Customer Ratings & Reviews

I normally do not write reviews of products, but I felt compelled to share my thoughts on this game. I have played EA golf’s games for a few years now and enjoyed playing them. I liked the progress of the game from year to year and they even inspired me to play real-life golf. Like many of you, I was looking for to playing EA golf on the next gen console. Sadly to say, many of the reviews are dead on. If you are looking for this game to be similar to TW 14 and that is one of the main reasons why you are buying it, then save your money. There are around 12 golfers and about 8 real courses. There are some fantasy courses that you can play as well. The game play is fair and the graphics are okay. The camera angle can be a bit tricky if you are using the zoom feature to see the arc of the ball (a feature you can turn on/off). I wish I could zoom in like I could on TW14. The graphics are okay. The fast load times are somewhat true. They are shorter than previous versions, but there is a slight delay between holes. I do feel that some of the greens are too bright and I wish I could control that without having to adjust my TV. The menus do look a bit generic. The stats that are kept are okay. I have to stroll through the list to see where my golfer ranks in each category. I am not a fan of how I have to select the category either. Speaking of the created golfer, it is a step back. I was looking forward to creating a golfer with my face. You have limited options on face, head, eyes, body type, etc. The commentary is okay. After a while, it does get repetitive and it is not that exciting. I do like the fact that they can recall how you played holes in the previous round of a tournament. The celebrations are a bit excessive. Who does the robot after a par on the second hole of the first round of a tournament? Seeing animals just strolling around the course is funny and weird at the same time. Seeing the crowd animations is nice. Some folks are walking around as you are playing a hole. At times however, folks will just stand there and get hit by the ball; we all know that is not realistic. I have yet to try the night mode. I am mostly into tournament play so that I can develop my created golfer. By the way, the points (XP) that you earn from playing rounds are automatically assigned for you, unlike in the past where you could choose which attribute (power, putting, etc.) you wanted to assign your points to. You can choose the type of golfer you want to be (Balanced, Precision, Up and Down, etc.) which raises abilities in one category and lowers them in others. There is no schedule so you can see which tournament is next. There are no country clubs and no Augusta. There is no real-time weather from what I can tell. I gave the game three stars because when I realized and accepted that features when compared to TW 14. I do like the game play for now. From what I read, EA is going to release patches and content for the game; some may be free but most of it I can imagine will be for pay. I hope this will be the case. Supposedly, EA will update this game and not make a new one new year; this is something that I will have to witness to believe. I hope this helps.

This video game has great video graphics, but I do feel that it is geared to those individuals who actually play golf. The touring level is difficult to master and the controller is very sensitive in the back and front swings.

My husband bought this game, he had been told it was really fun and the graphics were amazing. He's liking it a lot, he totally agrees it is so much fun. Like all the previous EA PGA games, it's well made and challenging.

Great game! If you have played tiger then your pretty much getting the same thing. The only done part are the courses but hopefully they come out with more soon here!

Seems like a good reboot of the TW franchise. Fun to play, decent enough options to be fun, but overall just good. The graphics are a bit of a let down to be honest. At this point I guess I expect a level of realism that is second to nothing. The menus and the courses (tee to green) for the most part look terrific, but there is a lot to be desired with the details and the backgrounds. The animals on the course look terrible, the player is about average at best and the clubs could use a bit more customization. Car games seem to have better licensing agreements than this game. It's fun, if you like golf you will like this. It will be interesting to see how many new courses come available and how much they will actually cost...

The gameplay is easy to pick up and play for any level of gamer. It has 3 different styles of play to suit your preference. Lacking some gameplay features from older games. But overall a fun game to play

While this game is beautiful to look at and fun to play, what it lacks can sometimes hinder your enjoyment. The lack of create-a-player options and only 8 courses available to play really limits what could have been a great debut for the franchise into next-gen consoles. If you're a golf fan, you'll enjoy it and the Night Golf feature brings an arcade feel to the game. Hopefully next year's installment will have deeper options and add to its' replay value.

Cool new game for the Xbox one. Graphics are amazing and putting is difficult. Wish there were a few more courses but I'm sure they will have DLC

The key point on this game is the different playing modes that you can choose on the menu to suit your gaming needs for the day. Pretty good graphics and easy to understand controls.

This is a great game to replace the TW:PGA Tour series. Although there arent very many golfers or courses, the gameplay is still good. Worth the buy if your a golf fan for sure.

I have always been a fan of the tiger woods pga tour games. This is the first next generation version of the game featuring Rory McElroy. The gameplay is fun like always but they really stripped the game down. There are only about 8 golfers in the game. Major names are not in the game at all such as 2015 pga champ Jason day, tiger woods, Dustin Johnson. There are also only 8 real life golf courses in the game. If they add more content via free dlc the game will be fixed. Overall fun game just missing a lot .

Love the mechanics of the swing, love the way you can compete in career mode with 5 hole games. Putting is a work in progress, it will take time to master the breaks.......

The graphics and ease of play are great, as expected. What I dislike is the mountainous range of missing features and gameplay that were included in previous carnations of this game, not to mention the lack of courses to play, included 6. Definitely not worth the price, Possibly worth half as much due to all of the missing content lack on online matches and no country clubs.

Not as good as Tiger Woods 14. Lacks extensive player customization and not as many courses to play. What happened to AGUSTA. Still fun to play.

This game is really fun. I hadn't bought a new golf game in about 5 years, and it was pretty cool to see one with the updated graphics. That being said, it's a little rough around the edges. I noticed it before I even played a round. There are a lot of graphical bugs where things will just appear, or disappear, when they shouldn't. I watched my caddy having a conversation with my player after a round. My player disappeared, but my caddy kept talking. This happens with the surroundings on the course as well. Other than that, it's pretty awesome.

I didn't think that this was the major leap forward that I was expecting out of the graphics or the game play. It's a good effort, but I was hoping for more. The limited number of courses, game modes and players don't really make this game worth it......at this time. At $29.99 or $39.99, I'd be happy to have it and keep adding courses and other content as they become available. Wait for it at those price points, and you shouldn't be disappointed.

Game play and loading is good but seems like something is missing. Limited course selection but if dlc truly comes will be decent.

many steps forward but too many steps back. This game has a lot to offer but is lacking in some features tiger woods used to have.

Game is decently good, graphics are awesome. Play is pretty good. Could of did a few more things to make a little better.

rory mcllroy golf is a great return for ea sports, i have missed this game, the game play is fluid, and have made it challenging for vets, but fun for newbies as well. the roster of golfers isn't very large and is missing some very notable golfers NOT named tiger woods. there could also be a few more courses, I'm guessing there will be a DLC for purchase down the road.
