EA Sports PGA Tour New Update File 4/2 ver. 1.000.020

[golfnut67]

Not sure what this is yet, it popped up unexpectedly early this morning (4/2). 8.4GB. Downloading it now.

If I've jumped in here inappropriately by starting a new thread too soon, just delete this one and proceed as usual. Really curious what this might contain. I'm guessing at least the Augusta Par 3 course.

Mine has just downloaded and fired it up

Quick Look reveals the following:

New Pro Pass - pretty standard stuff, not much screaming out
New 2024 Clubs in the Shop - spotted the TaylorMade QI10

But the BIGGEST thing - Pinehurst No 2, Valhalla and Royal Troon are now all in the game! Nice stealth drop EA!

I've just starting poking around in the game, the Augusta Par 3 is definitely in here, but the only place I can find it so far is the very last course selection in Quick Play.

I haven't noticed anything else new from the update yet.

Whoa! Where did you see those? In Career Mode? Nice.

I'm playing the Augusta Par 3 course against AI Scheffler at the moment.

Not in Career mode - just the Play Now menu - think you'll probably have to start a new career for them to appear, based on MrArlingtonBeach's comments yesterday on the other thread. Yet to see that confirmed though

Jack Nicklaus has been added to the Pro Players list!

Missed that - there's a whole lot of his old clubs and clothing in the Pro Pass too

That's pretty cool, that he's in the game and his clubs are there. I almost exclusively play online Match and Foursome play, but this is a pretty impressive update, mainly because of Pinehurst No. 2, Valhalla and Royal Troon. It's going to be fun playing those courses in any game mode, and I assume they will show up randomly in online play as well.

Definitely more than I was expecting from EA in advance of the Masters. This game is not quite the Dead Parrot I thought it was. Hopefully there's gameplay tweaks in this as well, or coming soon.
