It is simply amazing. EA is calling it a MMORPG golf game. Finally, a sports game with a MMORPG feel. This is going to be just a starting point I think for EA where they take their sports franchises to the next level, and turn them into successful MMORPG's.
You can create your own golfer, and just like an MMORPG your golfer gains levels the better you play. You play tournaments, and are able to chat with players just like an MMORPG. Is this a guys dream come true? It is like having your cake, and eating too. What guy wouldn't like to play an MMORPG sports game?
I am a huge golf fan myself, but actually never played the game myself. I have always wanted too, and now EA has just made a lifelong dream of mine come true. It is just exciting to me.
It is unfortunate though with the whole Tiger Woods scandal. Will it not be successful just because of his name being on the title? I think people will eventually forgive him. How can you not forgive a guy who means so much to golf?
Anyways I suggest you check out this new Tiger Woods Golf MMORPG. It is browser based, and is free. It is currently in beta.
The thing that surprises me the most is with all the player data they have from their MMORPG's like UO, WAR, SWTOR beta signups, and etc that they haven't used it to market this new golf MMORPG.
