Far from an expansion and I don't even own the game yet. Will be picking this up when Gamestop opens at 10am. I did not pre-order so I'm hoping they give me the code for the bonus couse

Since the DLC is listed I guess I will go ahead and pick up the extra 18-20 courses since I feel they are priced fairly. Can't wait!!!

I picked up the collectors edition today but I was unable to get my code for the free course as the PS3 ones didn't come in on time. The employee at gamestop said he would call me when they come in. Ridiculous that EA can't supply enough codes especially when I pre-ordered. Oh well at least I got the 5 extra courses to hold me over not really interested in the fantasy ones though to be honest.

Its aggravating to say the least. Of course, they generally pull the right club, but found it aggravating. You just step up with no thought other than left sick back, left stick through. Meh

The wind is at the top right hand corner of the screen, unless you were playing w/ it as calm or off, don't know why you couldn't see it.

Well, since this is the demo thread, that's what the comment was based on...

So you judge an entire game by the demo? Um, okay...

I'm sitting here pondering whether to pick this game up or not. I've had every tiger woods since inception but after playing this demo I kinda got the same feeling of , "listen to the caddy, press A, pull back stick, play next shot. Is this the case or is the game actually more free thinking than that?

I don't really see the big deal about the caddie. Check my impressions in the impression thread for full game.

i played 2 games last night for the first time...

One of them, TW, i had a blast playing simultaneous stroke with my buddies for 3 rounds... no issues (technically) and the game was solid and fun (TOUR Pro level). Scoring was a bit easy for being the first day with a new game, but we can mess with conditions and even go up to Tournament mode if necessary. Solid opening day launch.

The other, NTG 2011 was the most frustrating experience i've ever had with a game online. As soon as you load (if you load) you are sent tumbling end over end and everyone is crashing during the pace lap...lol. What a nightmare.

So I'm liking my TW.. i don't take it's stability online for granted either.
