The Gold Club has plenty of users making real course layouts and they are quite good.

Why so combative? He makes a good point here...buy if you want or don't buy.

Simple.

People will support this game because of the PGA tour association and for the courses they know. Which is fairly sad in my opinion if you are looking for a more sim like golf experience.

The Golf Club has unlimited re-playabaility with the create a course and with the update and $10 DLC coming they are added some other mode options as well. The only think it lacks is a TV style presentation and association with real courses and the PGA Tour. This game isn't trying for that experience so i don't see them going to a tv broadcast style presentation. The costs for getting real courses and PGA Tour licensing isn't an option for them either.

This game will get more support than it deserves and will likely disappoint anyone not looking for an arcade like golf game.....which I always like Hot Shots Golf better for that experience (it sill played fairly realistic ball striking wise, I would think a PS4 version would be in the works).

If you are a big golf guy and don't give The Golf Club a good look it's a shame. I think its the best golf game I have ever played on a console.

I'll be passing on this game for sure.

I think you follow me around just to accuse me of being combative.

Again, here were quotes from my post:

Quote:

Completely agree, I actually don't have a problem with them selling DLC as it's my choice to decide if I want to pay for other courses or not (which I never have).

Quote:

I'm not against DLC in general since it's my choice, but I never felt the base mode really had enough to justify charging extra for courses.

I wasn't combative. I was pointing out that I literally don't think he read my post since I said that several times yet his response to me was "if you don't want to buy it you don't have to." I'm not sure you read my posts either because my point seems to have been missed by you as well.

I read just fine. As for following you around you have over 17,000 posts you likely appear in every thread with that many.

I just find it you seem to be looking for confrontations in the majority of your responses. The last guy was being funny and sarcastic and boom...banhammer. If I'm next so be it (seems harsh though).

If that isn't your intention I'm sorry but it comes off that way.

As you can see I am posting in things I like and I read the entire thread.

Back to the thread.

To the fella asking about the controls of The Golf Club compared to this game. Both use the right stick to swing. The Golf Club doesn't employ buttons to be able to spin the ball etc. It uses an interface where you can set your feet and club to induce low or high shots....draws and fades.....I suck at this part of the game but it is very realistic and usable if you take the time to familiarize and practice with it.

Played The Golf Club but could not get into it like others were able to do so. I hit the same shot every time it seemed. Never really pulled or pushed the ball and always had 100% power. Not to mention that the graphics on X1 are really sub par. I like how the EA games have golfers with different abilities. This gives me a bunch of different ways to play each course. The biggest plus for the golf club is all of the courses, but I always feel like the EA games have plenty of courses. Just my $.02. Looking forward to this EA title.

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 14 with Sim settings is way better than The Golf Club. It's not even close. The diagonal swing and the full analog hit meter made the game challenging.

For me The Golf Club = Hit every Fairway, hit every green and putting sucks. Also no single player modes whatsoever, I want to be on PGA Tour.

I really hope they kept the Sim settings from TW14 in this game...
