Too much training, never miss a fairway and again..no user interfaced weather...ugh
I've played 'em all...09 is different, but why the heck do they all have to BE different?...why not use some of the best stuff from previous versions...ok..I know because NO-ONE has the cahones to MAKE another CHALLENGER to the EA Golf franchise..do we remember LINKS?...for the PC...but ahh...yes...Microsoft wouldn't want to battle EA now would they?...
ok, back to the review....
we used to be able to control the conditions (ONLINE, I'm talking)...so, when we got bored, or a little punchy we could hike a bag and play a round in Hurricane Gustav if we felt the urge. Not anymore.
I have been playing this game pretty much ad nauseum since it's release, and I have yet to miss a Fairway on tee-off...and no, I play a lot, but my thumb does wander off now and again, but this game seems too failsafe..hit the tee shot, hit the fairway...Voila!
Putting is a mystery, you get good at it alone, (OFFLINE) and literally swing back then forward not really paying attention and every shot drains..go ONLINE and all bets are off...How does one get good at putting when the environments are that vastly different...??...anyone??..Bueller??
Too much boring Training from Hank...Thanks..but could we have a little variety?...huh?...but I fear not taking him up on the offers of training, as I wouldn't want to diminish my "attribute" achievements now would I?
Club selection at the edge of the fairway...ok...3 clubs?...did I LOSE all the rest of them on the previous freakin' hole?...whatup WIT DAT?? is Tiger using the rest of my bag as CANES?...
Gameface..well..yea..EA has bugs...nuff said...but to their defense, the lag time and server response has been great. (not always the case in release weeks in previous years).
ok...it's good...there could be a lot of better things about it, but let's hope they just use the GOOD stuff on 'TW '10...
FORE!
