EA had the chance to make this one of the best golf games of all time. In my opinion, with the lack of licensed players, courses and an in-depth career mode really hurt their chance. I really believe people are getting fed up with EA's lack of detail within their sports games. I may be wrong. My dream is that professional sports league will not renew their licensing contracts with EA and when or if that day ever come, that will be a great day in the sports market.

EA is not going to give up the licence until it stops making them money. So in your dream, who would step up and make games in their place. A small examplewould be, Microsoft has had the rights to High Heat and Links and they have not made any games. As gamers we are lucky an independent company stepped up produce a great golf game.

I just don't understand your first post being about EA will drop out making "professional sport" market...agenda post...what was your previous OS user name?

I wish they would patch in an option to turn them off. Tiger Wood 13 and 14 were so good, I don't understand the direction they took with this game. It's beautiful but does not hold my attention like those 2 titles. Also, I hope in later patches that they put the Country Club back in.

I could be wrong, but I feel like I remember reading that Microsoft sold Links to 2K alongside Top Spin, and Amped back when they shut down XSN.

You could be right, but my point is Microsoft and 2K did nothing with those titles. If EA steps away from a sports title, there is no guarantee that another company will step in. Heck, EA hasn't got back into baseball!

I fired this up last night to give the patch a spin and really enjoyed it. I like the changes and will probably put this game back in my gaming rotation. Gameplay feels much better and birding a hole on "Tour" difficulty is actually rewarding and enjoyable.
