    Good things come to those who wait. We waited years for EA Sports to deliver a quality golf game, and not only have they delivered a quality golf game, but they have delivered THE golf game by which all future games will be judged. EA SPORTS PGA TOUR isn't just a new golf game, it's the standard. Deep character development, tons of different shot types to master, focus on accuracy and experience and the deepest collection of utilized data pertaining to golfers and their shots and performance are just a few innovations in EA SPORTS PGA TOUR that make it the uncontested king of Golf. The question shouldn't be are you getting this game, but when. A few slight blemishes within the game do, exist but now that the bar has been set, all of us Golfing fans are eager to see where the future goes with this sport's representation in video games. Congratulations to EA Tiburon for creating the best Golf experience any gamer could ever play.

    EA Sports PGA Tour is an excellent return to the fairways for the studio, delivering the most realistic and deep golfing action currently available on consoles. There's a slick and rewarding sim to dig into here and, with recent new additions to the choice of control set-ups, it's an experience we thoroughly recommend to golfing pros and newcomers alike. With plenty of modes, top-notch presentation, best-in-class ball physics and a fine selection of courses to master, we can see ourselves spending plenty of time with this one in the weeks and months ahead.

    Not that it is recommended on a golf course, but EA have knocked it out of the park with EA SPORTS PGA TOUR. It is a welcome return for a series that no longer needs a golfing legend to grace the cover. And long overdue it has been too. The 2K PGA games have had us covered in recent years but there will only be room for one golf franchise going forward. Welcome back to the club, EA.

    Despite competition from PGA Tour 2K23, EA Sports PGA Tour manages to set itself apart with polished presentation, tight mechanics, and impressive visuals. While a shortage of customisation options is disappointing, there's no arguing with the overall quality that EA's return to video game golf has to offer.

    EA Sports PGA Tour is a great golf game, but not for everyone. It's difficult both to master and start playing, with enormous penalties for each mistake. Offline menus are full of content, but it still lacks online variety.

Where is the Alternating online play? I don't want to see a ball line I want to see the full players' swing et al. Also this game is really hard to get used to again. After playing Golf Club offerings, it really ruined my skills for EA Golf. Also there is not an option to start a different Career. Once you start one, you have to complete it with that golfer and your sign in… Full Review »

It's beautiful, fun, and has lots of great elements from the old EA golf games. The course selection is great as well.

    It's not currently stable though. This may be corrected with the day one patch, however, I can't even get through 3 holes without the game crashing. It's literally crashed 6 times in one round so far and I'm still on hole 15. Luckily it saves your hole by hole progress I guess.... The always online requirement is atrocious as well.    … Full Review »

    Firstly:
    The biggest issue I have with this game is analog stick swinging. When you first try it it's like you have a second of input lag. However that is not the case, the swinging mechanic is just bad. There are two main problems. Firstly your backswing decides power, but you dont stop backswinging when you pull the stick forward. You stop backswinging when you have finished your forward flick of the stick (which is supposed to be the forward swing). The second problem is the fact that you have to put the stick back to center. The forward swing isnt just the forward flick of the stick, but also the stick back to center. This ruins the timing for me. As a beginner you hold it at the top thinking your swing is done, but you end up getting a slow swing.

    Now aside from this, swinging is too forgiving. Even when you **** up, the ball still goes where you want it. I think the swinging mechanic needs a bit of an overhaul as this just isnt something you can get used to or have fun with imo.

    Second:
    Input lag! There is still up towards half a second worth of input lag in this game, tested through 3-click. It's absolutely stupid that this game stumbles on the main mechanic of the game. This may only be an xbox issue, so steer away from the xbox version if thats the case.

    These two issues make the game pretty bad. It's honestly disheartening because other than that it's pretty good. A lot of courses and a great presentation.

    Graphics are okay, theyre blurry and grainy, and foliage looks like it's completely still most of the time.    … Full Review »
