From the EA SPORTS PGA TOUR team: We are looking for general questions that you have in regards to the upcoming PGA title as EA is looking to get a collection of top questions from the community.
I have already passed a few on such as:
- The biggest worry is will this be a bare bones game like NHL was. That was disastrous for NHL where so many top features were not in the Gen 4, especially with a year off.
- The course creator was a big seller for Golf Club, and the general public will want to know if this is a reality in EA's PGA game finally.
- Will the gameplay be radically changed for the current generation of consoles?
- Many were disappointed with the support post-launch, will this be better with PGA Tour?
Community Submissions:
- Will there be an online career mode?
- Will we still be able to create a golfer in our own likeness? If so, how will that work?
- What kind of new social features can we expect? And how will/has the new console generation helped in developing them?
- What is the most extreme in-game/course transition/effect we can expect to see thanks to the Frostbite engine? (Aside from a battleship coming ashore.)
- Will there be real life manufactures (Titleist, Nike, Callaway, Odyssey, Under Armour (clothing), etc...)?
- Will there be a Move compatible (PS4) or Kinetic (Xbox 1) feature so we can swing a club?
- Will we be able to chip with a 3-wood or hybrid? Like bump n run from the fringe?
- Will we be able to to choke down on the clubs like in older versions? i.e. 1/2 and 3/4 swings?
- Will there be a camera angle that allows us to read the putt from all angles? i.e. as if you're walking about the hole to read the green?
- Will there be golf bags in the game? I think it's nice how The Golf Club shows a set of clubs on the tee-box, if we pan out it would be cool to see the player (amateur carrying their clubs or using a push/pull cart) or pro have a caddie carrying his/hers.
- Will there be a built in yardage book? This way we can play for distances or lay-up shots?
- Will there be a pin location sheet? Or color coded flags, i.e. red/white/blue for front/middle/back pin locations? This way when we play on super hard difficulty levels and can't zoom in, we still can have an idea of where the pin is located?
- Will the flag and trees accurately portray the wind direction and strength?
- Will there be an option to build a user-player handicap index that will take course slope and rating into account?
- Will there be a Ryder Cup option?
- Will there be a career mode that will be harder to make it to the PGA Tour, in the past you win 1 amateur event and you earn you card, it would be better if it was harder.
- Will there be club workshop where we can alter our clubs i.e. bend clubs lie and loft to make them stronger/weaker, re-shaft, re-grip etc..?
- What separates PGA TOUR apart from the Tiger Woods golf games? (ie, is it more of the same with shiny graphics?)
- With The Golf Club having a course designer and thus free DLC courses, how will EA approach DLC courses on PGA Tour?
- If there is an online league/career mode, what kind of options are there for the commissioner when setting it up?
- I'll echo the question about handicap system... if JB is a scratch golfer and I'm a 10 handicap, will there be systems in place to level the playing field?
- On a similar note, assuming there's a player-progression system, how do you handle the fact that the more a user plays, not only are they building their golfer into a stronger player, they're also getting better at the game itself? (it's probably poorly worded so you can scratch that one if you don't like it)
- What kind of post-launch support can we expect? TGC has set the bar very high in that department.
Is there any kind of Ultimate Team mode in PGA TOUR? - With the feature we saw with Naval Strike it got a whole lot of people thinking you guys aren't going to strictly focus on Sim Golf gameplay, and more arcade style. Are you still sticking to making the best Golf Simulation?
- Any new online game modes?
- Will there be any system built in to cut out all the online cheaters with ridiculous scores?
- Will Simulation Mode return as this was by far the best innovation in the game and was extremely fun until the first patch wrecked the game.
- Will country clubs return? Will they be fleshed out more to provide an online tour for your club? If so, will the stats finally work? I would gladly trade my battleships for these working features.
- Will the Augusta National Golf Club return?
Please post any others below and I'll send them along today.
