One stage up is the classic style, a traditional three-click swing that will be familar to anyone who has played a golf sim in the last 20 years. ![]() It’s a great option for beginners, but it will quickly leave you wanting more. You can add shape to the ball or adjust the trajectory, but as long as you apply an easy swing, the ball will end up exactly where you want it. You just flick the left analogue stick back and forward in a fluid motion and McIlroy does the rest. The arcade swing is the easiest to control and lets you start hitting shots with laser beam-like accuracy. There are three interfaces to choose, catering to different skill levels. The true purpose of the opening, though, is to introduce both newcomers and PGA veterans to the game’s revamped swing mechanics. It is unusually candid, offering a lot more insight than most golfers ever would in a TV interview. But the nostalgia fades as McIlroy, directly addressing the player, talks about how it feels to stand on the opening tee in the final round of a major championship. It feels strange to begin the “Prologue” section of the game and find McIlroy staring back at you recanting his own experiences, rather than reliving some of Tiger’s many achievements. ![]() Now Rory McIlroy, who looks just as fiercely motivated and skilled as the young Tiger once did, will front a fresh chapter for the series.Īt first, long-time fans will most likely find the absence of Woods jarring.

Rory McIlroy PGA Tour was praised for its enhanced gameplay but it wasn't enough to overcome the skimpy offerings - just 12 courses, eight of them real - at launch. By comparison, the final three editions of the preceding Tiger Woods PGA Tour series had 16 to 20 courses in the main release.Īdditionally, real-life golfers Dustin Johnson and Henrik Stenson will be added to the roster of players, and one-off play will offer skins, four ball, alternate shot and best ball formats, as had been available in past series. That will bring to 18 the number of courses in the game, all either on the disc or free to download. ![]() There was no specific detail on how the four new courses would be incorporated into the game's career. ![]() Rory McIlroy PGA Tour added TPC Scottsdale in August and East Lake Golf Club in September and with them, two additional events in the career mode. The additions, plus two other free courses already released, should help soothe disappointment over the skimpy offerings the golf title had offered at launch.ĮA Sports didn't give a specific timeline for the new course inclusions, but there will be four - Quail Hollow Club of Charlotte, NC, TPC Stadium at PGA West in La Quinta, CA, Oakmont Country Club in suburban Pittsburgh, and Treasure Island, a fictitious course. Another three real-world courses and four modes of play will be added into Rory McIlroy PGA Tour by March, EA Sports announced today.
