@ELF014 This is going to sound sarcastic and I really don’t mean it like that but the only thing that will get a golf game right is real golf 😆
I’ve been playing golf games since 1985’s Nick Faldo Plays The Open which i played on the Commodore 64 (and STILL more challenging than EA’s latest!). I have a soft spot for EA’s early efforts like PGA Tour 2 and still have some pre-Rory McIlroy PGA games and I’d still choose even PGA Tour 2 over their latest effort and that game came out over 30 years ago
I remember checking out the jacket cover of PGA Tour 2 at Compucenter, and purchasing it thinking it couldn't have everything it was promising in the game.
I couldn't believe that yes... you were actually playing in a simulated tournament with updates. Yes it was just a text update on the screen.
But it was truly innovative compared to what existed previously. But then so were all of Electronic Arts Sports titles back then. That is when they actually lived up to their motto of "If it's in the game... it's in the game".
I stepped away from gaming for decades. While the visual aspects of gaming has improved exponentially... innovation and creatively hasn't.
As I keep saying dressing up a pig in lipstick shouldn't be enough. We deserve much more than that... consumers have become complacent and seem to accept what is being shovelled to them.
IT'S JUST A GAME... shouldn't be an acceptable answer. As consumers we should expect continued growth... that current content should improve on the previous.
A lot of us consumers have become sheep and accept what we are being fed.
The cost of the feed keeps going up... but what we are receiving is of less quality.
