When you don't pull it off you are in places on the course that we rarely see on TW games and is a chance to make recovery shots. Edit: and try to ignore the green ball . they need to give us the option to turn that off as well as turn off auto club and swing selection. And improve flop shot animations.

Cool, thanks. Still seems pointless since letting it auto apply touch is so much easier (as far as distance is concerned) might as well work on that if you plan on playing online and want to win.

You're definitely right about those extra options. Think I'll just wait until this game is in the EA access vault, they'll probably have a few good patches by then.

That may be true but it's nothing like classic tiger, it's much twitchier. I prefer the older TW games that made me feel like the analog stick was akin to the power meter of classic golf video games; this feels nothing like that imo.

And classic Tiger games had zero tempo in them....

Yea I won't play this online. SP for me only so I can play how feels best for me and hoping they improve career mode. Really digging it.

True, I don't play enough real golf to say which way adds more realism I just don't find this swing interface to be as fun as classic tiger. Being able to adjust distance with the aiming arrow preshot lets you post a strong score while using the exact same motion on the analog stick for every swing, it seems boring.

The other preshot touch factors have always been preshot (fade, draw, top/backspin) and that makes sense but adding so much distance control preshot is the wrong decision. Of course that's totally subjective and based on what I think is "fun" about video game golf.

Use the shift button to type in lower case, stop yelling.



This game is so bare bones, wow. Putting ****ing sucks. It has no feel like TGC does. In TGC the putter feels heavy and you actually have feel for it. The absolute worst part of Rory is the putting, man it's bad. I'm still mad at the lack of courses/golfers. Hell, Rickie Fowler doesn't even have an orange outfit. This is just frustrating. I hope they have more courses added, damnit. That being said, the presentation is nice, and the game is sexy. But it really feels like a skeleton of a game. Not nearly complete. Lucky for EA, I don't have many PS4 games, so I was a sucker.

Felt the same way about putting at first. After about 15 hours, I have figured it out and it is not bad at all. Could it be improved? Sure! At least it doesn't have the ball fly off the putter head offline left or right randomly like TGC does. If TGC fixed that bug, it would be better than RM, IMO. I will say TGC has better cameras around the green as well. YMMV.....

Any more impressions on the 3-click implementation? That's honestly what has me sold on the game. IMO it's still the best way to play golf games, old school or not.
