Rory McIlroy PGA Tour Review

Wow, did they get rid of their devs? Why would they give us such a bare boned next gen golf game? Nice start EA. Way to ruin the franchise for good.

Re: Rory McIlroy PGA Tour Review

GisherJohn, I used to commiserate with you over on the EA message board for the NCAA series.

I agree with you. I've been pounded on by members of this Ballard for questioning this game. But, the bottom line is, we paid a premium video game price, for a less than premium product.

I have had some fun with it as far as the actual Tour courses, all 6 of them. Not 8, because Lighthouse Pointe and the Wetlands only exist in EA world.

Night golf, useless, useless, useless. Gisher, can you imagine the first production meeting for this when one of the EA guys suggests certain courses, or match play, or whatever feature and got shot down for it. Then the next guy pipes up and says "I know, night golf, with neon colors, no XP, just hit shot through rings for the heck of it." Who signed off in that?

You've been "pounded on"?.....Wow. Looks to me you have pretty much been able to say what you felt like with little to no arguing.....

Re: Rory McIlroy PGA Tour Review

DM, there was another thread maybe the original one a few pages back into it where I said something negative and I was jumped on about it, that's all.


The gameplay is great, especially trying out 3-click, the graphics are great,it's just missing too much. Kind of like NHL 15 was missing so much last year.

I don't recall seeing that, but if it did and I was a part of it, you have my apologies....and I agree with you on the rest....

I don't think you were, DM, and truthfully I probably deserved some of it, anyway.


I went on a diatribe about the rabbits in the bunker and some of the dumb little sayings in between tournament rounds like "feeding wildlife", and "racing golf carts", and such. I went off on the celebrations.


Basically just venting about spending full price for 1/3 to 1/2 of the game we were used to getting.


Oh, well, let's just keep hoping for more and more meaningful and useful updates. Way more courses needed, and depth to the career mode.


Incidentally, other than a power outage a couple days ago, today was the first time I turned off the game since Tuesday the 14th, so I guess I don't hate it that much.

There's not even a calendar that you can look at upcoming/past events? Yeah that is weak

Amen. As much as I've been saying that I'm lovin' TW14 since I bought all the DLC courses the load times for that game are still a bit much after playing RM.

Is there anyway we cannot celebrate like a jackass after a birdie?

I pound the x and look away from the screen and pretend that if I don't see it it didnt happen.

Re: Rory McIlroy PGA Tour Review

Should be a 29.99 game !! Removing all those modes is crazy

[TheBleedingRed21]

Re: Rory McIlroy PGA Tour Review

You got to remember, at $29.99, there's less profit which would mean not getting free courses,etc.

Sure it can be a $30 game, but bet you'll pay over $30 in dlc for that too.

Re: Rory McIlroy PGA Tour Review

We will still end up paying extra at some point. With the reviews and sales (guessing) that they have had, you know things that were going to be free, will become $ DLC. Gotta make up the money somehow.
