Officially 12 courses on disc, 8 real courses, 4 fantasy.

Scottsdale if you preordered, Scottsdale free mid Sep if you didn't.

That's not the solution. Once you get use to the motion, the accuracy will come back.

With the addition of another course being added in Sept for free (even if its already available for preorders), is there any chance EA keeps interest in this game and gives us more patches, gameplay updates, and even more courses. I've heard they did something similar to this with a UFC title. And back to TGC....have they implemented there $10 season mode download yet? I've actually been playing lots of real golf, so i've been off of the TGCtours for awhile. Thanks everyone for all the updates and critiques.

I think the chances are high that you will continue to get updates at least until Spring 2016. Same thing happened with UFC and the updates and patches turned that game into a good game.

Thats the benefit of games that take a 2 year cycle. They have time to update the old game for a few months before moving on to the next version.

Ea access is clutch and saved me 47.99.

Presentation is awesome and everything else is incomplete or terrible.

A really strange product.

Or 9 if you do the pre-order and get Scottsdale. You'll get Scottsdale free in September otherwise. Two of the so-called fantasy courses are pretty realistic though. Lighthouse Point and especially The Wetlands, are courses I wouldn't mind playing again and again. I just hope that over time, EA Sports will enhance and tweak this game to make me want to play the included courses and the ones they will be adding. Right now, I'm not exactly stoked about the gameplay, and in some areas, the presentation.

I assumed that to be the case myself, and that's probably it.

I'm sure it's also something I will get used to and not notice after a few rounds too.

All in all. I thought sawgrass looked fantastic

Just baffling. The graphics look nice, it plays faster, and the announcing is good (although glitchy, I've noticed a few times), I'll give it that. I said this in another thread, I don't know much about programming, but to say this is written from scratch seems awfully thin to me. It's JUST like every other Tiger game.

Gotta disagree to most of what you stated with the exception being the lack of Gameface, courses, and Golfers. Plays very different than past Tiger games, especially in Tour and Custom Tour with all aids off.

Sorry you keep beating the drum about building this up from scratch, but I'll simply agree to disagree since I know it was built scratch from the ground up,. If it weren't, we would have far more features from TW14 in RM that they would have been STUPID to leave out of the game, GameFace being the most obvious.

I'm heading out to play 18 this afternoon, but maybe some guys want to get together for a foursome together and play a few rounds tonight on the Xbox One. I'm down for some 3 Click Golf Tour Difficulty or just analog swing golf tonight.
