They don't need the license commercially until next Spring before the Masters. But of it is going to be in the game, they need to have it now and be rebuilding the course with the new engine.....

As has been posted to you previously, because they don't have the license now doesn't mean they can't purchase it in the future being that the full game isn't being released every year.

If you want to say you don't think they will buy it then fine, but you keep using the rhetoric of "If they had the license Augusta would already be in the game."

Yea I don't think they would buy for this years game. Because I can't see EA putting in a big, well known course like that as DLC. When was the last time we had a course like a St. Andrews or Augusta put into the game as a DLC? A course that a person who doesn't really follow golf would know about. And by doesn't really follow I am thinking of someone who watches the majors and a couple tournaments here and there.

Ignoring the hiatus due to the console switch when was the last time this game was not an annually released game?

Yea I don't think it has. But I was just asking if EA has ever left out a big name course and then put it in as a DLC. Because I can't see EA leaving a big name course like Augusta or St. Andrew's to be a DLC course. And if they done it before I will gladly agree that this could happen.

Completely missed my point.

No, major courses have not traditionally gone in as DLC. But we've also never had a semi annual release and heck we don't even know when the next game will be released. Everyone is assuming 2 years but it might be 3 or even 4.

Point is we are dealing with a situation with no precedence so we can't compare it to anything EA has or hasn't done in the past.

Lastly, I am going to experiment this weekend on running my putting cursor to the direction I want it, then running it all the way off the green to see if I can dial in any sort of distance feel with the putter.....

What I'm doing now for putting is this. 7 feet or closer dial a distance. 8-11 feet I push the aim marker to 15 feet. 12-20 ft I push it back to 25 feet. 21-50 feet I push it to 75 feet. Anything over that I push it to 100 ft.


This adds another level to putting. Takes about a half a round to get used to it but makes the putting very rewarding when you sink one or lag one close.

Well said. Hope they do put in Augusta at a later point. I would gladly pay $10 for it. And they did say after they announced that it wasn't going to be in the game they were looking at maybe be dlc. I'm assuming that was just pr bs but hoping for the best.
