Not sure why they are not implementing a PROPER creater a player in these updates.

If thats whats in store for the new retail then maybe its worth waiting til then ratehr than update the game anymore.

these courses with a very generic player made isnt fun

I agree with you Tomba. Not having it really takes a lot of personality out of the game, something it sorely needs, IMO. I really miss the Create a Golfer/Gameface functionality of the Tiger Woods PGA Tour games, which I think were at their peak between TW 10 and 12.

It's ironic that none of the current golf games have a decent create a golfer option. I would say that even Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2003 had a more powerful create a golfer feature than ANY golf game released since Tiger Woods PGA Tour 14.

Hoping they can add more courses to the game next year. Not enough in this one for me to spend that kind of money.

Does this game have a control scheme similar to Hot Shots Golf 3 button clicks or analog stick only?

RM has both analog and 3-click swings.

The custom settings are a great addition for 3-click. You can play casual or sim-style where the "perfect" strike point is very small and mis-hits veer far off the intended target.

So, the other day I saw on the Rory McIlroy EA Sports forums that news on an update for the game was coming soon...but now I can't access the forums anymore.

Anyone else see this?

Neither can I. They are having issues with the forums right now and had similar issues last weekend....

Well, the EA forums are working again, and this nugget was dropped in there today by one of the devs:

We are in the cert process. Probably have it out next week. I would share details but there is a blog, so I don't want to steal marketing's thunder. Once they share the blog (I have no timetable on that yet) I can talk about what is in the patch.

Hint: We messed with career and there is probably a new course.

Where is this blog?

Is it just the ea site news section which has just a handful of 2016 news posts?
 
# 551 MrArlingtonBeach @ 05/06/16 10:21 AM
Seems he meant that a blog is going to be posted once the update is through certification and such (as he said, there is no timetable for the blog's release). Once the blog is out, more info will be available.

Messed with career might finally be the incentive I need to drop some money on this. Looking forward to next week!

And on May 10th, it'll be available on EA Access. Which is awesome.

I just picked this up today for $16.

I haven't played a PGA Tour game since Tiger Woods '12, which had The Masters in it.


Anything cool I should know to start before I fire this game up tonight? Anything I should do right when I start?


I figure I'll just fire up a game and see what happens from there.

I would head right into the career mode. That's the only way to level up your created character and unlock equipment/apparel. Granted, the career mode is bare bones...customization is pretty weak and there isn't a ton of options to make your character look like anyone specific. But that's where most of my time has been spent with the game.

Unranked head to head online...

Is it possible for each player to pick their own swing settings? I like using the stick method, and my friend uses the 3 click. I set mine on the screen where you can pick a golfer, but it still made me use the 3 click swing.

I played a few rounds to get the hang of the game and did fairly well. Nearly went bogey free on St. Andrews in my first full round until I doubled the 17th due to my crap putting. I used to play the heck out of the old Tiger Woods games (Tiger Woods 02/03) so I'm not really a n00b.

I'll definitely jump into career mode asap, thanks for the suggestion. I just don't want to get in there until I have the base mechanics down pretty well.

Customization really doesn't matter much to me. I usually don't create a person that looks like myself anyway. If I do, I'm bald with a beard and they usually have that option lol.

I'd like to know this as well if anyone has the info.

It's probably too late in the cycle for this to happen, but being able to create 4 round tournaments to compete in online against friends would be nice. I'm not even asking for the full country club thing right now.
