If anyone wants to compare TGC and this game it's not problem, just create a thread and have a constructive conversation.

I also favor the Tour style, but I need my green grids. I will forgo any putt previews and help from a caddie, but I cannot discern the break from digitized greens.

Saying TGC's putting is amazing and can't be matched serves no purpose.

If one would like to say why they think TGC putting mechanic is superior to this games it's okay as long as you provide details as to why.

That however may be a bit premature being that this game isn't out yet.


And I feel as if I may be misunderstood because I LOVE TGC, it's one of the better golf games I've played and I've created several courses and love doing so.

That game however doesn't need to be brought up in one of these threads unless it's done with a constructive purpose.

I figure so, my man, you know me - I just like to be cautious

I really like what I'm seeing from RM though, has there been any confirmation about the swing styles? Are we going to see authentic swings? I'm so much of a swing enthusiast (because I have obsessed over swing styles IRL), so it'd be awesome to see Hunter Mahan or Zach Johnson with their rotary swings, and then Keegan Bradley or Robert Garrigus (just naming players now) with their own. Granted, those players may not even make it in the game, but I've always wanted EA to approach the golf swing as a separate entity.

Yea for sure. Wasn't worried about you. Just wanted to clarify my earlier statement for everyone because I'm not at all against comparisons when they're used constructively for a purpose.

I'm surprisingly impressed myself.

Wasn't really planning on getting this at all but the first blog impressed me and I'm also interested in authentic swings.

Don't really think we will see them in year one with the new engines but you never know.

Good to see that there is overswing possibility when swinging the club so that you cannot make a full 100% backswing every time. Problem with golf games with fixed full swing which you can make everytime you want to the distance control becomes way too easy.

In good golf simulation the swing or shot itself should be difficult to master, if hitting my 8-iron to exactly 150 yards on every swing is easy then you will see those -15 rounds as regular scores for better players.

TW14 with Simulation settings was great because U always missed your shot atleast by small margin so the result of a shot was unpredictable. I hope the RM PGA is still as challenging and difficult as TW14 and we will not see those crazy scores as in other golf games.

I'm for sure looking forward to the random lies you'll get if you land in the rough, pine needles etc... If I get off line, punish me by even if I hit a good shot on the sticks, there can be a bad outcome. In addition, at I shouldn't be hitting 14/14 fairways in a round in the hardest levels. Hopefully the analog sticks are much more sensitive than before. Also I hope when it rains we get thicker and juicer rough that grabs the ball.


Count me a one who is a little salty that there will be no Masters, but hopefully we get a healthy number of PGA tour courses (TPC River highlands, TPC Louisiana, Torrey Pines, Colonial, Bay Hill, Memorial etc) so we have a nice long season tour. And hopefully at least 1 or 2 of the majors in tour mode too. 😃

Rory's looked pretty spot on. So did Speith's. I can see them having three or four authentic then the rest generic or close enough.
