Patch Notes 4.0 Discussion
https://www.ea.com/games/ea-sports-pga-tour/news/ea-sports-pga-tour-patch-notes-4 Lets start with the obvious points - No online game modes - No 60 FPS - No 1 round career mode For a golf game...
I'm on PC so can't speak to 60 FPS etc, but if played on a console that would be nice. I see Starfield is coming out in 30fps apparently..eek.
When reading the patch notes I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of fixes. I hope this now frees them up to look at requested items like a replay camera(even a rudimentary one would be nice) and the ability to play against created players by friends and family as AI.
One that worried me when reading the patch notes was the removal of the notch on the swing meter. Not a fan of change I guess lol. Played a couple of the daily tournaments and now like it. I wasn't sure what the removal meant and what we are to do now, but I quickly figured out you only see the swing up to where the notch would have been, and going past that is where you get more power along the risk/reward as it starts to turn red.
The other curious thing I saw was 'TPC Scottsdale: Fix for the caddie being visible while playing holes 17 and 18'. I actually really liked that. Seem more tournament-like and had no idea the caddie reacts to your shots! Maybe there is a better way to put the caddie back, like just off the green but still in eyesight, plus adding this to all courses, at least in tournament modes. I've seen some complain you never see your caddie, and I agree, this could be way to fix that and make it feel more like a tournament environment. 👍
Glad to hear more items are coming to the store! I had my golfer setup to look like he has a Ping sponsorship but decided to change to TaylorMade. Just going through the challenge and hope to get their golf bag. Would sure like to see covers to be able to use like they have for Ping. As well a TaylorMade Tour hat would be great(maybe with TaylorMade on the front and the Stealth 2 on sides ore something) LIKE THIS . Plus adding the Stealth 2 3W to store would be great too. WIth the added items, the store will start to feel more fully fleshed out, which is exciting. I will note that the new additions timer currently says 365 days, which I'm sure isn't correct lol.
For a PC player, I see a lot of positives from the patch.
the notch can be put back. Go to your settings to change the swing arc thing back to classic
