Now we can just play with friends and I don't care if some kid with his modded controller can eagle every hole. In my opinion, they should focus on making games fun and realistic, and not worry about what the "kids" are up to. With online options to play in private leagues, we can get around most of that now.

I'm not sure what "other games" you are referring to, but everyone at TW community day was 25+ years old with two 50+ year olds (me being one of them). So "the kids" aren't dictating what direction Tiger is going. The folks at this event are all Golf purists and EA listened to all of the feedback in the forums. Sorry you aren't liking the demo...

Hate to break it to you, but the people at TW community day doesn't make up the entire player base. That shouldn't be a shock.

Can I ask a question? Why do you feel the need to rebuttal anyone who has a negative/differing opinion of the demo or simulation mode? No offense, but you are not the be all end all of TW '14 players' voice.

Not to keep harping on it, but you specifically mentioned how people were putting up crazy scores, and how one of the goals of the devs is to specifically make the game harder.

I know we're not the majority in the community, but are others specifically asking for a "harder" game?

I don't frequent the official forums, but I see a lot of people echoing the same issues.

I hopefully will still be able to enjoy the game, but I'll be stuck on tour pro, which is more than a little disappointing. We had tons of fun in my CC last year, even if it was just a birdie fest.

It sounds like some people are upset about how hard and unrealistic sim mode is? What am i missing here? If you don't like it then don't play it that way or customize it in a way where you do like it. The devs have given us long overdue choices and some are upset that the sim gamers have been finally placated. It's not like sim gamers are demanding that amateur and pro levels should be discontinued.

No prior TW game has given us so many choices in how to play and to make it as hard or simple as we want it and they should be applauded for it because its long overdue. And people are upset about this? I don't get it. If you think some options like no zoom or fading strike meter are stupid then don't use them. The game is not forcing you to play that way because it's full of customizable options. I would like yardage books as well but we didn't get it so its not the end of the world. I would rather the game err on the side of being too hard than being too easy BECAUSE you can modify it to make it easier.

And yeah there are some things left out or things put in that don't represent real golf but guess what, it's a video game. No matter how much you want a sports game to 100% represent the real sport, it ain't gonna happen. Sometimes you have to institute things to make the game artificially harder because you have certain parameters when dealing with a video game.

Madden EA Hockey and to a lesser extent FIFA. I happen to like the soccer game and up until this year was a big fan of their hockey game. As far as their football offering 2k made a game 5 years ago that still eats its lunch.

I had to pipe in and comment on your name. This is completely off subject, but reservoir dogs is one of my favorite movies and Vic vega is the best character, and here you are, Vic's elusive P.O. Haha.

I did like your point, I personally like the sim mode with a controller. I just tried it on kinect and I think it is a little too much for me. Every shot goes left (hook). Occasionally I can hit it straight, but mostly is a hook, or pull hook with the occasional draw. But I cannot for the life of me hit the ball right (fade/slice) which I find odd, because in real life I hit a control fade, and if I mis hit a shot it is usually a slice with an occasional pull hook. That being said, since I don't really play online, I think I'm gonna use a custom set up, all sim difficulty with the exception of the swing mechanics, I think I will put that at hard instead of expert. At least when using kinect, unless I can figure out how to control the ball better.

The point is it doesn't matter if everyone likes it or hates it. This is a forum to discuss it, regardless of opinion. Nobody is right or wrong, because it's an opinion!

I don't understand why people get so upset when other people do not like or agree with what they like. Your way is not the only way. It's not "if you don't like it don't play it" or "too bad". This is a DISCUSSION.

. From now on, even if I dont agree with you, I will pretend to and still support you simply because you have very good taste in movies.
