I wish this was like real golf where you can see all golfers on the tee, and you had to play your turn. This feature was Hot Shots golf on the PS Vita for goodness sake.

At least have an option for it. Correct me if I misunderstood you on this.

Nothing crazy happened and it was meh to me... Then played the Grand Canyon.. This one was much harder.. Several times when I over hit the ball the game kinda glitched out and would just focus on the player and not the ball..... At this point the game does not feel done at all. Hoping for a big day one patch, otherwise this is a 6.5 out of 10 at best... Kinda bummed, this thing needs more time in the oven for some plish for sure!

Scary that 2+ years was not enough.....

I didn't see an option, but this is the way golf games are going in order to shorten the games.

For those finding it too easy to hit the ball straight, try switching thumb sticks.

I normally swing with right thumb and find it really easy, but switched to left thumb stick in settings and now I'm all over the place!

Jealous of you guys with Early Access. I have two questions..

1) Do you think there's a guy out there somewhere who makes his decisions on whether to buy a game solely based on the comments on OS?

Follow up question..

2) When do you think the last time he bought a video game was?

It's a sad commentary on the state of console golf games that TW 11 and 12 and Links 2003 for the original Xbox still represent the best of the genre. If Rory was the latest edition of FIFA or Madden, people would scream to the high heavens that this edition was a regression.

Golf fans yearn so much for a solid console title that I think many warts are being tolerated. This game is pretty. It has a strong sense of immersion. But it's not a good representation of the sport on the turfgrass, from my first impression. I have Frostbite -- because this game is leaving me cold.

EA Access pays off again, saving me dineros in the long run.

Wow you guys are a tough crowd!

But here are my thoughts anyway:

Bearing in mind I play "army golf" in real life (left, left, right left!), played golf games for some time (first was Jack Nicklaus Signature on the PC), I quite like it. I had a session with arcade controls (which I think is fun and that's the basis of sports gaming for me) and yes it does feel a little easy and the putting is like its on autopilot sometimes but darn it its fun!

The graphics are absolutely phenomenal, they got butterflies and squirrels and the water is just so pretty! The presentation is up there with the best sports titles but the "celebrations" are a little annoying. Every time you hit a shot, your player does these gestures which are a little OTT (IMO).

The courses are limited yes but the level of detail is insane. The bad: player customization is a embarrassing. You dont even get beards as an option (so much for my Khal Drogo winning TPC!), its just really shallow and you'd think with these so called next gen consoles they'd at least give us beards, I want my bearded barbarian!

Other than that, like someone else said it feels like the last NHL or EA UFC. Its a new title, its their first entry its not as deep as the TW series but you should get it because its fun and is sim enough for me. 7/10!

The game looks great, but honestly as an owner of TGC I was pretty much only hyped about the added immersion of creating myself (gameface on previous versions was amazing) and going through a career. But the player creator is so laughably bad it completely removes that. You get 11 faces, most of which don't even look like a real person, I think six hairstyles, and some different skin tones. That's it. Not even facial hair. At least 99% of people who try won't be able to make anyone that even passably looks like them. It's pathetic.

And the career mode is very underwhelming so far. No calendar, no events... basically it's just a series of rounds. I think I'm skipping this until/unless major updates are made. It doesn't offer much that TGC doesn't at this point outside looks.
