![]() ![]() ![]() At first I found it difficult and frustrating but, as I invested more time and encountered more courses (and therefore greens), I learnt to appreciate the learning curve and was rewarded for sensible putting and balanced shotmaking. In some other sports games I’ve felt the need to mute commentary and embrace the silence here I was eager to digest every word on offer and simply relish how much I could glean from it.Īnother standout aspect of the gameplay is putting. If I was on a hole or course I wasn’t familiar with, I’d be helpfully guided to avoid a certain tricky bunker or aim for a kinder area of the fairway. The voices, provided by Rich Lerner, Frank Nobilo, Notah Begay III, Iona Stephen and Nick Faldo, offer genuinely useful tips and insightful analysis.

Playing St Andrews really felt like playing the historic and unforgiving course, while stepping out onto Augusta possessed the pizzazz the home of the Masters should. The courses, 30 at launch with more promised in the near future, look magnificent and are rendered accurately. Everything from Swing Mechanic to Putting Aim Point is on the table for players to tweak, ensuring the course in front of them is exactly what they want and the level of assists and subsequent gameplay challenge is tailored to their experience level and familiarity with the series. The ‘Gameplay’ menu all players complete before beginning the game is similarly detailed. The UI is comprehensive and intuitive, while the inclusion of features like color-blind mode from the off make it welcoming and reflect the polish I’ve come to expect from EA Sports titles.

That compares to 17 male golfers in the launch version: Scottie Scheffler, Patrick Cantlay, Xander Schauffele, Tony Finau, Dustin Johnson, Sungjae Kim, Joaquin Niemann, Hideki Matsuyama, Jordan Spieth, Bryson DeChambeau, Brooks Koepka, Jason Day, Harold Varner III, Bubba Watson, Abraham Ancer, Cameron Champ and Ian Poulter. There’s the presence of The Amundi Evian Championship and five women golfers: Nelly Korda, Jessica Korda, Lexi Thompson, Jin-Young Ko and Danielle Kang. ![]()
