The Prologue also introduces you to the new Frostbite 3 engine-powered courses, which look appreciably superior than the links of the last generation – even if some of the textures are a little flat and a lot of the course features tend to pop in around the path of the ball’s flight. The new open world nature of each course also eliminates the load times between holes, and means poorly placed shots can now be played from out of bounds rather than incurring an automatic stroke penalty as before, which adds to the realism.
However it’s not long after the game’s opening – an exciting race to first place in the dying stages of the US Open interspersed with insightful words from McIlroy himself – that the cracks begin to show. From the very first glance at the game’s main menu it’s clear that Rory McIlroy PGA Tour is substantially light on features compared to the last gen Tiger Woods games.
Stacked up against the two-year-old Tiger Woods PGA Tour 14, the new game has roughly half the number of courses to play on, about a quarter of the licensed players to choose from (with both the Legends and the female LPGA players gone entirely), and a create-a-player tool that ditches the customary eyebrow shaping and body sculpting of the older game in favour of a handful of set templates that are almost guaranteed to look absolutely nothing like you.
Instead, you just get shunted from one tournament to another with no schedule to indicate what’s on the horizon beyond your next competition, and if you manage to win a tournament your prize is a static, text-based congratulations message with no trophy room to show off your spoils nor indication of how much prize money you’ve actually earned. Indeed it’s telling that the career mode defaults to a ‘quick round’ setting, reducing each tournament to a select handful of holes per round rather than the full four rounds of 18; it’s almost as though even the game knows you’ll want to get this over and done with as fast possible. Certainly if a professional career in golf was really this unrewarding and directionless,
