Peering into the many meticulously constructed courses and seeing the animations as your player swings for the tee is the closest you will come to vicariously living out an actual high definition sports broadcast. Straight away you notice that this is a stunningly presented game. Even the inclusion of some of the defectors, including Brooks himself (presumably as the game was already in production beforehand), cannot take the shine off this one. There is a place for a technical, nuanced simulation of the sport, however, and as soon as I finished the recent preview of EA’s Tiger-replacing EA Sports PGA Tour, I had an inkling it was going to be a corker. In fact, the recent 2K23 left me reaching for the nearest copy of Everybody’s Golf, just so I could have some fun. The 2K titles have been a sort-of replacement for the classic Tiger Woods fronted sims of yore. The world of golf video games has been a bit in the doldrums for a while now. The Masters has been a memorable one, but not necessarily for the golf with falling pines interrupting proceedings and the sight of perhaps the jewel in the LIV’s crown, Brooks Koepka, leading the field after his morally reprehensible decision to align with Greg Norman. The acrimony around the sportswashed LIV Tour has left a bad taste in the mouth of many fans. It is a strange time for golf, and indeed EA Sports PGA Tour.
