I'm just curious where everyone stands at the moment. When I saw that ridiculous trailer with the battleship last year, I thought that EA had lost their minds. There hasn't been any mention of it since then, though, so I'm assuming that it's just some optional rubbish that I don't have to bother with if I don't want to.

I have to admit that the visuals that are being released for Rory's game look pretty damn good and have gotten my attention. I think The Golf Club is fantastic and I've played well over 100 rounds, but being able to compete on some real courses would be a nice change of pace. The Golf Club also isn't the most multiplayer-friendly game out there. I'm hoping that Rory PGA will include some options that will make competing head-to-head a little more engaging.

The removal of the diagonal swing for straight shots that was present in TW 14 is also a big selling point for me. It wasn't very intuitive, and I'm happy to see it's removal.

There's still a lot that we don't know about Rory PGA Tour, but at this point I'm sold on picking it up unless something is uncovered that sways me in the other direction. How do you guys feel?

I'm picking it up for sure. The Golf Club has it's place as does Rory PGA. Like you kind of hinted at in your post TGC is fun for the user generated courses and the like but I do miss playing real courses like St. Andrews, TPC Sawgrass, etc. I miss the career mode as well. Also being able to play legitimate rounds of online golf is something I dearly miss from TW14.

Haven't seen enough yet to make a decision...

Yup, had my preorder set from GameStop for a few months already. Course list is looking great so far. Hoping to see what the presentation is going to be like and maybe for some off screan footage from e3

LingeringRegime · 05-14-2015, 08:12 AM

I will be getting it.

I really like the gameplay customization options.

Plus, the first EA Sports Golf game for the new generation always delivers in terms of graphical pop.

I'll hold off until reviews come out. Screenshots look promising though.

I need to see some real actual gameplay footage, and a few positive reviews would be nice. At this point, I'm probably split 50/50. A nice, long final list of courses would sway the decision for sure. With The Golf Club and all the wonderful enhancements that have been made/are coming in this update/next update I really need to be wowed by anything EA makes. I've finally had a chance to see the grass on the other side of the fence and it really is a much deeper shade of green.

Day one for me if it had move support. I know I'm in the minority, but I love Tiger 13 with the move, in fact I just purchased 14 on ebay and its arriving today. I was hoping TGC or RMPT would implement it but that looks like it won't be the case.
