Rory McIlroy PGA TOUR coming in July

EA Sports has revealed the first gameplay features for Rory McIlroy PGA TOUR.

The golf title will offer multiple ways to play, including arcade controls where the left stick is used to control power and accuracy, with the ability to add spin to the shot while the ball is in the air. In addition to the arcade controls, the return of 3-Click swings will appeal to gamers who prefer to set power and accuracy by tapping a button. Those looking for an extra challenge can turn on Tour settings. When playing with Tour controls, the length of your backswing and speed of your follow through determine power, while the club path through the ball will be the most important factor in accounting for accuracy.

Fans can also mix and match all three settings to create their own custom gameplay style. Courses themselves also affect how your shots are played, as firmer, links-style courses like St. Andrews will provide more bounce and roll, while softer courses such as TPC Sawgrass will have less bounce and be more receptive to spin.

Full course loading offers new options when attacking the green and zero wait times when moving from hole-to-hole. The courses will include real locations as well as fantasy settings.

Rory McIlroy PGA TOUR is developed in Orlando, Florida by EA Tiburon and will be available for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 on July 16, 2015.
