![]() That is the old school way to play EA SPORTS golf, and it was a challenge jumping back into that swing mechanic. I have really enjoyed playing Tour mode a lot, but there is also a returning shot mechanic in the 3-click swing. The swing mechanic in the Tour mode is great as your swing has mechanics and feedback that are affected based on your back and down swing. Offline play though there is a blue line that actually guides you and teaches you were the ball will land taking wind and elevation into effect. This makes you actually have to execute a little better and the amateur mode is not a gimme in online play. The gameplay is not completely different from the past, but amateur mode has a new wrinkle where the putt preview is gone and the putt read line is in its place. As far as fantasy courses go, these offer a lot of fun, and since Paracel Storm is 18 holes of all par 3's, you can work on getting those aces. Then there are the fantasy courses such as Coyote Falls that is carved into the Grand Canyon, and Paracel Storm that is taken from Battlefield 4. I talked about Lighthouse Pointe previously, and there is also the Wetlands that is set up almost like your municipal course back home. The fictitious courses are we welcome addition to the game as they are beautifully designed. The graphics are phenomenal, and so is the atmosphere surrounding the golf course. There is a fictitious, but realistic course new to the game called Lighthouse Pointe that is extremely beautiful to enjoy a round of golf on. It would have been great to see them use the same tech that the NBA Live team is using for their face scans. While there is room for this to be patched and be better, what we have right now is not great at all. The last bit of negative is the fact that the player creation is very bare bones. Giving the first course free is a great start. Hopefully they have a DLC model that will make the long-time fans of this game happy. There are only 8 licensed courses to start, with the 9th coming for free in September. I fully understand the fact that these courses were completely built from scratch with the Frostbite engine which in the long run was a GREAT thing. ![]() The lack of courses I can go either way on. ![]() The lack of a punch to start us off on the PS4/XB1 is what really kills the score. It is also missing features that were great in the last iteration of Tiger such as Country Clubs. It's missing something to wow us like an online career mode or even online leagues. It is lacking something new for being the first title of the current gen. While none of that is for certain, it is definitely worth speculation due to the lack of a number in the title where all other EA SPORTS titles have one.įirst I'll start off with the bad. ![]() The game gets a solid 7 from me, with the chance to grow with post-launch support, and the possibility that this could be an evergreen title that EA constantly adds to for a few years. ![]()
