Rory McIlroy Replaces Tiger Woods as the Face of the New EA Sports Golf Game

All I want is to be able to choose a current pro and play a full PGA season. Every other sports game you can choose you favorite team and play either a season or career (franchise). Why not in PGA Tour? How fun would Madden be if you could only create a fictional team?

I'll follow the news and hope there is a much improved career mode. I'm really itching to play a current golf game career mode. I love what Perfect Golf is doing, but with no career mode, it's hard to find an incentive to play and stay interested. Just know it is going to be a long while before that comes, if it comes at all.

Seems the Golf Club's upcoming career mode is more of an online competition mode instead of the regular type of career mode I am interested in, so this game could be my last hope for a while, ha ha.

Just want a mode that I can play on my time that represents everything about the pga tour. Based on past games, I am not hopeful, but hoping the two year break has helped, although I know they have a small team.

100% agree. Anyone ever raise this question to the developers?

The follow cam is the worst thing to happen to golf games. It indicates a fundamental misunderstanding of the game of golf. Golf at a high level is about the course. The course is the story. Not the golfer and not the ball. Making the ball literally the center of focus does nothing but rips me out of the game.

Well said CL.

I couldn't agree more, very well said.

I don't recall exactly, but weren't there other camera options in Tiger Woods?

The biggest part of this announcement for me is that they dropped the number. They could be setting this up as a semi-regular, non-annual franchise like Fight Night used to be (or like EA UFC could be, depending on their plans). That would be for the better.
