EA Sports PGA TOUR Impressions (Console)

[Thadeus]

I'm very impressed. Graphics on the pc are outstanding, and it runs very well. I don't need a perfect representation of golf like some on here, so I am very happy with it so far. I find it to be challenging enough for my skill set. Don't listen to the people who say it's on the arcade side, that's b.s.

I’m not going to make any hard judgements since I don’t have the game to play right now, but yeah the swing just looks too slow from the streams and vids I’ve watched. I would recommend anyone try out the fast (how many tempo settings beyond normal do they have?) swing tempo on a created golfer and see how that plays, I’m probably going to go straight to that when I pick up the game. Regardless though that’ll be disappointing to be stuck on that slow speed for the pros, I wonder if they have a global setting for swing tempo and if not, why not provide it? Surely they couldn’t have looked at these swings in production and thought they weren’t slow.

Just watching videos and streams....man, this game looks so, so, so good.

I'm usually not a huge "visuals-being-important" guy, but wow I am jealous that the courses in the golf series I can play on PS4 do NOT look like this!

I changed it from normal to fast (that's the only level you can go up), and it appears to not change the actual speed of the swing, but reduces the percentage of "fast" in the feedback meter. So it's almost like an aid...I always tend to swing too fast, which is why I constantly draw or hook in 2k because of the tempo feature. In this one, switching from normal swing speed to fast just compensates for how fast you normally swing, and reduces the percentage that you're swinging too fast.

That said, I haven't noticed any punishment or outcome difference if I swing 1.2% fast verses 3.4% too fast. The ball is just going almost dead straight no matter how wobbly my swing path feedback is, or if I'm perfect, a little fast, or very fast. I still can't figure out how to change the difficulty from Tour to Sim, so hopefully there's more to it on the harder level. I can't find how to switch?

But damn does it look good.

I have Series X and preordered the Deluxe Edition but have no access. Is it just PC?

Really? That’s a shame… I was hoping that swing tempo would be there to give us an option with a faster swing. I can deal with the slower swing personally, but it’s not realistic that’s for sure.

And yeah this game looks phenomenal.
