So five courses then..... Fires up firethorn. They've already announced at least 9 courses at this point: For sure in the game: Augusta PGA Championship host US Open host The Open host TPC Sawgrass Pebble Beach They've also announced that the FedExCup Playoffs are in, so that's another 3. All fine if all you're interesting in is playing US courses and maybe St Andrews. Apart from a bit of fun on the console Tiger Woods games with the PS move. I have to go back to Tiger 08 on PC for an EA golf golf game I really loved and that had a course designer and hundreds of great community made courses. HB brought back the community golf game and societies really add to the online experience. A golf game is seriously left wanting without one for me. Hard to get excited especially as it's the same Dev team that made the disaster that was Rory McIlroy PGA Tour golf. |

Good news. Hopefully it gives HB/2K a much needed kick up the arse.

Wow nine. Fires up pebble beech. Imagine how nice it will be to play those courses with the actual names they have, with actual licensing and presentation for the events they host, instead of needing to call them something ridiculous to avoid getting censored... I want 2K's golf game to succeed, and I like having a nearly unlimited amount of courses to play, created by the community. But I also want to play actual, real life courses and events when I buy a PGA TOUR-branded game. 2K21 has lots of events in career mode, but they lack the majors. And that's kind of a big deal. Not to mention that 2K21's career mode has glitched leaderboards that will apparently never get fixed... |

No word of a course creator yet I assume? Course creator has been a success in the TGC series. Guess it will be a feature in mostly all golf games going forward. |

It's a bit like Fifa vs PES. All the casuals always bought Fifa because it had all the official licences, but PES was always the better game. EA were always going to have a slick marketing campaign with pretty pictures. It's going to take a lot more than that and a few official courses to convince the likes of me. I always preferred CLV's Augusta to the EA one anyway.

Won't waste my time or money on EA's ball steering, genetic swing, micro transaction, McIlroy rehash.
Their last game was rubbish! Don't expect anything to change.

EA has always had a sim mode. TW 14 sim mode was very difficult. Swing had a lot more risk reward and it was based off swing plan not just tempo. Way more immersive. The putting was lacking when compared to TGC but we did not know any better at the time. The short game from memory was decent and you could hit splash shots and increase spin with any club with the aim marker on the ball.
Love how people say they are not buying a game before they even know anything about it.
The one thing that will interest me the most is the online play which I am betting will be much better than this game.

I can count the times I have played the official courses from 2k since week 2 of release....exactly none. The best designers in this game have more imagination in the little finger than EA could ever muster. Fires up demon’s hellion. |

And I agree with the fact that the designers here are ultra talented. I sometimes am amazed I can even say I have approved TGCT courses, because my skill level is so far below that of the top designers. But, believe it or not, some people who buy a PGA TOUR-branded game want to play a career mode with the major championships in them at the official courses. While some folks out there are fine with playing fictional courses every day, there are people who could not care less about fake created courses and just want to play the ones they see on TV, on Tour, etc. I am not saying either way is wrong, or better than the other. I'm just saying that a game that offers more in the way of real-life, licensed courses with major championships in it, is appealing to a lot of people. This is why having two golf games is going to be great, as each one is likely to cater to a different set of virtual golfers. And if each game appeals to a person, they can buy 'em both and have the best of both worlds! |

The thing is like he said the best recreated courses are not HB's official courses they are made using the game's course designer by very talented people. I don't play fantasy courses either, just RCRs I have little interest in single player career modes anymore when I can play a different RCR from around the world each week in a society against real people not a fictional leaderboard. The problem also lies with EA's new game is new courses. We have played most of the courses on their list countless times over the years throughout various golf games. I am still discovering great RCR's in England and Norway recently.A course designer brings so much to a golf game and it's a vital tool to a great golf game. |

I am still discovering great RCR's in England and Norway recently.A course designer brings so much to a golf game and a vital tool to a great golf game. Sure, I love playing RCRs, too. In fact, I mostly only create RCRs myself. But again...there are lots of people out there who don't want to play courses that aren't the ones the pros play. Stepping away from the TGCT bubble, and just looking a 2K21's social media accounts show that lots of gamers want to play Augusta, Pebble Beach, St. Andrews...and they want to do so playing as real pros. This is why EA is coming back. Yes, 2K has the course creator, and it's wonderful. But 2K also lacks a lot of the desirable licenses from the real world of golf. EA's game seems to be going after that gap. And, again, that's why having two competing golf titles will give everyone options to choose from, and hopefully spur innovation via competition. |

Tigers SIM mode and even the Tournament mode was harder than 2k21 Masters mode, a lot of people either didn't play this or have forgot A lot of negativity surrounding this news, don't understand it myself, look at the state of 2ks online mode it's pathetic, EAs will be a proper experience you can guarantee that |

One awesome thing TW14 had was live dynamic weather for online play powered by the weather channel. Was so awesome. You could look up the weather for a course and it would be spot on. Ohh and rain actually affected the course.
Your clothes moved as well in the wind.
I think we will see some serious progress from 14. I'm excited.
That and BF 6.
I'm tempted to dig out the 360 and run it.
EA should have made 14 backwards compatible.
