Ok, thanks for the info - good to know when to expect it at least. I thought it was still a Spring release.

I miss more 3 foot putts than I care to admit. Loving the game though, and I'm sure it's only going to get better.

Definite concerns for me. Are any updates planned to correct the problems?

I don't find putting to hard, I think it is about perfect right now. BUT I do find driving to easy to place the ball where you want it.

Putting seems great to me. Once you figure out how to judge distance control it's not too difficult at all. Make sure you adjust the distance/aiming marker before each putt depending on whether the putt is uphill or downhill.

Driving is too easy and pitching is waaaaay too easy. I wish we had to pitch the ball the same way we putt. Judge length of backswing and rhythm to control distance.

If they took away dial-a-distance for pitches and iron shots, plus mixed in a few more power options than 100% each full swing, the game would start reaching some really rarefied air.

The course designer is awesome and only going to get better.

Ok, I like the game, but please give up different putter length options. 105 feet for every putt is ridiculous. Give us a 60ft putter and 105 foot

edit: After playing more, the putting really needs an overhaul, the % really doesn't mean much. Especially when it's for a 145 ft or 105 ft putter. If I make a 28% swing on a 105ft putter it should roughly go 28 feet, pending on up slope or down slope. I shouldn't have to use up to more than 60% on either of the putters. It is so inconsistent, if they fix it, this game can be astounding game play wise.

How much steam will this game lose when EA showcases their golf game at E3?

Two completely different types of games, IMO. This game has a course creator/customization potential that I don't think any EA sports offering could have. EA's golf game will, however, likely feature PGA and LPGA licenses, and tons of OEM equipment.

Two different types of offerings that probably both have room in the market depending on what you're looking for in a Golf Game. I personally was really upset at the way EA treated the last TW game, leaving it to be a decent game with a few glaring issues that were never resolved/patched. I like the potential TGC has, and the fact that the developers are a smaller crew, who listen to the community gives me hope.
