This is the case for me to a "T" as well.

Also, although I know it will likely not happen, some semblance/simulacrum of a playoff has to exist for me to really get into a career mode.

I think EA Sports has pretty much given up on the career mode playoff situation, but they've got bigger fish to fry right now with this game. Now that the "bug fix" update is over, it will be interesting to see how or if they address the three areas of concern I listed earlier. I've come to learn that these are also on the minds of a number of others, particularly the first two.

I can't see why they couldn't at least tell you what the other playoff competitor(s) shot on a hole when you get to the first playoff hole and allow you to at least go after that. It would certainly be better than just being awarded a win for a tie.

25th wedding anniversary and bride picked this up for me. (After little cruise through Caribbean...). Prior to 1st shot I switched everything over to max difficulty, no zoom, no loft trail, no beads on greens. IMO It plays a very good game of golf. I played a steady 15 favourites on TGC so I can live with courses for now. Online is ..... lacking fun factor. Maybe I don't have it set up properly I dunno. No commentary just golf. More clothing options and game face would be welcomed.

Tried the Early Access demo, didn't like that all golfer models are still way off.
Seriously why are all of EA's games going backwards with simple stuff.

Got through season 1 in fine shape. Made it to East Lake and finished dead last. Now in season 2 and have won 1st 5 tournaments where unfortunately only 1was by a close margin. The other 4 have me winning by 10 or so strokes. Golfer up to level 87.

Is the game's competition going to catch up or is this what I can expect from here on out?

Played an online "tour" daily. Came in at what I thought was a respectable 5 under. Leader was -22. For 18 holes....

-22? in Tour?? Whoa! I hope the additional advanced difficulty options that can be added to Tour ratchet the challenge up a bit...

In standard TOUR difficulty online and depending on the course and conditions, I can see someone doing this every once in a while, but at the majority of the real courses, especially East Lake, Chambers Bay, etc I would have to see that to believe it.....

And I do hope they add an "Advanced" difficulty online, but I am beginning to doubt it which is a shame.....

We need an option to turn the tempo bubble off.
I think looking at your golfers swing would be better.
