I have to agree all the way with this quote ... My favorite putting system of all-time is Links o4, and I'm also still playing Links04 too.

Which version? I've had every Tiger Woods since 2002 or 2003, and I've never seen The Ryder Cup or Presidents Cup. Was it before that?

Nope. I believe one was in 04 and the other in 05....might have been only in the PC versions as I rarely ever played the console versions prior to the 360 coming out....

I wish EA and the TW developers would create a nice comfortable silky smooth roller ball controller rather then put up with these Sony or Microsoft stick shifts.

Get some True Swing Action going ... be awesome for putting too.

Something you would place on a platform or table with sucssion cups at the bottom to keep it firm ... and let her rip!!

I still dont feel that the TW series takes into account lies. I have been on some extreme sidehill lies and the ball barely goes to the right/left. They also dont take into account when you are on an uphill/downhill lie the ball going on a higher/lower trajectory.

The swing stick was much more sensitive last year which was great. Where they went wrong is by making it so drastic of an outcome. It should be off target not exit stage 90 degrees to the right and OB.

That leads me into the OB. WHERE ARE THE WHITE STAKES TELLING YOU WHERE OB IS??? THIS CANT BE HARD TO PUT INTO A VIDEO GAME!!

I agree that the putting method needs to be like Links 2004 for the XBOX.

AS we all know EA is always 3-4 years behind when it comes to things like this. (IE just now having online leagues for MAdden)

If you really want to play at Augusta or something similar to the real tour, there is only one option for now. I would love to have these features for my PS3, but since that is not possible, I play TW07 for the PC.

The TW PC community has created most of the courses used on the tour as well as some fine fantasy courses. The 07 version(though u need to buy 06 to do it) can also support your own custom created PGA tour season. You can only do one year at a time and then have to start over, but u can add The Masters and change the other majors.

The graphics may not be as good, but its definitley a much harder game. You can also edit the golfer list to make the scores go up or down depending on the event(its a bit of work but well worth it for the majors).

If anyone wants more info let me know and i will post some links or other features. I love the ideas in the article above, but I doubt EA will ever do it. They took out this option totally for 08, but You can still make and use other created courses for now.

Who knows about 09, but for now i will stick with 07. You cant beat the realism of the tour schedule this way. Even with the FedEx cup feature now, i bet u still have to play some of the same courses and weird events with the platform created seasons. Created courses would be awesome, but they want to make add-ons for more profit. Sad thing is, that some of the online designers put them to shame. I doubt they could ever duplicate Augusta National like Ken McHale's version(i think that his name).

It's really too bad that there will be no PC version of TW09....

Well if there's no PC version, then there should be no excuse for an all-out simulation of Golf at it's finest, especially with the console hardware of today.

But saying it is one thing, creating it, is another.
