Let's hear from you golf game fans :yep:

 

[Swarley]

Why'd you decide to design a golf game with procedurally generated courses instead of real-life locales?

 

[Maynard]

nothing worse than playing a 4 round tourney and beating the field by 15 shots. i would like to know about the difficulty in the game. is it going to feel realistic and will the field play a competitive tourney and keep the scores close.

Also would like to know about online play and if there will be any type of league setup

 

[MrBill]

Any other questions? The interview is going to be starting up at 12PM central.

 

[buckeye]

What type of onine play modes are we looking at? any thought to online leagues or tournaments?

 

[buckeye]

Is there a golfer progression system or any sort of unlockable system for better clubs/gear?

 

[Swarley]

Is there a golfer progression system or any sort of unlockable system for better clubs/gear?

It's already been announced that their will not be, but you could change it to "Why did you decide to go with a non-progression system over a progression system" or something like that.

 

[Maynard]

i thought i read there is a create a course feature....if thats true can they discuss it and give some detail?

Like to know about the player creator features.
Also if there is a editor for the existing tour pros and will we be able to edit them like you could in the show or other games that use generic players.

what about the offline modes. will we have all the standard play modes? will their be a career or season mode?

is it available on all platforms?

what is the release date?

any plans for DLC?

will they feature gear from rear manufactures (ping, taylor made ect)

any live tourneys online (like TW had)

ask them about the on the course gameplay. like the swing, putting grid, caddy assist...just the general way you play the game and how the control works.

 

[Maynard]

also, since there is no player progression, how will a individual make themselves better? obviously some players can putt better than others and some have more power or a better short game....is everyone just going to be completely vanilla? or will you have points to distribute once when you make your player and thats your player.

seems odd not to allow for player improvement so i am really interested in seeing how this will work in this game

 

[zip]

Will you have a version that works with golf simulators and if so, when?

 

[MrBill]

Thanks for all of the questions guys. I might have been able to get you into the closed beta if you are interested Maynard.

 

[mrchristhefool]

Just in for work so guess this will be too late but wanted to ask if...

1) Courses created on the pc version will be playable on the other platforms and vice versa?

2) Will cross platform play be available?

3) Any closer to knowing a date for early access? Is early access much different to the implementation of a closed beta?

Looking forward to this game!
