Is EA Sports PGA Tour Losing Its Sim?

I'm not offended by the trailer, but I will probably not purchase PGA Tour 15 unless it has more customization in it. Why can't we set up the playoffs like we want to? Why can't we create our own custom TOUR schedule in single player mode? It'd be cool if they could get some of the European Tour stops in the game as well.

Does anyone here still play PGA Championship Golf 1999 or 2000 from Sierra Sports? Those games were awesome with custom courses you could download and you could design your own tours, set up the tournaments for those tours, etc. It was loads of fun and I feel like golf games have regressed since that point.

Yes, and I agree 100%. I would also add the Jack Nicklaus series on PC, as well as the Links series. The peak of video golf for sure. It's actually hard to believe that while almost every other genre of game has gotten better by leaps and bounds (look at 14-year-old basketball or football games, for example), golf has actually gone backwards by a significant amount. Shows you what complacency and lack of competition for 15 years will do for you...
