Freemium junk

Tiger Woods 12 was great, then it got freemium’d up and became impossible. Now the official PGA game is this hunk of junk. It would be nice to have a legitimate golf game on mobile again, but EA just makes garbage these days. I can’t believe EA’s customers/suckers don’t realize that this is just another pay to win “game” with a golf theme. Oh well. Maybe a better company will be able to acquire the PGA license in the future. Probably not, but here’s hoping...

Money Grab, Otherwise not bad

The game starts out great - nice graphics and gameplay, simple pick-up-and-play design. Unfortunately, it’s no coincidence that the “Rate this app now” message comes up so early. Once you advance to a certain point (20-30 “events” or challenges), it becomes substantially more difficult to complete the level, your limited number of golf balls is exhausted, and you have to wait to earn more (20 minutes per ball) or pay real $$$. Since these advanced levels can take you four or five times to get the distance/spin/swing correct, it almost becomes standard to run out of your 5 golf balls (= 5 event tries) each time. After seeing what EA has done to Madden Mobile in shifting it towards a money grab, I guess that has become the norm now for their stuff. This one can still be somewhat enjoyable if you don’t mind the game dictating when you can play, or just paying to play, but it could be less egregious.
