Re: Rory McIlroy PGA TOUR Available Today - Post Your Impressions Here

is the ball loft really backwards like some are reporting? ie when you want higher trajectory you put the cursor on the ball higher?

I have a feeling it is that way for people who do not know how golf works... they would be completely confused by striking lower to make the ball go higher and vice versa. this way it tells you if ball will fly higher or lower rather than where impact will be


...but... I'm sure it was correct in past versions, so maybe a glitch?



But I'd say more of a fool-proof design, which drives me nuts.

Re: Rory McIlroy PGA TOUR Available Today - Post Your Impressions Here

Well thank God I'm terrible at this game, lol, didn't do so hot in the prologue.

Not keen on the sound of the clubs hitting the ball. And is it me or does the cup look like a damn basketball hoop? It seems huge!

Anyway I'm on PS4, installed, says game is up to date but for some reason I can only "Play Now " or the prologue again... I have nothing in my downloads... Anybody seen this? I saw it talked about with the early access on x1, but this is the physical copy of ps4.

Thanks in advance

Edit: I had to delete the game and reinstall. Looks like 100mb update now, hopefully that's it.

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

Well said. The game does need significant work but nothing that cant be patched or DLC.

- the cannon putter and celebrations need to stop
- more courses
- immersive schedule and money
- more emotion added to winning or the intensity of the moment
- dynamic weather and times
- course conditions broken down by greens and fairways. Noticed Chambers plays awful soft compared to a month ago

The trajectory is what you're modifying with the R stick. It would be better if they didn't make it look like a ball, honestly. If they just made it a bunch of arrows on a graph or something, but yeah---up=loft, down=lower trajectory.

It's completely opposite of where you'd strike a ball, but it's not signifying that. It's indicating where you want the flight to go, so up/left means a high/draw shot.

From HANDSWARD on the EA RM forums:

For those of you that are only seeing 2 menu options in the game, it is because the game has not completed the install and you are in the pre-installed version of the game that has limited features. I know this can be frustrating on PS4 because there is no progress bar of any sort to show you how it is doing and if you go to your storage it is going to say the full size of the game there cause that is what it says as soon as it starts installing. So here are a few things you should keep in mind:

- The game takes ~40 to 60 minutes to install while nothing is running on the console.
- If you suspend or shut down your console the install will stop.
- If you are playing the game or using other applications while the install is taking place then your install can be greatly slowed down.
- If you are downloading the game then the process will be even longer cause you have to download all 29 GB and install it all too.
- Make sure you have enough HD space to fit the game on your HD.

My best advice is to let the game install and leave your console running at the consoles menu. Go away, let it be, come back in an hour and boot the game up.

If you are still having issues having done all of this then please contact EA Customer Support for further assistance.

Correct. IRL Golf, you strike down on the ball and compress it to get height....it is almost the opposite in Golf games....

What kind of convoluted 1984 Double-Speak is this??? What is this, Opposite Day??

Here's the truth: If you keep paying for crap, they'll have NO incentive to fix it!

The the best way to get good support from EA for this game is to support it on our end.

Is there really no option to view a replay of your shot in the game?

Not fair to say someones opinion is convoluted just because you don't agree. If nobody paid for it, they may give up altogether and we'd get nothing. I understand that people are upset by EA (everyone knows the hockey blunder) but, imo, it was better to have some hockey than none at all, so i bought it. Now they are bringing back the mode in NHL that made me love it so much so there is some redemption.

If you dont think RMPGA is worth 60 bucks then don't buy it, but you shouldn't act condescending to others that dont agree with you.

Get it back to impressions of the game please.

Re: Rory McIlroy PGA TOUR Available Today - Post Your Impressions Here

While this game has potential, it is not good.

Aside from the lack of content that everyone mentioned, here are my issues with gameplay:
-I can't see the ball using the pro camera. I went back to TW12 and the True Aim camera is awesome. It zooms toward the ball as it's in flight and makes me feel like I hit a golf ball
-It's way too easy to hit the ball straight.
-Putting feel is awful and the green meter is a big distraction. I feel like I'm playing a game of "don't let the circle turn red", not golf
-The golfer post shot animations are terrible and unrealistic

Also, I'm not sure I see the benefit of having the entire course loaded at once. My rounds aren't any quicker and I can't hit it far enough off line to be in a position to play the ball from another fairway. Wouldn't it be better to load one hole at a time and provide better graphics on each hole?

I waited a long time for this game, but I won't be holding my breath for EA to patch this mess into a legitimate next-gen game.

I'm so disappointed that I went and bought TW13 for x360 since I didn't spend much time with that game.

Sorry but I can't find it, I know I read it somewhere but can't locate it.

How do we turn off quick play when we start our Pro?

It's in a weird spot. Click the second tab from your pro's main menu. It's called career history. Once in there, look down at the bottom right and you will see Round Type. Change it from quick to full.

Re: Rory McIlroy PGA TOUR Available Today - Post Your Impressions Here

For those that are saying it's too easy, are you playing with a Pro or a low attribute created character? I'm not the best golfer out there but I've played a bunch over the years and I find some rounds to be quite tricky. I went from one tournament where I was in contention for the win, finishing in second, only to miss the cut at TPC Boston because the wind was averaging 9 mph and I mis hit a couple drives. To hear all these people say its too easy is making me wonder what i'm doing wrong :P
