Rory McIlroy PGA TOUR Trial Available Now on EA Access, Post Your Impressions

[Boss Rousseau]

What I have done to counter the absurdly easy-ness to strike straight golf shoes is to force myself to hit a slight draw or fade on every shot, other than on close approaches. It can be the slightest draw/fade, just enough so you force the use of the diagonal swing.

This is no help online but makes career more fun.

My apologies to that user and everyone else if that information is confirmed. I do expect EA to add to that sometime soon, but not sure how without updating for next season.....

No need to apologize, I just knew I wasn't crazy. In fact I was hoping you were gonna tell me this is wrong. If not, is there a way to cancel a digital preorder?

I don't know if it's the difference in color palette that xbox uses but the game is way more clear and vibrant on the ps4 in my opinion. That washed out and graininess people were commenting about in the early access version I'm not experiencing on the ps4. I has a little time left on my access version so I switched back and forth a few times to be sure but ya in my opinion the game looks better on ps4.

I'm going to be eventually put in the position of picking between the PS4 and XB1 versions of RMPGAT. I played the XB1 EA version and I'm little disappointed in the graininess and occasional blockiness of the textures. Do you see the same degree of "graininess" (for lack of a better term) in the PS4 version?

I don't have any scientific basis for this, but it looks to me like the XB1 version's native res might be 720p, and if so, I was thinking the PS4 version would likely be 900p. However, when you say 'way more clear and vibrant' on the PS4 version, I'm left to wonder if it might not even be 1080p? It doesn't look like EA Sports is going to be forthcoming on this until after both games are released on Tuesday, but I am very curious about it.

Finally, did you feel any difference in the swing interface between the two? I thought the XB1 version animated reasonably well, but as twitchingly sensitive as the current swing interface is, I'm thinking every additional frame per second one could get above 30 FPS would be a plus.

How is the multilayer? The only thing I hated about last year was that if you miss one birdie and part you pretty much lose the match because it was so easy.

I just pre-ordered both XB1 & PS4 versions of the game. I'm beyond excited to play on both consoles.

Any ideas why there are absolutely ZERO reviews out for this game two days prior to release? There's not a peep out there ....

Good question. Makes you wonder. I paid $19 for Perfect golf, $35 for the Golf Club, both on PC, no way Roy Golf is a $59.00 purchase. I'm really torn because the other two don't have PGA players, which I enjoy using. It's gonna be a stressful next couple of days.

Yes and I also change the default shot to "full" and adjust the distance by my swing (and club choice)alone. judging backswing distance and custom ball height. The game defaults to an automatic distance meter for each swing making a full swing more or less the correct distance. Hitting the x button changes that preset shot to full (unless I am chipping or other custom need).


There used to be an option that you could tell the computer to not set your club or distance for you. This is similar to that since that option is gone.


Is easy to do and adds a natural challenge to setting up and executing shots. It's a little tricky to get the swing dialed in to adjust for ten to twenty yards difference in distance but the result feels much like how my real rounds play out without bending over backward to add difficulty.
