I didn't see anything from a search, but has anyone played the new EA Rory golf game?   I was thinking about getting it for Xbox One but before I pulled the trigger I read some reviews that the game had some issues.   I stopped playing the earlier version (Tiger from several years ago) because the putting drove me crazy.  The prior EA Tiger version to that one was awesome, I really liked that.   And you felt like you really accomplished something when you beat Tiger at the end in a match.

I haven't actually played any of the newest ones, but from what I read the only major issue with the game was the lack of content (i.e. a lack of courses) at release.  I would assume that have remedied that by now, but I haven't looked into it for some time.

I could see that.   Xbox One has an insane patching system.   I got my console yesterday and spent an hour doing patches and updates on the console.   Then the controller.   Then I put in Halo 5 and it was updating when I went to sleep.   New courses being added should be easy...

I'd be ok with a small number of courses as long as the game play is good.  The old PC versions had 5 or 6 (then you could add on) and the fantasy courses are neat too.

I'm not sure if we have the newest Rory game or the one before it. Here are some thoughts:

1. Approach shots are really difficult for me. It seems like I can never predict if the ball is going to bounce forward or backward on any particular green. 

2. I'm not coordinated enough to hit the ball straight and power up the shot at the same time. My bruv has no such issues, so he's always got the advantage of watching my approach shots.

3. While the putting can be difficult at times, I think its generally fair.

4. The course selection is ok. More would always be nice. They also included fictional courses. While clever, I'd rather see real courses.

5. The announcers (Nobilo in particular) get annoying quick. They'll say sarcastic stuff and sometimes on a good shot.

6. Generally, I liked the feel of the older Tiger Woods games better. It's hard for me to really describe it better, but there's sort of a more mechanical feel with this game.

I haven't played the Rory game, but all the reviews I read when it came out were mediocre.

The Golf Club is the only other golf game for Xbox One. I do have that one, and it's solid. Half the price too.

The first version I had, putting was a little too easy.  The second version I had, it was horrible.  This was on the Wii and I had some type of extension to provide better accuracy on the controller.  I didn't last three holes with it.  Normal controller the putting was too hard.  A 8 foot putt that broke more than a little was impossible, more so that real life!

For the number of shots made in a game, they need many more comments.   It was very repetitive.  It gets grating if you play more than a couple of times per week.

I agree about the older games.   I think they were better and the custom options for your golfer got worse as time went on.   Less things to customize.

I saw that one too but didn't look into it enough.   I'll have to give it a second look.   Thanks!

I should have prefaced that we have Xbox One. The few times I've played anything on a Wii have been awkward to say the least.

The system I was thinking of getting it for was the Xbox One.   The prior versions were on the Wii.   The first version on the Wii was great, I had a nice repeatable swing.   On the second, not so much.  But it was more the putting.

Have not played the new Rory game but did used to play Tiger Woods quite often. It's funny I beat my buddy at Tiger Woods once, and he is a scratch golfer in real life. His response: "you know this is not like real golf right"? Haha..

I like to play WGT Golf on my phone.

I play the rory game often on xbox one.  My favorite game was the TW Masters edition on 360.  Regarding the rory game, I'm mostly happy with it.  I would've liked to see more courses.  But the head 2 head game mode is fun.  I hope they really step it up for the next game, when ever that is.  They took a backwards step with this game, overall.  I play it just as well as any of the others, but it's not as diverse overall.

Last golf video game i played came with like 5 courses and you had to buy the other 20 after shelling out $50 to pay for the game. F that. Having picked up a golf video game since. This was like 6-7 years ago. 


  • 2 months later...

I got Tiger Woods 2010 at Gamestop the other day for $0.45... I also grabbed 2013 for $1.10.

With prices like this I dont know if can afford to golf next year!!! :whistle:

I took my old Nintendo out last weekend to play some old relics and had a ton of fun with the golf on it.  You guys remember that game?

I can't go that far, but my favorite old-ish golf game was Peter Jacobsons Goldten Tee golf on playstation 1.  I know they have the arcade style still, but this on the PS1 was a lot of fun when I was a kid.

For you guys that play Tiger Woods/PGA Tour on the Wii, do you use a real practice swing with the controller, or do you do the little underhanded toss I see most gamers use?

    • If you still have that code available, I would love to get a copy. We have PowerShell code that pulls indexes and individual 9-hole handicaps for the tee sets of the course we play. We have 40 players and use this data for skins. We do skins by flight which we have 4 of them A,B,C,D and without pulling this data it would be almost impossible to do in the application. Right now, we also grab each "card" as it comes off the course and put it into a spreadsheet to help us understand who won the round and helps us with skins. Each golfer is required to enter their own scores in GHIN also. Our goal is to have each golfer enter in the scores in GHIN but pull the individual hole scores down each week after the round is posted so that we can figure skins, and points. I found a site for APIs, but it is old referencing https://api.ghin.com/api/v1. Our current code uses https://api2.ghin.com/api/v1. I tried using that along with what was provided in the old doc, but it appears many of the API signatures changed. I'm hoping I can use the python code to get examples of the API calls I need. if nothing else I could recode ours to use python.
    • This is pretty interesting. I don't have a Stack radar so I can't use the app, but given what they say it should be fairly easy to come up with some kind of proxy to it if I spend an hour with a trackman. Just note what ball speed gives what distances and plot it. It's presumably not directly linear, but if you hit 50 shots between 30 and 100 yards, you'll have enough to pin down most yardages in that window (yards vs ball speed). Then rather than trying to match distances, just try to match ball speeds with whatever radar you do have. The whole strokes gained thing would be more difficult, but that's not really necessary to work on it. Or just buy a Stack radar...
    • I don't think that is what the study was showing. It just showed that golfers who spent less time over the ball performed better. It didn't say pending their normal pace.
    • No…? When we edit the title of topics, a little note appears.
    • Rush or delay your own pace and you are probably going to suffer in the long run. PGA pro are well oiled machines that work on an specific pace, it's not surprise that if you move them out of their normal routine things are going to go sideways. I normally don't rush shots, but I sometimes delay the trigger if I'm not feeling it. The result is a lack of athleticism, I kind of get a little stiff and I could loose some yards and accuracy.
