Rory McIlroy PGA TOUR Trailer and Blog - Night Club Challenge

You all realize this is just an extra mode and you don't have to every play it right

Not getting the uproar, honestly. Like has been stated by a few, things like this have been in the game in the past and can be skipped over rather easily. It's not for us on here on these boards. I won't play it and I imagine no one "hardcore" will. There's a whole other mode in the game made for guys like me and others on this board.

This mode doesn't kill the sim factor of this game any more than the crib did in NFL 2K, Blacktop in NBA 2K or the Party Mode in the NHL 2K series. I think people are so starved for info, we're living on the extremes of rationality.

This exact discussion was had just a few posts ago.

You can disagree with me and that's fine but I'm not going to copy and paste my last post.

I don't pretend to speak for others here, but I think the "uproar" is the fact that the first thing we see out of E3 on this game is a nonsensical arcade feature that has NOTHING to do with PGA TOUR Golf. We still do not know how the "golf" portion of the game will play. The marketing of this game is the most bizarre thing I have seen in 25 years of video gaming personally. This is the first EA Sports Golf game that I am actually debating on whether to get or not. And I have played every one since PGA TOUR for Sega Genesis in 1992.....

I know for a fact that there are completely separate teams that work on that mode in Madden so it sacrifices no resources to other area's of the game. I don't think it's a poor assumption to make that this dev team is DRASTICALLY smaller than Madden's so the opportunity cost for adding a mode like this is drastically different and much more of a hindrance than Madden adding MUT. It miffs me because I actual enjoyed most of the training drills in the past, I think as of now we can assume they are still there but seeing this makes that not a guarantee. Most concerning though, and why people are so mad about this, is it shows a strange direction for the franchise, and not one that you will get much support on here.

Absolutely. I get all of that. I'm not so worried about the direction though. They have the PGA license still. I dont think they would be coughing up cash for that just to make an arcade style game like this mode.

I don't like that they took focus away from designing another real PGA course or two over the 8 (9 with preorder) course list they have, so I completely get that.

I simply compared it to MUT/HUT in my original post though, because they are modes that I think are ridiculous in both of those games, and I just dont play them. Similar to how I'll handle this mode if my trial of the game through EA Access goes well.

Wrong on so many levels

For me, based on my past experiences with a vast amount of video games, this video really dictates what type of game and audience EA is targeting.

If EA is developing a racing game (Need for Speed) with Honda Civics that go 200 mph around city streets, then EA is targeting arcade racing audience. It may be a great game with stunning visuals, but I am a sim racer and simply do not have any interest.

For golf, I am also sim only. I play TGC only with all aids off. The video shown by EA dictates what type of game / audience they are targeting and it simply isn't my style.
Those saying, "you don't need to play this mode" are correct. I will not be playing that mode or purchasing this game.
