In EA Sports PGA Tour, players will encounter three different times of day-morning, midday, and late afternoon-as well as four biomes that can affect things like atmospheric haze, lighting, and clouds.Įvery golfer knows that the way a ball bounces and rolls on the course varies from venue to venue, and EA said each course in EA Sports PGA Tour "has its own subtleties including everything from the speed and firmness of the fairway to the firmness and length of the first cut."ĮA added: "The ball will behave differently across different terrains like pine straw, firm fairway, soft fairways and more.
