Rory McIlroy PGA TOUR Available Today - Post Your Impressions Here

Yep - Super frustrating.

There was fantastic visual and gameplay foundation to build on with Rory over time by adding content and features (which I believe was indeed the plan).

It's so amazing they canned it so early in that process. Of course sales were lagging early on. The initial release was bare bones. What did they expect?

Just so disappointing. EA can fill a sports niche that few others can simply due to their resources.

I admire HB's efforts with TGC so far, but... it's just not the same.

just curious, but it seemed like when they changed the name from tiger woods, it all seemed to go downhill from there.....this game was never given a fair chance. never got any decent DLC either. they had a decent formula from the past tiger games so i wonder what happened.

The "formula" they used for Tiger ultimately became their downfall. That "formula" was the DLC strategy they used for courses and content and users got tired of them offering free DLC on year, then you had to pay for the same content the next version.

Rory failed because users expected it to be TW 14 on Frostbite3 with even more content after 2 full years in development and it fell far short of that. If RM had been such, I think it would have been the best PGA TOUR game ever, by far.

Really!?

That is totally bizarre...

I wonder...could they have contractually just needed to "not have it available anywhere" for the release of HB's newest game, but once it released they could put Rory back online?

That's truly weird - I'd love to know more about what happened with this..

Downloaded it and enjoying it. Not perfect but good for casual gamers.

I guess some 2K/HB have a PGA licensed game out they needed to put it back up just as competition??

It worked for me. I don’t have to buy any new golf games now.

I just don’t understand why it was pulled at all… It gave one the impression that the license had fully transferred or expired or something.

I’m glad it is back though as it certainly adds value to those with vault access.

That's great! It was odd when it was taken down in the first place, but I'm glad it's back. I'll be downloading it again!
