Sadly - That was my conclusion this morning also (wanted to cancel before Amazon started the "preparing for shipment" routine for 3 days to get you locked in)..

Might pick it up used sometime if they actually patch it, but with EA, I'm in a *serious* wait and see mode with this whole "release once & we'll update it - just trust us" situation.

Sadly EA doesn't have a reputation that leads you to believe stuff like that...

EA has already stated this will not be an annual release.

(nodding) Yeah, that's a really good point, fair enough. But you can't argue about the sameness of all the processes, cut scenes, cameras, effects, etc. It just seems so weird to me that they rewrote the game from scratch, and decided to make it JUST LIKE previous games in so many ways. But I'll take your word for it, all good.

If it weren't, we would have far more features from TW14 in RM that they would have been STUPID to leave out of the game, GameFace being the most obvious.

Yes - But they also have very deliberately avoided telling us any details at all about what & when might ever get changed....

"Not Annual" could just mean "this is the core game" and we'll keep pumping out DLC for the next 18 months, but it definitely doesn't mean they necessarily will change anything much about how the currently released game plays. :-(

Yep - And a step back in many eyes in terms of where the challenge and difficulty was at in TW14 Sim mode. I was hoping for the next generation of that mode in particular as it was some of my favorite virtual golf EVER on any game or platform.

The quote i linked stated

"maybe PGA Tour 17 will be a full featured game"

I was only advising that this is not an annual release. But please continue to read more into my statements beyond what i said.

I love TW14, the only thing keeping me from playing more often is the load times. But I still play it, for sure. I got all the DLC courses, and I really enjoy it.

If PGA 17 comes out, that won't be annual. This is PGA 15.
