Agreed - it is overdone, but you don't even notice it after playing a bit.

I don't think they tweaked anything yet - I am starting to hit my drives in the rough a bit more as I increase my power, by it still needs to be harder. I can try and get a short video of me using the course creator uploaded tonight or tomorrow.

I'm more excited about this game than any other golf game. Looking forward to more impressions.

Once they get some issues ironed out, it will make for one hell of a golf game, and find some nice longevity here on OS with clubs and tours. It does take a way a bit the fact that you only get opponents balls on the course and not a digital representation - but still just an outstanding game of golf.

I talked a bit about this earlier - but once you get your hands on the course creator, and get the hang of it, it is just an awesome piece of software.

Do we have the option to choose post putt celebrations/anger? I think it would get old quick watching an NHL 94 goal celebration after every birdie.

It may be in there, but I haven't seen it yet. Keep in mind a lot of the options are still not accessible to us in this early stage of beta testing.

Probably will not make it into the first year of production but it would be nice to see the players stances change depending upon the lie and the distance from the hole. On some of the longer shots from sidehill lies it appears as if the player was pasted onto the screen. Maybe choke up some on chip shots things like that. For an early build the game shows promise. I might have missed this but will there be a course vault where you can download created coursed like 2k and Sony have for their rosters?

HB does have a system in place where user generated/created courses can be uploaded and shared online.
