Is this really a sport?

I just don't see the appeal of golf on PC.

Then again, it looks like EA didn't, either.

Philk: Football isn't a girl's game. Actually, many countries consider women in football to be sacrilegious.

I have no problem with golf. I just consider it as much of a sport as water polo or ribbon twirling.

Phil, did you really just call Soccer a girls game...? Seriously? I played Football in middle school, and them after school Soccer clubs made me work more every day than a week of Football practice.

Tl;dr
Soccer > Amriicen sportz

Looks like a game for the Zeebo

"If someone is dribbling on a field for a few hours, we take him to the hospital in the states. "

What?

"Soccer proves the rest of the world is still slow compared to us. Bad economy or not, when the NFL was on lockout, everyone knew about it. When soccer players get "fouled," flopping around on the field like a salmon out of water, that makes me wanna get all red card on their ass."

Same. I think all diving should be a couple of games suspension, minimum.

Don't feed the footie troll. His idea of a mans game involves running into each other for 12 seconds, stopping for 45, before running into each other again. And that they need all that padding. Because they're MEN(?). A game called football, where the only reason to apply foot to ball is if you're too crap to carry said ball 10 measly yards. In 4 attempts.

But golf games are very good. Except on pc apparently

The game is a huge disappointment, speaking as someone who really wanted a good golf game for PC. So much of the (on-disk) content is clearly marked as DLC-only (95% of the items in the Pro Gold Store, for instance, are only available via paid-for-points outside of the game), whist you simply cannot finish all the courses in the SP game without paying to unlock half of them - again via an additional transaction to unlock them as DLC.

EA should be utterly ashamed of themselves; this has to be the most breathtakingly-brazen display of complete disregard for its paying customers by any games publisher yet. This is a transparent attempt to fleece golf fans (who tend to be older) into paying twice as much as the price of the core game via additional, borderline compulsory DLC. This is surely a dishonest business practice and there might even be a good case for a legal challenge.

All this, and somehow the combined resources of EA's development teams have failed completely to produce a game that looks anything other than mediocre and decidedly sub-par - it's actually quite embarrassing to look at, with late 90's/early 2000's style graphics, course narration that drops out on the intro to every course and such a limited set of play modes one wonders how on earth the publisher could have had the sheer cheek to even attempt to charge full-price for this game. Just how does a top-tier publisher conspire to produce such a total car-crash of a game in this day and age? That really does take some doing.

And utter disaster of a game - AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

I HATE EA.
