Relax man, I was just giving out information. Uptight. The correct response would of been, "Cool thx, I did not know that.". You come off like you are better than everyone else sometimes.

Fair enough...just seemed like you were getting on me for not knowing all the ins and outs of the game when I only had one day with the product.

And I damn sure don't think I am any better than anyone else here....my apologies for coming off in such a way.

Hey.

I know they're going to have Ryder Cup in the game. But any word if the Ryder Cup atmosphere is going to be there as well? A big part of the Ryder Cup is the emotions the players and fans show that isn't normally seen in tour events. Guys like Sergio thrive in Ryder Cup because of that different level of emotion involved. Is that going to be there, w/ fans chanting, flags waving, players going nuts w/ each other, etc? Not holding much hope that it will be judging from the screens, but any definitive word?

Thanks!

It wasn't the rubberbanding that was the problem with AI scoring last year, it was the idiotic low scores that the leaders would win with being in the -20's and -30's and Tiger reaching -40 sometimes no matter the weather conditions or the toughness of the course. It isn't rubberbanding, it's programming ******ation.

This of course could be easily fixed in a few hours by the devs instituting an AI scoring slider which makes everyone happy but that would make too much sense and the fact that the devs need this fatal flaw offline to be pointed out to them in community forums is even sadder.

It took them several years to fix the rubberbanding out of sheer laziness so i'm thinking we'll still see the outrageous scores for TW11, TW12 and probably TW 13 until they decide to get around to it.

I am well aware of the differences between rubber-banding and what went on with TW10. EA has assured me that the AI has been revamped, but we won't know for sure until the game ships as I was not able to test that part of the game. But the issue was brought up by EA and discussed and I feel AI should be improved based upon what I heard.
