No way, it barely scratches the surface of what TW14 offers. Just read this thread alone, and you'll see all the things that made this such a disappointment. If they would have just upgraded TW14 graphics, and left everything else alone, I would have gladly paid $100 for it.

This is just not true. The Golf Club offers all the same options in regards to simulation. Really the only differences are in arcade mode with power boost and spin control post shot and the automatic putt reader.

In The Golf Club there are multiple driver difficulties, and all the same options to turn off camera zooms, green grids, and wind speed indicators to make the game more challenging. Playing with all the options turned off and highest difficulty is much more challenging in The Golf Club than RM in my experience, even though I like RM better.

RM does not have infinite ways to challenge the user that is ludicrous. The Golf Club certainly has its drawbacks in regards to presentation and is not perfect but easy on the EA propaganda...

My hope is the new patch for RM makes the swing mechanism more sensitive/challenging (how about a slider), as well the ability to turn of the swing meter icon, and stupid post shot animations.

Ha, don't hold your breath. EA won't rest until everyone who picks up a controller can Eagle every hole.

Might want to educate yourself before making such claims.....

This is probably what I had in my own mind for the game for the last two years. I figured take TW14, add in an actual calendar on career mode, throw in the possibility of playing a Ryder Cup style event every couple years.

Toss in some of the missing Tour courses from the past versions, like Riviera, Firestone, Harbour Town, Hazeltine, Wailae, etc.

I enjoyed some of the things in last versions, too, like the playing certain shots and certain holes in majors. Playing matches against the greats, I could not for the life of me beat Arnold Palmer in TW2005. And, heaven forbid, allow the user to build up points outside of career mode. Is there anything more useless than a third breast on a woman? Yes, the night golf mode offered up by EA on this years game.

The sad thing is, most of this stuff was mentioned in many forums across the internet for the last two years. EA had nothing but time on their hands to make a great, not passable (if that) golf game.

Most companies in this great country of ours evolve with the times and their customer requests and desires. In most cases we get more of what we ask for in terms of goods and services. Cell phone companies fight for your dollars by trying to give more of this, charge less for that, whatever. Coca-Cola makes their products in various flavours, shapes, sizes, packages, etc. why? Because it's what the buying public wants. They listen to their customers and try like heck to give them what they want. Why else would Tab still be available, some one wants it.

EA, however, appears to take a far different approach. One that says "up yours, customers, we make it, you buy it, live with it."

Quick question - do the majors have a little different feel than the other tournaments? Or, is the atmosphere the same for all tourneys? I'm referring to offline career mode.

Course conditions are definitely tougher. Crowds seem to be into it in all tournaments....
