Going to continue to sit out on this franchise...but good to know they are somewhat heading in the right direction.

I still think it's too early to decide whether to buy or not buy the game. The demo is just that, a demo. Too bad EA hasn't released any other info about the game, outside of what we can see in the demo.
As to Divot's big feature, I'd hate to hear that DLC will not be able to be used in career mode. It stinks being able to only play 1 event at each course. I'd like to see career mode have 25 to 30 events, and not 1 or 2 a month. Either that or make career mode go longer than 5 seasons, before you have to start over.
I also wish EA would lift the NDA, so Divot can explode with all his inside information, or others who went to CD.
** oh BTW , I am not saying the DLC was Divot's big feature, sorry!**

I'm kinda on the fence here. I really, really like the concept of True Aim...it's about time we got rid of the pinpoint shots and tried to bring the game to something more realistic. But I wish they still had the follow camera after the shot. Also, not being able to use it in head to head online is a big disappointment. I understand there were some challenges involved in the coding to make it work, but it's a huge let down that we won't be able to play with True Aim online with friends...not to mention that every league I've played in requires you to play your round online with another member, so that goes out the window.

Gonna have to wait and see if the other game (name escapes me) brings anything better to the table.

Some very good discussions going on in the EA TW forums...it WILL be available for all other online game play modes. http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/549721.page

Seriously? The big new addition only works for half of the gaming experience out of the box. They change the menu around, add a few courses along with the "little touchups" and "bam" here is your brand new game!

With all due respect, this is practically the same game as the previous games but with a new coat of paint.

I value your opinion and posts but I get the feeling there may be a little bit of a bias towards EA with you.

Yo9u can shout "bias" til the cows come home, however, I have seen the entire game, you haven't. So while I respect your point of view based upon the demo, as far as I know, I am still allowed to disagree with it without being called "biased".

Did TW10 have a Ryder Cup mode? Did TW10 have a new aiming system? Did TW10 have a new way to determine how your character's attributes are determined (by YOU the user)? Did TW10 have clothing that is animated? Shall I go on?

True Aim will NOT be available for "PART OF the gaming experience". Due to technical limitations, EA has stated it won't be available out of the box in MP online games. It WILL be available for every other mode both online and offline which is hardly "half the game experience". EA also stated they are looking for ways to patch this new aiming into the game or find a compromise that works without the zooming that is currently in the feature. Yeah, I see your point about TW11 being the same game with "a new coat of paint.....

Regarding attributes: I understand we'll be able to assign points to ratings at our discretion but will ratings still decline based on poor performance? I really liked that last year if I was having a terrible day with my wedges my wedge skill would take a hit - it prevented my golfer from turning into a superman.

I have to agree also that graphics are refined and definitely improved and the new sound effects are FINALLY realistic. It sounds great. New swing control may alone, be worth the price of admission.... it's actually a nice challenge
