Ea Sports Pga Tour Delayed To Next Year
EA Sports has announced that it is pushing back the release of its upcoming golf game, EA Sports PGA Tour, to next year. The game was originally slated for a late 2022 release, but now fans will have to wait until sometime in 2023 to play it.
The announcement was made by Cam Weber, the EVP and Group GM of EA Sports, on Twitter. He cited the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic as one of the reasons for the delay, stating that it has had an impact on the game's development.
The Return of Tiger Woods
One of the biggest selling points of EA Sports PGA Tour is the return of legendary golfer Tiger Woods to the game. Woods has not been featured in an EA Sports golf game since 2013, so his inclusion in the upcoming title was highly anticipated by fans.
However, it seems that Woods may have played a role in the game's delay as well. In an interview with Golf Digest, Woods stated that he has been working with EA Sports on the game and that he wants it to be perfect.
“I am a perfectionist,” Woods said. “I know what I want in a golf game, and I want to make sure that the game is as realistic and true to life as possible. I’m working closely with EA Sports to make sure that happens.”
New Features and Gameplay
Despite the delay, there is still plenty of excitement surrounding EA Sports PGA Tour. The game promises to feature new and improved gameplay mechanics, as well as a host of new features.
One of the most highly anticipated features is the ability to play on a variety of real-world courses, including Augusta National Golf Club, the home of the Masters tournament. The game will also feature a new Career Mode, allowing players to create their own golfer and take them through their career journey.
Another feature that has been teased by EA Sports is the ability to play as some of the greatest golfers of all time, including Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus.
Conclusion
While it's disappointing for fans to have to wait a little longer for EA Sports PGA Tour, the delay is a reminder that game development is a complex process that can be impacted by a variety of factors. However, the promise of new features and the return of Tiger Woods to the game should make the wait well worth it.
