Ready to tee it up on PS4!

Day one update? Has this been confirmed buy EA? Or are speculating?

It is not a scoring bug. They just have not built out the playoff scenarios for each course in case of a tie.

It's actually been pointed out several times.

Watching a twitch stream right now of a guy playing online with what looks to be tour settings at TPC Boston and for some reason it looks a whole lot better than I've seen on the videos and stream from EA. Probably the best iv'e seen so far this is getting me a lot more excited for Tuesday. My Impressions are:

1. First of all the sound of the driver isn't that thud anymore its actually a ping this time which is nice. Game sounds good when its quiet with no commentary.

2. No obnoxious celebrations online which is always nice.

3. Rory's swing is spot on with his signature finish.

4. TPC Boston looks gorgeous. I notice better textures and the different cuts in the fairway, fringe. and rough. Maybe because of the style of course it is though compared to a links style?

5. Online play looks smooth and competitive. I don't typically play sports games online for some reason I just enjoy the career modes the most, but I will definitely be playing the one I think. Unless guys start going -20 every round like that other golf game lol so ridiculous. I'll be on PS4 @Next1inYoDome

Can't wait to get my hands on it Tuesday I'm jealous of everyone playing right now at least Playstation runs at that 1080p haha

After playing the trial for a few hours, here's my take on some of the claims EA has made about it's own game over the past few months and what the reality actually is:

"Golf without limits". Reality is you are limited to only 8 real courses and 12 real golfers. Limited online features. Limited player customization.

"Next generation of golf". Reality is that the graphics look like this game is on the 360/PS3 instead of the One/PS4. Trees and long grass look terrible.

"Golf reimagined". Gameplay is pretty much the same as it was in the Tiger Woods games. Controls are very basic. Tiger '09 had more features and customization than this game does.

"No load times". Notice how after you finish each hole when it shows you the leaderboard, you are unable to skip to the next hole right away. This is when the next hole is being loaded...

"Explore the course". You are teleported to each shot and can't walk around the course. And you never actually get to explore the course since it's so easy to hit the ball straight.

Overall, this game is just a stripped down version of the Tiger Woods series with marginally better graphics. The game feels unfinished and rushed which is absurd considering they had over 2 years to develop it. Don't let EA's gimmicks and marketing get in the way of the reality that this game is a huge disappointment.

I played two rounds with 3 friends online tonight and it was a lot of fun. Tour pro difficulty

Very competitive. No lag. Lots of fun. I was on the fence but, I think this game is a buy for me.
