Re: The PGA Tour Community Wishlist - Add yours!

Here's what is sadly lacking in the whole of the games industry. Please stop catering to the lowest previous gen hardware specifications. Consoles and low spec PC hardware are holding back the games industry. Only the latest graphics and processing should be used to progress the whole of the gaming industry with more powerful graphics and processing.

MY WISHLIST FOR EA PGA TOUR

1. Please please for goodness sake include animated golf balls which have dimples on them. Can't believe it's a golf game without there being dimples on the balls which animate. Also include golf brand text and logo's on the balls such as Titleast etc.

2. It's time we had dynamic animated worlds, I'm fed up seeing static, lifeless, boring, still un-animated worlds. Golf games should be full of life, there should be thousands of dynamic animated scenery object assets. Just like in real life everything should be moving with physics, we shouldn't have lifeless boring static scenery. Every time a game is played it should never once be the same. No lazy cloned instances of objects. Courses should by now have dynamic randomly placed divot marks scattered over each fairway, never once being in the same locations. Different depth divot marks and ground damage, all different sized divots, build up of rain puddles. Dynamic weather systems, leaves falling off trees, trees blowing in the wind and breeze. Fallen trees, tree stumps, different lengths of grass, shrubbery, flowers etc all dynamically animated. Nothing should be still except for rigid sturdy objects which do not physically move with weather systems. Dynamic animated wild life everywhere, each and every time different, wildlife walking and running across the course. All sorts of bird breeds, deer, squirrels, etc etc moving and flying all over the place each play through different. Animated flags, advertising boards, lights, smoke, mist, industrial chimney smoke, streaks of contrail smoke from aeroplanes/jets. Lights turning off and on in houses, boats, people fishing, people walking. Other animated golfers playing on different holes around the course, golf buggies, animate everything. We need thousands upon thousands of dynamically animated course scenery objects. Bring the courses and worlds to life with animation eye candy.       

3. Instead of annoying course commentators. Animated unscripted caddies which actually speak and give advice, hand you the clubs out of bags, look at yardage books, speak of weather conditions, walk around greens, rake bunkers and replace divots. Hundreds and thousands of animated player mannerisms, reaction sounds and animations, to shots. Different sized golfers, include all ages and sizes, tall, small, obese, thin, skin colour, hair styles etc etc.

4. Move the entire game engine to the latest Unreal Engine 5. Allow full course editor and animation system for the modding community to create their dream courses.

Please please EA let's have courses and worlds brought to life with next generation dynamically generated animation assets everywhere.
