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

On the 15th at St. Andrews, final round, I'm behind the leader by 2 and making a good charge. I put my drive into the deep rough, which left me staring down a 47 foot putt for par. I really needed to nail it to stand a chance. I took my time lining it up, as there was quite a big mound between my ball and the hole. Finally get the courage to hit the putt, it came off the face perfectly and was dialed in on the hole. Crowd starts roaring as the ball follows it's path, my heart is racing and........it stops right on the edge. The crowd lets out the biggest gasp and then it's crickets. Guess I'll have to wait until next season, St. Andrews.

It's these kind of moments that have me glued to the game. On my drives, I've been flicking the stick hard and then letting go on my forward swing and it's really helped to lower the FIR numbers. I probably shoot 1 to 3 off fairway drives a round, which is making it more realistic.

The more I read about what people are doing in this game to make it enjoyable to them, the more I'm starting to think of it as Rory McIlroy House Rules Golf

Seriously though, I'm looking forward to a day soon where an update or two fixes some of the common criticisms of the game in its current state. I still think there's a foundation for a good golf game here...

Fair enough....but IMO, it beats the hell out of The Golf "One Difficulty Only" Club.....

Does a game with no ai require a difficulty? Either you can or you can't.

I really want to try this game but the lack of courses and limited depth of career concerns me. I love the golf club but it's very limited aside from the infinite amount of courses. I like the idea of building a character and the beautiful presentation ea offers but I must try it on course first. Wish there was a demo on psn

Are you aware they put in harder/hardest driver difficulties in the last patch for The Golf Club? Much harder to hit fairways on the hardest driving mode than any EA golf game in my experience.

This is what was meant by "Golf Without Limits". Or on Facebook there is an ad to like that says "Golf Your Way"

Hitting ways isn't then hallege itd generating and guessing the distance you may actually hit it. It's highly inconsistent. It's also not much entertainment watching drives go 230 yards in no wind conditions. This updated mechanic really ruins the short game.

This latest fix is game breaking imo

LOL.... I get your drift! It doesn't beat the hell of it for me at this point though. In fact, it still falls short of The Golf ODO Club for what I'm looking for out of a golf game. I'm not sure I can truly define what it is I like about The Golf Club more, but it just feels and plays like a more fluid, coordinated game to me. Plus, I'm just a slightly better than average golf gamer, so the one difficulty TGC has is more closely suited to my game, although I'll admit it's too easy to hit the ball straight.

I don't want anyone to think that I'm belittling RMPGAT because people are using house rules to play it... heck, I play and enjoy Tiger Woods PGA 10 to the degree I do because of some pretty drastic and technical house rules; more so than anything I've seen in anyone's RM house rules so far. The problem with house rules though is they usually make for an inequitable and/or unenforceable experience in online multiplayer matches and tournaments. If there was a set of house rules I could put into effect for RMPGAT that I thought would work for me right now, I'd own the game. I just know from my experience with the Early Access version that I couldn't find that point.

RMPGAT is nowhere near the game right now that I think it will be as little as three months from now. At some point sooner than that, I think there will be an option to turn the swing meter off and the new swing difficulty options might get it closer to what I'm after.

TGC is THE most simplistic Golf game I have EVER played. What it does, it does well, but for the above average to Elite Golf video game user, it is like playing on rails to me. I know others feel differently and that is great! Right now, with my current settings, RM is giving me one helluva PGA TOUR Golf experience and challenge. Fans can and are crucifying RM and rightly so in well known areas, but when it comes to gameplay, RM has TGC beat in every single area, IMO. Ain't it great we have choices? Can't wait to see what HANDSWARD has cooked up for TOUR mode......

Try playing TGC with zero aids and tell me how easy it is.

No green grid, no cam zoom, no wind indicator , no auto club selection. Etc.

I have played that way and actually played RGT a few tournaments. RM is a better and more realistic challenge. You don't have to like that opinion, but it is mine. If you disagree, c'est la vie.
