I really don't agree with the statement that there wouldn't be a point to the career unless you have the unlocks. I play the career to try and win tourneys, build stats etc. , but to each his own. As far as your other comments about Online Tourneys, I think we all agree and have been saying that for weeks now leading up to the release of the game. In fact, because of the tremendous user feedback EA has, at the last minute, built one try tourneys on Tour Pro Mode. They should be starting in the next few weeks according to EA_Mike.

Game companies need to wake up to this, the gaming public has matured and is going to continue to mature further they need start catering to us at least a little bit at some point. There is an untapped market in there somewhere especially since if they keep us playing games then it is likely our kids will...

Mature gamers want gameplay depth and realism. The achievements, trophies, unlockables aren't interesting to us and downright annoying for many. Isn't that model a little stale by now anyway.

Wooo! I finally broke 90! lol

I seem to be shanking the ball alot less the more I play. Now if I could get used to the new putting meter, life would be good. I think last round I only had one one-putt, and many two-plus-putts lol.

I like when my guy drains a birdie putt and rides his putter like a horse. I cracked up when I saw that.

Seriously, you guys can have an opinion on the game, but you knew what you were getting. The demo was out well before the game hit stores. It isn't like they pulled one of those "let's release the demo after the game is out!" deals to fool you.

You knew the box didn't say Links 2010. We'd all love a super realistic golf sim, but for now, I am playing Tiger and having a blast. I actually caught myself pumping my fist like Tiger when making big putts.

After playing the demo, I was expecting the game to be just like 09 with weather and the new putting meter, however I was pleasantly surprised to see quite a few tweaks.

Agreed, at the end of the day its a video game. Making a huge deal out of a few over the top celebrations is pretty silly imo. Go out and play real golf if you have that much of a hard time about it.

LOL, true. I've actually been having fun shooting targets and making money so I can buy new duds and equipment. I'm up to 50 grand now!

This game is extremely hard or is it just me, I cannt win a challange against another play for the live of me on amateur! Haha. It is the putting that is killing, but loving it so far, but it is definitely a lot harder than previous years. I was at Tour Pro to began with and I got embarassed big time by Pak, 3 times!

Yeah, it isn't just you. The game is much harder and the CPU opponents are much tougher. They used to always miss those little 3 foot putts in 09, now they all play amazing.

I got embarrassed by that Bjorklund woman with the purple pants! She beat me by 10 strokes in 9 holes at Firestone! In 09 I could beat her by 3 touchdowns easy.

Most of the challenges seem pretty much impossible until one builds up their attributes. I can only drive the ball 230 yards -- can't even reach the fairway on a lot of holes off the tee.
