Rory McIlroy PGA Tour Update 1.09 Available Now, Here Are the Details

[tc020791]

How are world and fedex rankings for you guys? I started my career day one and I'm in year 6 or 7, I cant remember. But there's a lot of guys in the top 10 who shouldn't be. Though Rory and Speith are both top 5, those are the only 2 normal ones. Day is something like 12. Fowler isn't even in the top 30. My guy is obviously maxed out at this point. I have been number 1 in the rankings and right now I believe I'm 3.

My question is do you think I should start over? I hate seeing all these guys missing from the rankings. Has anyone started a career recently and has a rankings list after atleast 1 or 2 seasons played?

It's kind of ridiculous if you think about it. Ranked matches are 9 holes too...who's idea was that? Why hasn't that been changed yet? A round of golf is 18 holes...

Actually, the original form of golf was 9 holes therefore that is the true way to play

But the reason why it's nine holes is because a lot of people were quitting during 18 hole rounds in the game according to Handsward (EA dev).

It's definitely not nitpicky at all, and it's a very valid complaint. I got this game on day one and have enjoyed it quite a bit for what it is. That being said, I still haven't jumped full into the Career Mode because it's just not very deep. I'll probably get into it more now that there are several more courses in the rotation, but I definitely want more depth as far as Career Mode goes. If they do end up releasing another golf game in the next couple years, I think Career Mode needs to most attention. If they beef it up some and add in a few new courses, the game will be a hit!

I was honestly thinking this game has sold 100,000 copies by the way people talk about it. The fact it has sold nearly 700,000 copies in less than a year bodes well for a future golf title in my opinion. We'll see though. In the meantime, there is plenty to do in this game moving forward!

I was finally able to get a round in at Banff Springs yesterday. The course looks amazing. The mountains, pine trees, water, even the Fairmont Hotel in the background. It all looks great.

Make sure to play it with the time of day set to "Morning", as some of the best visuals come through. The mist above the pond on Hole 4 (The Devil's Cauldron) is almost breathtaking. The sunlight shining through the trees is also a nice touch.

It is a pretty easy course...many of the fairways are generous and wide. The only part that gave me fits was the greens. They were hard to read and were quite challenging when set on Sunday pin placements and Tournament settings.

Even though Banff Springs is an old holdover from the TW and Links series, it's a great addition to current-gen golf. I'd give it a solid 8/10.

I played it in the evening and had a few jaw dropping wow that looks visually awesome moments, I'll have to check it out in the morning now too. Love this course addition, it's gorgeous.

I'll find out soon if they added it to career mode, I'm in year 10 and haven't played in a while but luckily when I fired it up the last place I was at was the tour championship with a fresh season around the corner.

Same reason I do three-click now, cheesy I know but I love that power up animation when you smash one.

It truly is a beautifully rendered course.

I just started a new season as well...looks like Banff Springs hosts the Alberta Open, which is two events before the EA Spring Invitational. Not sure if any other events are played at Banff Springs later in the year.

I haven't really been following this game since its initial release when I played it for maybe 2 hours. I wasn't really that impressed with it. Based on my short time with it I would have rated it maybe a 6/10. A lot of game reviewers gave it a similar score, in fact Metacritc has it at a 6. Considering the initial review scores and all of the patches that have come out, what would you rate it now? What did you initially rate the game? I'm interested in giving the game another look.
