It might lose a little but, EA's game will not be out until next March/April so TGC still has plenty of time to find an audience. It would also help if they would release the console version before E3. I could watch EA's announcement and then go and actually play TGC on my PS4.

Did anyone see GiantBomb video about TGC they posted on Friday, any thoughts?

Nothing new is learned and the 2 guys playing the game are the types of players I do not want HBS to listen to. Most of the things they complain about are ways they think the HBS should make the game easier.

Giant Bomb is blocked from my work PC, so I can't see the video. Are they playing the PC version?

I personally don't have much interest in EA's game. It will be just like the old tiger series and will get stale. I can't wait for tours to finally be unlocked in TGC and there are always endless amounts of course to play. If they tune the putting I think this game is potentially the best golf game ever.

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.

So there are different "length" putters in this game, like in the old Tiger Woods series on Playstation? Please tell me that isn't the case...

well I think the length of the putter is determined by the biggest green on the course. You cannot change what length you have. Problem is, is that the putting is very inconsistent. It's really only the issue in the game.

Yes, they were playing the early access version from Steam.

I see. I guess that's a little better, but still sort of irritating (in theory...haven't played the game myself). The whole "different length putters" thing on the old Tiger Woods series was a straight-away deal-breaker for me.

I sort of understand the reasons for that compromise, but still...if the Links game on the original XBox could get it right on putting, and that game came out forever ago, it seems bizarre to me that 10 years later we still can't get this figured out...

Anyone using a Ds4 controller for this? Just grabbed the game last night and can't see me sticking with the mouse if the option is there to use a controller. I just am not sure of the process of getting started, seems kind of daunting.

Also what's the best way to find tne courses you guys have created? It'd be nice if there was a sticky with the course names or links if that's possible.
