Was there a post or thread about the cameras? Just want to try and see if we will have option to watch ball flight from golfer perspective. Any word on that?

Since I know this won't be a part of an official marketing release, and we already shared the base info on gameplay, I will assume I won't get in trouble for answering this question...

In our Presentation Settings for the game, you have the following camera options:
- Tee to Green Camera: Follow or Pro
- Putting Camera: Follow or Pro

The Follow cam gives you the traditional camera that follows the ball completely through its flight. The Pro camera will watch flight from the perspective of the golfer. In the case of the Tee to Green Camera on Pro, the camera will watch the ball from the golfer and then snap to the ball's landing spot right before it lands. For the putting Camera on Pro, the camera will watch the ball from the golfer the entire time, with no cut to the finish.

The settings are local and will function the way you want in any mode you go into, even online matches, as your presentation doesn't affect your gameplay so it is perfectly fine for 2 users playing each other to have different presentation cams in use.

Hope this helps and is the info you were looking for!

Not sure if you'll see this or not. But will there be a presentation blog before e3? There looks to be some really cool cutscenes and would like to know what is exactly in the game outside of the two new comentators.

OutFreakingStanding! And hopefully, from a reverse angle view of the landing spot? Thanks for stepping in and settling this issue Justin. All I can say at this point now is $old!

You can set the mode to Full Rounds if you like. Quick Rounds is just the default setting for the mode. The key to Quick Rounds is that it is a replacement for the 1, 2 and 3 round options for Tournaments in the mode. We felt those options weren't true to the PGA TOUR experience. We really wanted the authenticity of playing 4 rounds. Things like fighting to make the cut on a Friday, trying to move up the leaderboard on moving day, and the pressure of a final round were all lost with the shorter amount of rounds. Now, with all tournaments being 4 rounds, we can deliver that more authentic PGA TOUR experience.

That being said, most users don't want to play 4 full rounds (our telemetry showed that about 75% of users would play 1 round tournaments in prior career modes, 22% would play 4 rounds, and the other 3% would select 2 or 3 rounds). Quick Rounds still allows those users to progress through tournaments as fast as they used to with the 1 round setting(well, much faster with no hole to hole loads).

Speaking of no hole to hole loads, can you divulge info on how that's going to be portrayed? Is it going to be just a blackout screen then next hole; or is there going to be a "cutscene" with the golfers abbreviatedly walking to the next tee, or what?

I second that notion
