Yes, understood. But honestly, to any reasonable person who frankly doesn't care about the behind-the-scenes deal-making of it all: it's patently ridiculous that there aren't any playoffs. As a person simply playing a golf video game that is the only licensed PGA game on the market, to have no playoffs is a pretty serious flaw, wouldn't you agree?

How would this be acceptable in any other purported sports simulation game? NBA2k if you're tied at the end of regulation, you automatically win? The Show you win after 9 innings if it's a tie game at that point? Would that be acceptable for those games/fans of those sports? I mean, everything else aside, as a regular consumer, you have to admit: it borders on unbelieveable that one of the most critical aspects of declaring a winner in a golf tournament (and arguably the most exciting aspect of any golf tournament) is not in the game.

Licensing is completely different than other sports games. If that was not the case, I could agree with you. Since it isn't, I'll respectfully disagree. If there was no licensing/likeness concerns, there would be a playoff.

It's just a bad game on so many levels.

Not sure where I should ask this, but I am playing Tour mode and came across what is probably a glitch.

So my created golfer is an overall 83 in career mode. I just had a new attribute bonus added, and I went to check it out. I usually play "Go For the Green", but after browsing through the list and backing out to the main menu all the putting attributes, short, mid, long, putting stroke are now all at 100. When I level up and the game randomly adds upgrades it will occasionally add to my putting even thought it's maxed out. Anyone see this, and if so have a solution? Thanks!

Yes, I understand. Perhaps the comparisons are not exactly fair.

I do understand and to a certain extent agree with you. But at the end of the day, it's not my job to forgive or understand the business or legal reasons why some glaring omission is the way it is. That holds true for any product - from video games to automobiles to homes. I understand functionally why the E65 7-series BMW's back end looked the way it did, or why the 996 Porsche 911's had those god-ugly headlamp blobs, but that doesn't make them any more acceptable...

Does anyone in here own both TGC and Rory?

Yes. Each does something well the other doesn't, and each has its issues the other doesn't.


I just did get Rory and I must say I fired up a round of TGC and the graphics/sound and animation are difficult to watch. I love TGC a ton, but Rory just seems more fluid.
