant about the value of $60 in this day and age.

                                People who don't pick this up may be cutting off their nose to spite their face. The the best way to get good support from EA for this game is to support it on our end.
