No power boost or spin allowed at Augusta?

[WrightOne5]

lol wat.

This and the stupid forcing you to wear sponsor outfits is so senseless.

I guess there were consessions that EA had to accept for Augusta to let them use the course in the game.

If i have to wear a certain outfit and be forced not to be able to spin the ball to play augusta then that is fine with me....

The power and spin "perks" are stupid anyway...watching a guy land a ball on the green and having the thing turn 90 degrees to the right or left always struck me as really dumb....I think it's part of the reason the online score in tourny's are so ridiculous. It's something I wish they would get rid of all together. It's one thing to intentionally put back spin on the ball, which is fine...it's another to have it spin right or left.

It's not a complete ban, however. You can use power/spin on the Masters Moments mode. I think I used it on the Par 3 course when using my character in quickplay mode too but I'm not 100% sure about that one.

So money and corporate demands are now dictating and controlling our sports gaming experiences. Sad and pathetic yes, but not really all that new. I don't believe the MLB allows developers to include a "charging the mound" feature in any MLB game, for example. And EA is restricted in what they can program into Madden as well.

Agreed 100%! I will not play with anyone who uses this. If we could spin the ball or control it after we hit it, we would all be PGA pros. To each their own but in a sports game, this has to be the biggest cheat ever! I play on Tour Pro but never use the focus or power or whatever, it is so non-sim and kid like to me.

I hate these features with a PASSION, however you would be shocked to find out how many TW console users play with those features instead of the tougher difficulty levels with more simulation like features. It is something like 70% to 30% arcade versus simulation. Personally, I would love to strangle whoever put those features in the game years ago as they are an embarrassment to the game of Golf, especially PGA TOUR Golf....
