    There are 2 big issues:

    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.

    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.    … Expand

    Game looks pretty good and gameplay is ok. However, parts of the game are broken such as no quest progression or no tracking of completion of certain goals, etc.

    Videogame golf is in an interesting position. After years of not seeing any new entries, users are suddenly presented with two big-budget PGA titles fighting for their time. EA Sports PGA Tour certainly delivers a thorough, authentic golf simulation, but it’s also a divisive one. On one hand, the visuals of golf have never been displayed with more realism. On the other, the unresponsive mechanics completely removed me from the experience, ultimately driving me back to the simpler, more-playable 2K PGA Tour 2K23.

    EA Sports PGA Tour is a good comeback for virtual golf, but it's a live service game that still feels unfinished and occasionally clunky. It lacks the LPGA Tour and has a slow, glitchy interface with unintuitive elements. There are no tutorials or explanations for those unfamiliar with golf, but it's enjoyable for those who know the sport and will offer more over time.

    EA Sports PGA Tour bring you to the field again after a long stand by, but now it’s time to come back to try to be the best Golf player around the world. With impressive physics and amazing modes to get fun and a bunch of content. The king of the Golf is back.
