I absolutely love how the courses play to their true counterpart in terms of the firmness of the fairways and greens.

Thanks to Frostbite, going through the trees will act like it should now too!

Sounds good!

Pretty nice that the Tour swing already removes zoom ability.

The ball physics and course specific features are definitely nice

Game looks good but those modes didn't really do anything for me and time will tell how much better the physics are.

Really the only way I can see myself buying this game is if they have some sort of online and deep career mode.

Tour definitely sounds exactly like what everyone has wanted out of this game and TGC. No arcade assists, no boosts, no zooming, etc., just being forced to rely on the yardage book to save your ass on the course.

Actually they already had all of what you said in the game in 14...and even 13 if I'm not mistaken...people just neglected to use it

I still play Tiger 14 and in my career I play Tournament/Tour every thing.

No swing or putt meters, Expert Swing, No zoom in or shot preview, no shot markers, etc. My swings aren't always perfect either.

That's why I get confused when people said it was a dart game. It definitely can be difficult with all of these things off

[SmoothPancakes]

Tiger 12 was my last one I bought, so I have missed the features of the last two. But it definitely sounds like it will be a true challenge.

Ah OK

Yeah the past 2 versions had the ability you were talking about. Think it's actually called Tour Pro difficulty..been a while since Ive looked at it because it's been set since I got the game.

It doesn't let you see where you are hitting the ball just the distance. No power boost, no spin. And the slightest mess up on the swing will result in a bad mishit (if on Expert) swing

No putt meter so you don't know how hard to swing

These features weren't used by a lot of people because it's not fun shooting 10-20 over par lol

AUTHENTIC BALL DROPS

Even though courses are more open than ever before, there are still rules in golf and there are certain areas where you can’t play a ball.

In the event your ball goes into a hazard, you are given realistic options for where you can take a drop.

https://media.easports.com/content/www-easports/en_US/pga-tour/news/2015/gameplay/_jcr_content/par/image_10.img.jpg

If you hit your ball into a water hazard without a designated drop zone, you have a few options.

You can either replay the ball from where you took your previous shot, drop a new ball within two club-lengths of the point of entry, or take your next shot from any point behind where the ball entered the hazard, in line with the pin.

The options change a bit if you happen to dunk a shot on a hole where a drop zone is present. You can either hit your next shot from the previous location, or play it from the designated drop zone.

If you hit into an unplayable lie (imagine the ball getting stuck in a tree or between rocks where you can’t make a swing) then you can play your next shot from anywhere back on a line with the pin behind the unplayable spot.

IT LOOKS GREAT! Can't wait!

I don't know if it's just a teaser but it is neat how on one of the putts it shows the caddie tending the flag. That's a nice addition.

I'm all for the no zooming and having to use a yardage book. That's how real golf is played. Very happy with what I see so far. :up:

[SmoothPancakes]

Yep, I'm really looking forward to this. TGC is a fun game, but I'm looking forward to the official courses and an actual tour schedule. And if I can get the challenge of golfing on TGC with the official courses and tour schedule of EA's game, I'm all aboard! Both games will be fun in their own rights.
