The Golf Club (PS4, XB1, PC)

"No difficulty modes. Since its you and the course, your difficulty mode is the difficulty of the courses you decide to play."

My 2 cents since I know a bit about gameplay in golf video games...

No way they have 1 difficulty and it is tuned for the hardcore. Based on this statement, either 90% of people that play it won't be able to break par or there will be a ton of people shooting -22 every round while the other 90% hovers around -9. Likely scenario 2. Arcade features like boost, spin and previews aren't what make -22 happen, they are what make -35 happen. Give me a golf game that doesn't try to challenge me with some higher difficulties and I will tear that game apart.

We will have to wait and see. You know what they say about making assumptions. It is the first game in the series so a bit of slack has to be made. The thing that interests me most is that if it is successful, how future entries develop, along with the ability to have unlimited courses. Assuming courses can carry over with each edition and the talent of the course designers waiting to get their hands on it, this could become an amazing product. Who needs a bunch of licensed courses when the community will make them for you.

If bugs and by bugs I mean game breakers like my bag resetting after every online hth match are at a minimum I am on board. Hopefully I won't have to purchase a course more than once either.

My biggest issue so far is not being able to have multiple pin placements

Well you should get an Xbox One my friend. Powerstar Golf has very few bugs, outside of one case where your player gets stuck in lava. They just added FREE CONTENT to the game and this is a couple months after the release. FREE. I mean more unlockables, NEW CAMERA angles during shots, and they even fixed a few things while they are at it.

Upon hearing about this update I almost fainted.

P.S. Golf bags do not reset either!

Between this and the news of this new golf game, I am pretty giddy.

Is that Mike with fishing pole, lack of bait is the "mythical" 2nd patch and the emoticon is the Tiger Woods 14 base?

Spoiler: show

Sounds a lot like the PC golf came EA tried to do a few years back. Name completely escapes me now. Maybe it was as simple as Tiger Woods Online I need sleep.

Going to need some golf cart insurance based on those movements.

can we get a fishing / hunting club game like this ? Would be awesome. It would just need multiplier and a better career mode and creation stuff.

Yes, all Hunting and Fishing games should have multipliers. You are on a Deer rampage, x 5 bonus for next deer killed.
