The last two Courses are new maps made especially for the game.
Each of these real tracks has been studied by using drones, photogrammetry scanning,survey-grate GPS, and even a LiDAR helicopter. With such a thorough and sincere commitment to making each course feel almost real to the touch, EA Sports aims to take the series to the next level. But a game’s look and graphics are just one side of the coin as EA says that each of these tracks will have an in-game effect on the ball movements. Combining this with the three different time zones of the morning, midday, and late afternoon where conditions of haze, wind, and even lighting can result in massive changes to gameplay and feel.
Players will be able to tell intuitively how courses can affect the movement of the ball and EA hopes that they start to develop a feel for the game and its subtleties. Even the air and altitude of each track will affect the speed and distance with which the ball moves. All this combines to give players the most true-to-life recreation of an actual PGA tour to date.
That’s all the Courses you can try out in the upcoming EA Sports PGA Tour. Check out other Guides on your favorite games here at Gamer Tweak.
