Re: "Road to the Masters Invitational" Live Stream Tournament Coming April 2
Now it all becomes a lot more clear why there hasn't been any prior gameplay videos released.
They had planned this big event to show it off and to include some of their partners to bring traffic to their respective websites.
Maybe this will help kill the chatter that EA was afraid to show off gameplay. Quite the opposite actually considering the multi-pronged worldwide stream.
...just maybe this game is really something special.Comment

Will be the first look at gameplay, but will also be important to remember that these will probably be on the most casual of settings with power boost and mid-air shot spin. I'm just saying, if you see Justin Beiber up there piping drives down the middle and nailing 50 foot putts, keep in mind what settings their playing on before coming here with your opinions on it.
Still think we'll need to wait for Youtubers and reviewers to get their hands on it to see full sim gameplayComment

This feels bizarre lol. This is how they are debuting actual gameplay. Have all these people played the game already? Plus live commentary. I'm sure it'll be mostly be unserious, with a lot of "the game looks great, it's crazy how graphics have advanced" comments over and over.Comment

It certainly is a bold way to show the first unfiltered gameplay. And it's also a great way to draw more eyes to this event. The marketing play here is smart on their side. Like I said in the past, keep them wanting more.
Well, now they're going to give it to us and drive a fair amount of views by holding back until this point.
I am very interested to see how this plays out on April 2!Orbis Non SuficitComment

Tbh I thought the whole "BIRDIE" popping out of the hole would be enough for Augusta to say "Nah" so maybe they've relaxed their stance on that stuff since?
I am optimistic that them including Augusta will keep the game pretty contained... Was playing Rory yesterday and just had to roll my eyes whenever my golfer would hit the worm after hitting a 250 yard drive directly into the roughComment

Augusta definitely has eased up on things...I know I've mentioned it here before, but that Dude Perfect video with Bryson DeChambeau was about the last thing anyone would expect Augusta allow on their hallowed grounds. So it would not shock me if everything is fair game now.
Other things like the attire they let you wear when playing at ANGC will also be interesting to watch, since they forced you to wear certain clothes at The Masters or when playing any round at Augusta in previous games.Orbis Non SuficitComment

Re: "Road to the Masters Invitational" Live Stream Tournament Coming April 2
So they are catering to the 90% of people who may buy a golf game and not the 10% of us hardcore hypersensitive video golf aficionados? Get me names of the people at EA's marketing department, they are all daft!
Hopefully there will be some nuggets we can all use!Comment
