EA Sports PGA Tour Frequently Asked Questions
Why is this game only accessible via current-generation gaming platforms (PS5, Xbox X|S, and PC)?
What is the FPS for EA SPORTS PGA TOUR?
“EA SPORTS PGA TOUR for PC may be played with 30, 60, or unlocked framerates. The frame rate on consoles (PS 5 and Xbox X|S) will be 30.
We are aware that certain gamers have a strong preference for video games with higher framerates. The game’s console frame rate has drawn criticism from the community. We are thus investigating the possibility of including it in the game.”
What is the current live service timeline?
“The major championship courses for 2023, including Marco Simone for the Ryder Cup and Oak Hill, Los Angeles Country Club, Royal Liverpool, and Olympia Fields for the FedExCup series, will be made public before each major event.
Alongside the major tournaments, the FedExCup, and the Ryder Cup, we will also offer updates that feature exciting new material related to recent and classic golf events for players to enjoy.
Various challenges with a Masters theme will be included in the game’s Road to the Master’s launch. After the launch, we’ll provide further information regarding the timeline for the live service.
Is there weather available in-game?
“Play on the course is affected by many variables, such as wind and altitude. Courses like The Old Course at St. Andrews will appear cloudy in places that typically have cloudy weather. For example, the Ocean Course at Kiawah Island will appear bright on sunny days. Other weather conditions won’t impact gameplay or show up in the game.”
Will there be a 3-click swing option in-game?
“We know the significance of the 3-click swing for the neighborhood. In response to early community input, we want to integrate this swing in a preliminary title update following the launch.”
What impacts your shot?
“You’ll encounter this in the pre-shot decisions you’ll have to make for a fantastic shot because golfers and caddies converse before their shot to best accomplish success on the course. Your shot’s difficulty is divided between pre-shot choices, including the club to use, and shot types, with swing execution and placement based on the course’s dynamics. As a result, you’ll think more generally about golf and less about the swing.
Your shot is affected by many variables, including the club and shot style. Yet, factors like wind, altitude, terrain reactions, ball dribbling, and more will affect the course dynamics and the shot you take. The following is a complete list of factors that affect your shot:
- Club
- Shot type
- Shot shape
- The slope of the terrain
- Velocity & spin reduction from adverse terrain (like rough)
- Golfer, club, and ball attributes
- Power boost
- Swing execution
- Wind
- In-flight Spin Control
- Altitude
- Ball Reactions depending on terrain type and course Conditions
- Ball dribbling
