Every year there are parts of the game that are not just mediocre but really terrible - last year there was the lifeless commentary, badly implemented weather, wooden crowds, boring tournament atmosphere etc etc. But, that said, I'll certainly be paying attention as release day nears. Hope springs eternal...

One of the devs in the live stream in another post was talking about the "par 4 values" when talking about the yardages for the holes.

its called Road To The Masters, so i assume its geared toward winning it.
Whether or not u can continue after that is unsure.
It seems they r using the Masters as the backbone of the career mode, much like Ea did with Grand Slam Tennis, basing the career mode around the 4 majors only.

Tho i assume there will be more than just major events.

Will we be happy with a career mode that isnt boring like the past ones, but is more strealined? if in fact that is the case.

I see it being a mix of the two.

I haven't read this entire thread but moving the date up can't be a good thing. I really hope this game isn't riddles with bugs and glitches.

Many people are not aware that a professional golfer hits all their clubs the same height (driver would be the exception) a 3 iron would reach the same height as a 9 iron, but just further along. I could go on about how bad the ball spin is for another two pages. The game of golf is all about the ball, and if you can't capture accurately how it actually flies through the air and reacts when it hits the ground, that's not good enough IMO, especially after all the years they've had to work on it.

- You can't be serious about the ball flight of 3 irons and 9 irons... The only thing that makes a 3 iron fly further than a 9 iron is the loft itself. I think the problem your explaining with ball physics has more to so with the ground. The greens are far too soft and so are the fairways in my opinion. They can be made fast but often times it's like the ball is rolling on a bed.

Don't forget the laughably cartoonish HUGE clubheads.

Work you way up the ladder from the EA tour, Amateur Tour, Nationwide Tour, Q-School, and the PGA Tour. If you're good enough you can even skip the Nationwide Tour.

Have you seen anywhere if we can start a career as any golfer or do we have to be ourselves again (sorry, didn't see it mentioned in the thread and didn't have time to click any of your links).

I get so tired of having to build my golfer from scratch (though it sounds that will at least be better this year).

Yeah, I would really enjoy a simple season mode where i use a real golfer, and play through the season with his stats as they are.
