Introduction to EA Sports PGA Tour King of the Course

Hey guys, this is Simon from I Mark III 2014 with Mike from EA Sports has gone Mike! It's going great, how are you? You guys have a new golfing game here called King of the Course. Yes, it's called EA Sports PGA Tour King of the Course, and we're pretty excited to show it off here today.

Setting Up the Game

All right, let's take a look at the game set up as a series of challenges. As you can see, we've taken a little bit of a departure from traditional golf. Our whole idea here is to open this up to an arcade style gameplay on traditional style courses. We have an innovative new swing mechanic as well, so you touch anywhere on the screen and your golfer takes a backswing. When you're ready, that helps determine the power, and when you're ready for him to swing, just simply click forward.

The Object of the Challenge

The object of this particular challenge is to get it into those trampolines. As you can see, I'm shaping it here in the air. Another very fun and interactive mechanic we've included in our idea here was not making you have to sit by and kind of weight as the ball is in the air. This is one of the more involved levels that you see called "trampoline," but all the challenges are kind a very fun, quick hitting, very fresh again, a different take on golf than we would have in our console game for example.

Gameplay Mechanics

There you actually have to get it into the trampoline for to bounce. But we have a series of challenges, some are per shot, some are about time, some are bull's-eyes, some are through hoops, some are skipping it on water. So, it's a great way to play golf in a new and exciting way.

Power-Ups

What can you tell us about the other power-ups there on the right? The power-ups, so these power-ups you get to use some here. I got this one for example will help my accuracy. This one will actually helped me hone in where the ball is going, apprise you to use that one from the get-go.

Using Power-Ups

So, if I tap it, you can see that little white dot and how it's helped me to zone it into the trampoline. They're quite a little hard to see on the camera but they're just meant to help players out in case they're sort of running into a little bit of a problem with in getting the challenge beaten.

Game Progression

So, what do we have in terms of progression here? A lot of levels, yes, we have a lot of levels. We have over 350 levels and launch so you'll be able to play through. Here I'm going to claim a lot of different, you can kind of see the new the attribute unlocks since I've unlocked this challenge further on down the line. It's given me a bunch of rewards so as you're progressing and collecting stars it's giving you those rewards to increase your attributes.

Real-Life Courses

We have five real-life courses and as you progress through like I said 300 over 350 challenges to play through, you know over a dozen different challenge types and they all get sort of variations on the different holes that we've located them on. So, a lot of a lot of content here.

Stroke-Play Challenges

For people who are more rooted in traditional golf, there are stroke-play challenges here there's one per hole so they'll get their fix of real golf as well. Sure, you mentioned increase your stats, can we take a look at the players? Yeah, absolutely.

Golfing Characters

With our golfing characters, we took again a fresh new approach. They're all they all have their own theme, they all have their own sort of unique personality and style. When you first download the game, you can either pick the sweetheart or the hotshot here and then you can kind of see their statistics.

Character Statistics

They all have different attribute statistics some are better at putting in some better accuracy and then when it's time to level them up, you can see the sweetheart here we have her leveled up. Those are those pop-ups that we were seeing there and as you progress through the game in turn stars that star count helps you reach certain levels that upgrade those specific attribute rules. Alright so it's looking good, that's available now then that's available right now yes cool.

Conclusion

All right well I'm gonna try to okay thank you.
