Baa7 is simply following the OS guidelines: posting his impressions in the impressions thread. What are you doing, lol?

The game isn't all that bad and it's more than playable. Regardless, it's at best a clunky and uninspired representation of golf and what's involved in the mechanics of hitting a golf ball. And when comparing EA's console game to great adult sim golf games of the past, yes, it comes across as a game developed with kids in mind, no question. It's more a golf "toy" than a golf sim, absolutely.

I watch alot of golf on TV, and I am yet to see a player drop his club and start dancing...it is just so stupid. I wrote a post a few years ago when they announced broadcast presentation in the game, and then found out all that meant was the PIP window, it just proves they don't watch cuz the PIP window hasn't been used since '02 in a real golf broadcast. If EA is going to hold onto the exclusive PGA license (which is a shame cuz i know 2K could make a game that would blow this away) then we need a PGA Tour golf game, not an arcade cartoonish golf game with PGA players. I mean the commentary is a joke, the reactions are unbelievable childish, and camera angles (don't even get me started on the big-hit cameras) are way too videogame, not enough real life. Also, I don't know if it bothers anyone else, but just once I would like to see my golfer bend down and pick his ball up out of the cup. I know what would make the perfect golf game for us actual golfers, but for some reason it seems all EA cares about is appealing to the guys that watch Happy Gilmore and want to bust 450 yard drives and eagle every hole. Am I alone on this or does anyone else agree?

I'm totally with you on this. I really enjoy this game being the first TW I've played in probably 4-5 years. But the thing that gets me is the crappy announcing (sorry, I just don't like it) and the over the top celebrations. Luckily if you hit A quickly enough you spare yourself the embarrassment of riding your golf club like it's a pony. And if I hear, "Get in your hole" one more time........

My 'favorite' is "He can't be happy with a bogey on that hole." Well, DUH! How often ARE you happy with a bogey, Einstein?

At least you can turn off most of this stuff in options.

The awful wooden announcing (why'd they get rid of M & F??), the celebration animations and the voices can all be turned off in options.

I love the random weather feature, but wonder why wind isn't included and is separate. It would be even better if I could put wind at random and get different gusts throughout the round.

The courses are beautiful, for the first time, I was amazed by the hills and slopes of St. Andrews. Which normally, I always viewed as a flat boring course with big greens.

I'm still hitting too many fairways however, I was of the opinion that Tiger 08 had the perfect stick sensitivity, yet they seemed to relaxed this a bit.

I wish while playing online I would be given more options, like follow cam and turning of the 3 hole simultaneous play feature. I'm in the minority on not liking it. I feel like those lines make it into a race to finish first.

The trend of charging 600 msft pts courses (Spyglass) is absurd, 200-400 would be a more reasonable price. Maybe 600 for a 2 course pack but not for one single course.

Yeah, it helps to go into the options to see this. It's been a long school year teaching so my brain is on shut down mode.
Thanks, I'll be turning off a lot of these options and turning down the commentary.

Blue - Played 2 rounds last night.

Tour Pro daily at Turnberry Ailsa - 78 - used Tiger.
First tourney in career mode with attributes all in the 2.5 - 3.5 range - 76 with 13 fairways hit and 38% GIR.

Very much like the new putting.

Again - I anticipate that tourney scores on Tour Pro will be more realistic once EA rolls out single try events. Happy with the game so far.
