Rory McIlroy PGA TOUR Available Today - Post Your Impressions Here

[Gerg04]

Played 5 rounds last night. Missed the cut at wetlands blowing up for +13 or some craziness.

Fire up Chambers Bay for my 3rd tourney with my pro.... Already getting the hang and throwing darts. Playing: Advanced mechanic, Hard swing difficulty, power and spin off, Advanced lie effect. Left the putt read and green grid on which makes no difference as I'm TERRIBLE putting still.

My point is, after round one I'm tied for the lead at -6. Bogey free round AND missed a handful of birdies. Saying all that I only made 1 par 5 in 2. Kinda worries me things are going to get real easy real quick.... Hope patches can add some difficulty

I know we've heard that EA doesn't plan on putting out a new RMPGAT each year, but instead providing updates. I'm 100% on board with that idea, but does anyone know if they've confirmed that they'll be starting that with this installment? The idea of being stuck with this career mode is a bit disheartening. I don't mind the gameplay. I'm having fun with it. But career mode as is will get very boring. Even if they add more clothes, clubs, etc. Especially if we can't add DLC courses to career.

I like the general idea, but if the base game tanks, I don't see EA(not the devs) investing in a full blitz meaningful DLC push. If anything it will be piece meal small DLC with premium prices ala Facebook games model.

Is it just me, or is shot shaping exactly backwards. A punch places the marker low, previous games always had you place the marker where you want to strike the ball, doesn't seem to be the case in this game.

It's not just you; the game has it backwards. I expect them to address it in a future patch.

Alright. Enjoy whatever playstyle you prefer.

Sure, there is no "right" way to do it as we have an option. Options always create different opinions or favorites. Like people using the digi pad to steer (instead of analog sticks) in a racing game or using the "not so analog" buttons to accelerate or brake (instead of shoulder buttons like R2 or L2)!
But there is always an more realistic way to do it. I prefer realistic and found it to be more fun.

Anyway, don't get me wrong. Feel free to use whatever you like. I'm not a dictator.

I've been enjoying the game I know it's limited in areas but I'm still having fun on the course I don't know if you guys know but like in previous Tiger games if you hold triangle/Y it speeds up the flight of the ball. I didn't see it listed in the controls so tried it to see if was still included.

It does kinda get that way unfortunately and you keep leveling up and it gets easier and easier. I can shoot -10 fairly consistently on the real course with hardest difficulty.. But just wait till tourney 4. It's basically the "masters" and it's at a fictional course. I shot 10 over in the first round because of the ridiculous changes in elevations and higher wind speeds. It was horrible and in it I saw a horrible thing EA did. They made the course be the deciding factor in the difficulty level. That shouldn't have been the case. Make it easier to have shots stray left or right. Make the rough and hazards harder to hit from. Don't make a par 3 elevated 200 feet with a 14 mph crosswind to make the game harder. I'm all for harder courses but honestly. ..well you'll see its pretty ridiculous.

I like the game alot actually and am going to continue to enjoy it I hope but that to me was a poor design decision.
