This is more like Links. I am sure EA will sell a ton of battleship...I mean pga when it drops to fans of that genre. I don't think that HBS thinks it can compete but rather fill a niche that EA does not. Oh, and provide a course designer that EA has refused to do as it would make that yearly purchase of those dlc courses unnecessary.Quote:

Yeah... since it's not a AAA title, it won't have pre-load and will be available once the store is updated later today, typically by 5pm CT.Quote:

Glad I didn't jump on it right away.

Only if you have a lot of friends and they are playing the game as well.Quote:

First impressions, looks VERY GOOD. Like Links for the PC. No silly stuff like Tiger Woods would allow you to do, simple, realistic golf. I've played the "tee-off" hole 2 times, it's a dog-leg left, +2 the first time, even par 4 the 2nd time. I like the commentary.
EDIT:
Played my first 9 holes at Two Rivers Golf Club. Shot
8 4 6 4 2 6 5 5 5 = 45 (+9)
It's nice how they have yardage sticks, 250, 200, 100, etc...
The commentary is off, I sliced the heck outta one of my drives and he says, "that's quiet a hook on that one"...should have been a slice.
It seems like real life golf where you have to play the same course a few times to get the hang of where to hit your shots. Not like Tiger Woods where it gives you an aimpoint and target, this seems much more realistic.
EDIT #2, it looks like people are in the process of making courses and tournaments, there is 1 that will open in 6 days.
As far as the courses go, I see 21 different courses to play so far.
Edit #3, playing my first full 18, a cool feature is if you exit it has auto-saved and you can continue your round later.
While playing if you Press O it will give you a shot/hole overview similar to a yardage book. :up:
I haven't figured out if you can change/edit the clubs yet. The putter they have looks like an Odyssey DF 990.
I did figure out how to change my golfers clothes, glove, hat, etc...
I decided to grab the game.

No you can't yet. I assume since they have not sunk money into licenses and they want all players on a level playing field, I would imagine if/when they add that, it would be a generic change to the look of the clubs.Quote:

Eventually it can evolve hopefully.
So there is no way to play your friends?
I can wait until price drops, especially if JB says $20 considering he will buy any game pretty much lol
So you think it is worth less than what we pay each year for the same DLC courses from ea? In think the course editor alone is worth $35, the game play itself is way better than pga and I don't have to mess with pins that control the wind, coins, socks, gloves, shirts or any of that other cash grab bs.Quote:

Oh well to each his own. :up:
Yes you can but it does not have a "lobby" system. Everyone plays simultaneously and you see the ghost ball tracers. If I am not online and you see a course I played you can play against my ghost ball as well. There is a setting to turn off my score so you will not know ahead of time the score to beat.Quote:

How do they anticipate making money if this won't be a yearly title and they aren't doing any DLC?
If there won't be any DLC that hinders my enjoyment of the game I can definitely dig that.
Course creator is smooth. I'm making a tough course now, but balancing things out with medium difficulty gameplay.

2nd patch came out yesterday. A bunch of new camera options and it seems to run a bit smoother.
You can also disable that blimp follow camera that EA has used for years and for some crazy reason this game followed suit. Even better is you can press the (X) during the ball in flight to switch back to it. Works great as the camera has to catch up to the ball so you do not have the annoying overhead look. The camera options really do add to the game. You can remove DOF for even better performance and looks just as good. It is like a whole new ball game with this this update.
Hopefully the fine folks at Tiburon are taking notes and passing them on to the big wigs at Corporate on how to handle customer service, before, during and after the sale. This is how you address customers issues. Not just the brilliant communication in the forums but delivering with the patches. Kudos HB Studios.

EA has promised to put "players first." Ball is in your court.
The patch has improved an already good game. My main complaint is there seems to be little to play for, any interest in starting another tgt tour??
SC I've enjoyed the game too but other than trying to beat your scores there isn't much to play for.Quote:

I play MLB The Show to try and win the World Series. I play golf to try and win the PGA Championship, so for golf games, I'm sticking with Tiger Woods/PGA because I can play through an establish season mode and try to win titles.Quote:

What? That features were going to be slim at launch? I knew that going in, I also know that the game actually works way better than TW14 ever did, certainly better than after the first and only "patch".Quote:

Just because there is a lack of discussion here about the game means absolutely nothing.
I was excited about having an alternative. An alternative that is indeed a better golf sim than anything we have had recently. I do not miss the tricked up difficulty, leveling up etc, but the fact is if WE here all played it together as we did an inferior product for years and had the same type of tour.........I believe most of us that enjoy golf would enjoy the game. That was my lament, I only played the solo crap on TW to level up and grab trophies....the most enjoyment for me is Head to Head and chatting while we play. For some reason this game has not gotten the love/hype here but if we had the same 6 to 10 or so guys playing a TGT Tour my lament/complaint would be pointless.Quote:

To me, it's the same as if Madden was released with Play Now and multiplayer as the only options. I shouldn't have to pay for a game and then have to manually do all the work of keeping track of and managing a entire season or career in this day and age of sports video games. This ain't the 90s anymore with bare bones Windows 95 PC games.Quote:

BTW smooth I am not saying no to a career mode and those that enjoy it, still if you are into playing a career with humans, keeping track manually is required as it was here at the TGT tour.
