Seems a bit, underwhelming?


I thought there was supposed to be something to do with shot shaping, something exciting, etc, etc?


East Lake might make me come back for a round to check it out, but the lack of content and game modes will put it right back on the shelf.


Trying to be patient here, but it's getting difficult.

Can they address th,e issue of my created golfer acting like an obnoxious toolbar after he holes a putt?

Do you mean the game or the update? Lol.

Just a continuation of the awesome game they put on the shelf.

Here's what Justin (Handsward, EA dev) said on the EA forum:

Key thing here is "We will be able to shift our focus from bug fixing to other things"

First off, most of the Night Club fixes were actually done during the time we were working on the last update but they weren't done in time to guarantee enough testing time on them so they were checked into this update's branch instead. Second, our focus for this and the previous updates has been to fix bugs. With this update, we are at a point where almost all bugs have been addressed. There actually weren't many career bugs that were found post launch and we were able to address any career bugs that existed with the last update. Most of the bugs that were remaining for this update were related to online and that's where most of the effort went. With most all the bugs taken care of at this point (with a few remaining exceptions that didn't make it in this update) we will be able to shift our focus from bug fixing to other things.

Wish they would add Jason Day to the game. This is probably the first time in over 15 years that the #1 golfer in the world is not in a video game.

Well I don't think anyone knew that Jason was going to have the year he's having.

Besides, first the no.1 was Rory, then Jordan, than Rory again, then Jordan again and now Jaydee.

I guess the next additional course we will see will be sometime in NOVEMBER. If we're lucky, EA might throw in one more player..
