Re: Rory McIlroy PGA TOUR Title Update 1.06 Out Now, Adds TPC Stadium Course at PGA W

As for PGA West. Played two rounds on it last night. Looks great. Has some interesting holes to play. It just feels kind of... blah to me. There's not much on it to inspire me to play it again and again.

What I used to love about the old TW series, was I could play courses that were pretty incredible to see, and be able to play in their own right. Courses that are visually stunning... like Augusta... Pebble Beach, Banff Springs for example. I get why they've chosen the courses they have, the licensing of the event sponsor/name, it's place on the career schedule etc, but I just was hoping for some of the more inspiring, and challenging courses that would keep bringing me back.

The more real courses the better, this is definitely not a complaint by any means. Just a wish for more... exciting courses to play.

How many playable courses are there now on this game?

I think this one makes 17, and Oakmont will be #18.

I downloaded the TPC Stadium Course at PGA West last night, and I'm looking forward to giving it a go this evening!

Edit: I still can't believe Pebble Beach didn't make the course list. That course has been in just about every golf game in the last 20 years. Haha. It would look stunning on PS4 too, so hopefully we'll get it for the next one!

I am very happy about quality of the courses, details, realism in Rory McIlroy PGA Tour. The game is still unfinished but I hope all will be there soon... because the rest is very nice !

Has anyone checked to see where it shows up on the Career Mode schedule?

I just started a new tour and it was the first tournament on the PGA tour. I believe the Career Builder Challenege.

This game is beautiful, but not matter how much I try the swing tempo does not feel "natural" to me. The best way for me to describe it is...it too flicky.

This sums it up for me pretty much. I feel like I'm swinging really fast and still getting "slow swing" feedback every time. I'm sure I'll adjust, but it just feels off to me, and I'm desperately trying to overlook it.

Playing this course shows a glaring issue with Rory.

One of the difficulties of this course is finding a flat spot to land your tee ball.

The fairways are very undulating. Rory captures that but not the penal nature of the next shot.

I would knock a drive out there and go oh no, I left myself a sidehill lie.

Then it would make no difference to ball flight or club selection. To such a degree I then just ignored where I hit it off the tee other than hitting it to a safe place in the short grass. But downhill uphill sidehill, none of that matters unlike real life.

IMO, it takes a pretty fair amount of practice as I felt the same way when the game first came out, but now I much closer to mastering the swing than before. Rory's swing is so much more challenging to me than that other game, but I also realize opinions vary.....

"On another note, the team has been working on an unannounced feature, which is scheduled to arrive when the next course is released, possibly even sooner. "

So what was the unannounced feature?

Where did you find this?

Challenging isn't the word I want to describe it as, it's definitely more difficult then the other game, to me it's just the tempo doesn't feel right to me. I feel like there is a pause at the top of the swing that is missing. I don't feel like I'm explain myself properly...you know in real life when you reach the top of your swing and there is that "heart beat' between your backswing and your downswing...that is what I feel is missing.

Also, I wish the slope on your lie affected ball flight more.

Those two things would push this game over the top for me.

I don't know of too many Pros who have ANY pause at the top of the backswing, sorry. I know my IRL swing doesn't either.....

One thing I hate about that "other game" is that the swing has so much lag in it and is not 1:1 and after the "swing gate" has zero tempo whatsoever. No risk/reward either. Painfully easy to hit every shot straight and sidehill lies in that game have little to no impact at all.

Not sure you are hitting too many slopes in RM because it is very pronounced, IMO. Not sure why you aren't seeing this unless it is off in the settings.

Good thing we have choices as I would hate for folks to be stuck playing a game they don't like......

Maybe the lie is off in my settings, I'll look. As for the pause at the top of the swing, I'm not explaining it right. There is that point between the backswing and your down swing, I can't explain it. That moment before you start to uncoil...I don't know, but I don't go from back swing to downswing instantaneously, then again I'm only a 12 handicap in real life so that could explain why the swing feels off. Maybe pros transition between back and down swing more quickly. I'll go back to the point where I said the swing feels too "flicky".

It was in the OS news feed a few weeks ago:

Re: Rory McIlroy PGA TOUR Title Update 1.06 Out Now, Adds TPC Stadium Course at PGA W

What you are describing is not a pause.

What it is, is actually moving in two directions at once.

If you have a good quality swing you began to unwind from the ground up slightly before you finish the backswing.

That is the magic in a golf swing and its an incredibly hard concept to get a learning golfer to understand.

When I teach I try to explain it like pitching in baseball which I also teach.
Batting doesnt work as well because the crossover does not occur the same way kinetically as pitching.

When you watch someone good hit a golf ball that fluidity that is so sexy is the harmonizing movement of the lower firing before the coil back finishes.

You can teach it to yourself by swinging the club horizontally like batting but higher, like shoulder height. Just exaggerate it, swing the club back and then before setting it in the backswing let the knees fire first to lead the swing back the other direction.

Soon it will feel just like cracking a whip. This is why some of those small guys on tour can still bang it out there.

BL8001,

Perfect explanation of what I was trying to explain. Thank you.
