EA Sports PGA Tour

EA Sports PGA Tour is an advanced, officially licensed golf simulator featuring actual courses and players. It was developed by Electronic Arts. It's the first game of this genre developed by the studio since 2014.

Mechanics

EA Sports PGA Tour is a typical simulator, emphasizing realism above all else. We play as a golfer participating in various competitions. The developers have prepared three primary control schemes. The first one - Arcade - has the player hit the ball by correctly tilting the displayed part of the controller (such as an analog stick). Classic, as the name suggests, is more in line with oldschool golf games. It causes indicators of strength and direction to appear on the screen. To hit the ball, we must press the button at the right time, when the indicator's at the right spot. The last scheme, Tour, is designed for more advanced players, letting them precisely control each aspect of the swing and deactivating all assists. It is also possible to customize the gameplay yourself.

Since the game is officially licensed by PGA Tour, it takes place on faithfully reproduced courses such as the Augusta National Golf Club and the Wilmington Country Club. We'll also get an opportunity to participate in the biggest golf competitions in the world, such as PGA Championship, competing against the sport's most famous stars.

Game modes

EA Sports PGA Tour features a singleplayer career mode called "Road to the Masters". It lets us gradually progress up the worldly rankings, taking part in increasingly more prestigious competitions. In singleplayer we can also take part in series of challenges and time-limited tournaments.

The game also features competitive multiplayer for up to 16 players.

Technical aspects

EA Sports PGA Tour runs on the Frostbite engine.
