I wish I had time to play this

I am very much on the fence with this game. Been playing it through EA Access and while I think the graphics are best in the genre and feel the game offers some exciting challenges and I love being able to play as Spieth. I have been unable to finish a round no matter what course and settings I am using.

I can't remember is this a bi-annual release title now or not?

How does this game play and is there enough content now that it's been awhile since release?

I'm definitely not going to buy it at $40, but had I seen the sale last week for $13 on Amazon I probably would have jumped on it.

Also wondering how the online component works now that this new patch is out.

For me personally there are not enough courses. (I know the reason doesn't change how I feel.) They will never have enough golfers but that's all comes down to budget so I'm okay with that. I like stroke play but there are a lot of options so it's not terrible in that regard.

For me the game is probably a pass but with EA Access I can say I respect the effort and think a good foundation has been laid.

Finally got a PS4 this week, and managed to get Rory McIlroy PGA Tour during the $13 sale at Amazon.

I've only just scratched the surface so far (thanks to the game taking almost 10 hours to fully install), playing the prologue, a few holes at Whistling Straits, and the first round (using Quick Rounds) of the Web.com Tour final. I like what I am seeing gameplay wise. I'm using modified custom settings, with Tour settings as my base. I'm sure I'll be tweaking it as I go. It's EA Sports golf, which I enjoy and have enjoyed for many years. No complaints in the gameplay department at this point.

Graphics are solid. Since it's my first PS4 game experience, I don't have anything to compare it to, but I'm pretty impressed by what I see in RM. Whistling Straits is beautifully recreated. Seeing it first-hand in real life at last year's PGA Championship, I was excited to see it in the game. It did not disappoint. Some clipping here and there, but nothing too distracting.

Of course, much has already been said about the lack of depth in the game - the low number of courses, licensed golfers, customization options, etc. I'm hoping the game's career mode will keep me occupied for a while, but I can already see how the lasting appeal of RM might run out in a hurry. With Oakmont still to come, there's at least another course to add to the stable. But since career mode is my go-to mode, I'm worried it will get stale.

All told, I think $13 for this game is a steal, even if the lasting appeal of RM is limited. It's a good-looking, good-playing game that fulfills my virtual golfing needs. I'll perhaps give The Golf Club a look down the road, but I have no complaints at the moment about Rory McIlroy PGA Tour.

As for the courses... there were 8 real world courses when the game shipped, and I assume that's all you get in the EA Access version still? Three or four more have been made available, free post launch. I think there is still another one or two coming in the future as well.


That puts it pretty much in line with the number of courses it's always had prior to paid DLC offerings post launch if I'm not mistaken.
