EA PGA TOUR games hasn't been fun and good looking since 2009 after that the quality dropped significantly.
The best game is still the 2004 edition.
Hell golf games nowadays just looked so last gen it hurts even The Golf Club thing why all the golfers looked so lifeless and robotic.
The last one from EA was 2015 Rory and it was mediocre at best they can't even mo cap Rory swing or anyone's swing properly and they looked weird as hell.
They have to get this next gen one right.

EA Board directors: That 2k Golf game did really well - slap together what you can and call it a PGA reboot. $.$

Instead of looking that this as cynically as possible, maybe EA actually did something here and we should wait and see what they did.

I am not saying it will be good at all, but, rather then judging before we know anything for fact, maybe we should see what the product is and assess what they did from there.

Personally, I would love to see a new EA golf game. I do think they went into a "milking money" state in the last couple iterations, but they do have the potential to deliver a really good game.

I go by track record dude, and they ain't got a good one!

@Hikoran
Track record is only an indicator.

And looking at the past couple of years EA is cleaning up their act quite a bit.

Sure they have their typical sports franchises. But Star Wars Fallen Order was a really solid game and so is Star Wars Squadrons. They also just published It Takes Two. Apex Legends is doing well.

As for golf. They were milking it for sure, but they took a multi-year hiatus, and I am hoping they come back with a completely re-written engine. Hope is better then pessimism. We should be encouraging all publishers and developers, not judging before the product is released. IT is skepticism like this that encourages the publishers and developers not to take chances. I want all the major publishers acting like entrepreneurs. I will reward them with game purchases when I feel they do well and avoid buying when they don't.

I don't care what their name is, I care about the quality of the game.

Who knew that a simple game of golf could be messed up so badly?

Either this is just click bait or the game just ran considerably better for me. I played it on series x and people say it doesn’t run well so I assume it’s clickbait then.

Shit review, he says there is no performance mode, ball physics are off when hitting the flag and moans about the spin in the ball etc lol. The golf is great it's just the lack of online modes I'm disappointed with and I've never had a disconnect ever since launch.

EvertonFC332d ago (Edited 332d ago )

The golf itself is fantastic, it's the bare bones online modes I'm pi**ed about and still no head to head online yet which shouldn't take that long to implement after 3 months since launch.

"Between gameplay mechanics that frustrate way too often, an online requirement that results in a number of disconnections"

Never had 1 disconnect since launch and I've played everyday and again not sure what gameplay mechanics he's referring too as I've had zero problems since launch apart from the camera angle being alittle pants on occasion but that got fixed after the 1st week of launch.

The reviewer moans about over hitting pmsl, that's on the gamer not the game, you're supposed to take everything into account wind, elevation, club shot mode etc. I can already tell hes hitting a pitch shot at full speed thinking it's gonna stop by the flag again pmsl you hit a pitch taking into account the wind speed, elevation and adjust according to the green up hill or down hill etc.
It amazes me how some reviewers cant grasp game mechanics then shit all over it cause there crap at the game.
Your gonna hit shots short or too long sometimes as that's what golf is all about, you don't hit perfect shots everytime and he also mentions the ball physics are crap there amazing quite the opposite.
This reviewer is clearly a 2k golf player and just shitting on EA for the sake of it.

GhostScholar332d ago

I hear you. I just like the career mode, I don’t really do online play. Someone always cheats and shots like 20 under on 18 holes. It’s never legit.

EvertonFC332d ago

Yeah the online daily tournaments there is cheats I think, like -9 on 4 holes. I think some players use the old mouse in-between 2 blocks of wood trick

Lol I like how N4G's rating says it got a Fore. This one's flying off the fairway!

Ea gonna release more courses in dlc then they provided in the standard game.

EvertonFC412d ago

30 courses at launch is great imo

EvertonFC412d ago (Edited 412d ago )

Great game imo, not without some faults but great so far. Not sure why the article thinks its a chore aiming ? not had a single issue in aiming tbh and the amount of people saying the UI is clunky? again its simplistic and perfectly fine in my eyes.
My main faults are online matchmaking at the moment and some shots in difficult places show a awful view (near a stand)
Solid 8/10 imo

GhostScholar412d ago

The person who wrote this article probably just doesn’t like EA. It’s the best golf game they’ve ever made. It was bad for years, but this iteration is actually very good. I prefer the old links games, but this game is as good if not better than 2k23.
