Re: Rory McIlroy PGA TOUR Trial Available Now For Xbox One Users without EA Access?

Not coming off like a troll from my perspective. Not sure where that comment came from....maybe he was referring to the Facebook posters?

No, that was directed at me and he wasn't just firing a shot across the bow... he really meant it and because I respect him as a poster, I have to seriously consider what he said. I tend to not get bent out of shape over something somebody says on the internet and as a result, I'm overly tolerant of abrasive posters, probably to a fault. I can see where I could easily fall into the trap of getting overly sarcastic and facetious, as I think is the case here. Every now and then I need a course correction and this is one of them.

I respect your sense of propriety and willingness to be self-introspective, Onlooker.

Onlooker,

I apologise for coming across with the 'Troll like' comment,it was the wrong choice of words.
I think it was a knee jerk reaction to a number of posts I have read here & on other forums that are not in favour of the game.(your opinion I know,I see that now)
I have a good idea that if the negativity around RM continues we will not be seeing any future improvements beyond September so I guess I was just trying to stop your small contribution to the sh-it storm.

Feel free to shoot me down in the future

RIFRIG, no apology is really needed here... you said what was on your mind at the time, and looking back at the trend in my escalating criticism of RMPGAT, I went further than I needed to go to make my point. I had very high expectations for this game and it has been a huge disappointment to me. I guess I'm just venting my disappointment in paths I usually don't venture down.

The more I think about it, the more I thing this game was simply released before it was finished. I tried playing a head-to-head match during the EA Access period and it was barely even a shell of the experience that head to head play had been in the previous installments in the TW series. Then I tried playing my favorite mode of the series, online tournaments, and again, it just felt like a shell of the previous experience.

I'm not going to go into the other two show-stopper items for me in this game because I've belabored them enough already. I just hope that at some point, this game gets groomed into the kind of shape a game that looks this good, and has this sort of license working for it deserves. EA Sports has too much money invested in this game to put it out to pasture because of a heavy dose early criticism. I think a couple more updates from now they'll probably have in much better condition. I'll be ready to part with my cash when it has addressed the curable issues that myself, and lots of others have already identified. EA Sports may not be communicating with the community in the sort of depth most of us expect, but I expect they're listening... they're smart enough to know what to do to turn this around, IMO.
