Rory McIlroy PGA Tour Course and Golfer List

[knob1701]

I won't be buying on day one as I need to see what EA has planned for the DLC prices. I guess it will also depend on if the gameplay is good or not. I am very happy with TGC right now so I won't have the golf fever when this comes out. Not sure how season mode will be any good with the small amount of courses anyway.

The Season Mode is what I'm most curious about. A 9/10 course season? After all the courses on Last Gen I'm just baffled at the short list of courses on release day.

Seriously, no TIGER WOODS in this game? I don't care if he's a shell of his former self, I want to play as Tiger Woods dangit.

This was confirmed in March when they announced Rory as the new cover guy. They severed ties with Tiger.

My guess is that there is a small rotation of course s for career mode. Maybe you play two courses with some form of a slight change the setup etc.

It has been confirmed on RM EA Sports PGA Tour's official twitter page that "FREE post launch updates" will include golfers and courses. According to Chris from OS some courses could actually be added and or subtracted because it has been confirmed that this will not be a yearly release. That means there will probably be a ton of free course and golfer updates throughout the next year or until the next game is made

One thing I noticed on the gameplay videos is the leaderboard had a lot of names that are real golfers that are not listed in the 12 golfers that will be in the game. Since most of us use our own created golfer anyway, I figure as long as the leaderboard looks like the real thing, I could care less which golfers I can actually play with.

Just my two cents.

This is true, but one thing that sort of bothers me about the way it's done is that the names on the screen seem to represent variables on a bell curve spreadsheet. The scores always seem to follow a familiar pattern that makes the overall feel of the leaderboard a bit sterile. I wish that the game could play out the rounds, hole-by-hole, based on a statistical and probability model for each given player (off-screen and in the background, mind you), but I imagine that would take a lot of processing power that would be needed just for displaying the current action on the screen.

I always thought it would be cool if you could play with: A.) The closest licensed player included with the game to you on the leaderboard in career mode play, or B.) the "ghost" ball (the ball and shot telemetry) of a non-licensed player in career mode play. I suggested both to EA Sports and they said they'd look into A, and B is something they wouldn't want to hazard because even playing against a ghost ball of a non-licensed player, even though you don't see the player, might be construed to be an unauthorized "likeness" of the non-licensed player.
