EA SPORTS Rory McIlroy PGA TOUR is the first sports game to utilize the power of Frostbite 3. Full course rendering completely eliminates in-round loading between holes, and opens up the game in new ways.
Hitting a shot off-target is no longer necessarily an automatic out of bounds and two-stroke penalty, and may result in players hitting their next shot from a completely unexpected (yet in-play) position.
New to this year’s game is the Quick Rounds feature, which provides a selection of holes to play each round of a tournament, rather than requiring players to complete all 18 holes each day. You’ll enter each day of the tournament at a different point in the round, with simulated holes based on your player’s ratings and attribute bonuses.
Once you’ve played your selection of holes, the remainder of the round (if you don’t finish on 18) will also be simulated. Players will always complete the final holes on the last day of a tournament, so the ultimate outcome is always up to you.
Below is a quick look at some of the other additions and improvements that have been made:
CROWD AND TOURNAMENT STRUCTURES
Feel the intensity during tournaments as massive galleries and tournament structures populate the course.
GOLF CHANNEL INTEGRATION
EA SPORTS Rory McIlroy PGA TOUR sounds and looks better than any golf game before it, thanks to all-new commentary from Frank Nobilo and Rich Lerner of Golf Channel. In addition to the commentary from Rich and Frank, players will experience authentic NBC Golf Channel broadcast graphics within respective Golf Channel broadcasted tournaments.
