I absolutely love the game but here are my biggest gripes: - Player customization. This is an EA game where you SHOULD be able to make your character look just like you. The lack of full customization, including swing, is a huge miss. - Cup physics. There’s some questionable physics when it comes to slow rolling putts not lipping in. - Challenges. I shouldn’t have to back out of the challenge to go to the next one. I should be able to just go to the next challenge after I complete one.

Surprised the player customization is so limited. You’d think EA can just use the same engine from say FIFA

Been enjoy PGA tour a little bit more polish to be as good as 2k. But a great game to start with the graphics are gorgeous

Ball rolls forever like it’s on concrete. I can also put max backspin on a green shot and it still bounces forward and rolls for a mile.

Anyone know how to play a game online with your friend where you don’t have to be your created golfer? If you host you can pick any golfer but if you’re the invitee you can only be your created golfer.

Brooks is in the game ??

Years ago I used to play EA Golf online (when it was Tiger Woods IIRC) and on every hole on every course there were - challenge points. E.g. 250 yards off the tee, 300 yards, a 25' putt, 50' putt, birdie, eagle, hole in one. You got points for each of these challenge points, and you could cash the points in for better gear. I loved it. Then EA fucked the game play with an update - all of a sudden the predictability of the game just disappeared. Courses that you knew well and could score well at would suddenly turn into monsters and your ball would go all over the place, overrun, stop on a dime, drift off to either side - and so many people complained they just took it offline. Is that still in this version of the game?

I picked this up from Asda for a fiver ...at this early stage ,I think that's a fair price .I also have The Golf Club 2019 and ,so far I prefer it to this .E.A. Have done their usual thing and tried to appeal to all gamers. it's too bright ,way too many cut scenes that break up the flow, too much commentary, there's a distinct pause as you attempt backswing, no sense of instinctive power control, ball physics on greens crazy. It does have a large amount of adjustment to the control ,which has helped ,so maybe with a bit of fettling you'll find a usable game. Just an arcade game ,not a good golf game .

Worst character customisation of all time. Great gameplay tho. Needs to add more pros, legends, swing animations, swing tuning, driving range, ticket conversion to points, unlockables etc.

Can you make this game for PS5 VR2?

You say about short game "confused once every hole or 2". That means that virtually every hole you had a problem. If it was "that bad", no one would play more than an hour or 2 and it would have over-neg reviews on steam.

This game must have

Maybe it's because I've been gaming since the Apple II+ was state of the art,, but I couldn't be more disappointed. Visually, it's wonderful, but the game play is trash. The majority of the round is spent in loading screens, the music is abysmal and for F 's sake, having to turn off the repetitive announcing every time I start the game is a pain. It shouldn't be hard to set off as a default. The swing itself is either simplistic (up through tour settings) or a nightmare of specifics (simulation mode). Moving a ball right or left is a crap shoot as the swing plane changes to odd angles that don't seem to conform to the controller's natural movements. Sadly, set up is completely absent from the process. Your stance and ball position are fixed and picking your flight and trajectory is a simple as moving an arrow and swinging. It could be nostalgia and maybe I need to go back and replay it, but EA's Tiger Woods series seemed to be so much more complete. I was really hoping that EA Sports would return to PGA glory, but as the video mentions, it's not at all different from 2k's version, which was lacking as well. 6/10.

Playing on pc give by far the best experience. With frame rate unlocked and at 4k ultra with proper HDR the game looks stunning. What really matters though is the gameplay. Sadly the ai scoring is broken. But I have designed my own gameplay mod. Consequently career mode with 100 opponent difficulty is now absolutely brilliant and totally absorbing. I doubt ea will fix the ai bug. I have submitted a bug report through. A great game on pc. But only when modded. The vanilla game is broken.

I really want to like this game, but its just off, the swing animations, ball and course physics feel worse than Rory McIlroy PGA Tour.
