I'm uncertain of what to think about Shot Focus in Tour Pro myself. I would be surprised if there isn't an option to turn it off. Then again, I would imagine that it will be on for Live Tournaments, so you'd be putting yourself at a disadvantage not to use it. I'll give it a chance though.

All the amateur players on the EA forums keep complaining about the shot focus system because they are afraid that it'll won't allow them to hole out or shoot 35 under par and that us Tour mode players are asking EA to change the game. Wait and play it first before you make any decisions , please. You never know anything until you play it.

I will be patient and see, but it does seem like EA is alienating a big group of players with this. The amateur levels don't want it and the tour pro crowd doesn't want it either. It seems like both groups know exactly what they want, and so far this seems like a departure from it for both. Tour pro players want no boosts, while amateur level players want all boosts. Honestly, who asked to change this?

I'm not totally against it, it could make for some interesting course management decisions. Do you use it to bomb a drive on a par 5 and go for eagle, or for that tricky par 4 (etc)? Still, I don't see how this is realistic at all. The only thing on tour pro is it may be so minor of an impact that it is not important.
