Just started the game, I LOVE how they have much more licensed equipment this year. Bridgestone, Mizuno, Golf Pride, Winn, just to name a few. I can recreate my real life golf bag once I start unlocking everything.
Very different feel from the demo as well. Everything is much more smooth and improved. Played one quick hole on Augusta with my pro, game seems really good.
Looking to pick up this game, do most people recommend the historic masters edition over the regular? Does it have anything else other than Bobby Jones and 5 more courses? I know some sites list the green jacket ceremony as a feature for the historic edition does this mean that if I get the standard that ceremony is not included?

Can't wait to dive in later tonight!
Thanks, Sinister! Do they still have Ping equipment and apparel in the game? TIA
For what seems like the tenth year in a row, I'm seriously underwhelmed. I don't see much of anything different from 13 in the gameplay department other than putting seems to be slightly improved. I spend 99 percent of my time in career mode so the other new modes are lost on me (although i will admit the ability to play against the legends sounds miles better than "Toddler Tiger" mode from last year). It was a chore enough to finish my first round when I was doing well (never missing a fairway on default Pro level with my new, unbuffed golfer in my first tournament and routinely driving 300 yards +). Granted, I haven't played the new "sim" setting which I'm sure will make it insanely frustrating for duffers like me.
What happened to the caddy feature from 13? It seems to be entirely gone now. I actually liked that a lot last year (particularly auto caddy for a casual player like myself - it saved loads of time and drudgery lining up markers). Still no ability to save replays. Still uses the last-generation face creator, so photos saved in titles like FIFA 13 aren't available.
It's pretty sad to me that this represents the evolution of golf games in all that time since Links on the Xbox...

Masters edition is a great bang for the buck. 5 more courses, Augusta Practice Facility and the Masters Presentation all for just ten more dollars. Since EA has added that option 2 years ago, I haven't bought the regular edition. Plus the courses are on the disc and NOT DLC like most other games this gen.

Hmmmm...I'm usually not one who would spend the extra $$$ just for the courses, but if I were to win the masters on the regular edition I wouldn't get the ceremony after correct?
That stupid presentation may be what puts it over the edge.
The broadcast presentation cameras are just not good. Especially the putting camera. Have no feel for how the putt is breaking after you hit it. Have to resort back to the follow camera unfortunately. Other than that I'm liking he game so far. Played one full round on Valhalla full sim and shot an 82. Chipping is hard and bunkers as well.
For my money this is now a no buy. Presentation "upgrade" is nothing great, graphics look the same, and camera angles are bad. Change in lighting is cool just not enough here for me to buy more of the same. Probably going to buy Tomb Raider or Gears tom. now that i'm not getting Tiger 14.

Yea, the Green Jacket ceremony is only in the Masters edition.
