Will there be a 3-click swing mechanic to play with? I enjoyed playing with it on Rory McIlroy PGA Tour. It would be a deal breaker for me if it wasn't available.

There's not going to be 3-clcik at launch. This was confirmed in the interview below but we also learned this is planned as an 'early' update for the game. Here's the relevant quote, with CP being game designer Craig Penner:OS: We have heard the 3-click swing option will be patched at a later date. Do you have a rough estimate on when that would be?CP: 3-Click is really important for the players, so an early Title update is the planned release.Source: https://www.operationsports.com/ea-sports-pga-tour-interview-with-development-team-gameplay/

Hey @HomeDiggity17 We don't have too much information yet, but the team has already shared some deep dive blogs on the mechanics of EA Sports PGA Tour:

Game Informer's article stated that EA aims to add the traditional three-click swing system in a title update after launch.

Here's the article to save others searching, where actually 'hopes' rather than 'aims' was the word used (subtly different):

Going by comments from someone at the press launch from the game in the video below, it does seem like it's more a question of when rather than if re. three-click being added to the game. It's a long video but it should start at the relevant part:

Deal breaker for me too if 3-click is not available. Really hope it's available.

If there is no Mouse 3-Click feature then it's a deal breaker for me as well. Mouse only on this PC, I do not and will not use a Controller. PC/Mouse have a bond.

I am playing on PC and have no controller. Does this mean I can't play EA Sports PGA Tour until the game is updated with a 3-click-swing or is there something like a mouse swing that I can use with my pc-mouse,

Yeah I won’t be getting the game until 3 click is added. Imo controller sticks are not made to be used in the way they are in these games for swinging.

it is often inaccurate and influenced from stick drift which is very common.
