Just to play devil's advocate, why can't EA make the default setting challenging, meaning an player of decent understanding of golf might shoot 66 in one of his better rounds.

Well if anyone would know it would be the devil as EA sold their soul to him many times over. Why do they keep making these rappers and other crazy characters in the game? Why allow spin after the shot, yet as CS mentions not before it?
It is because hardcore gamers do not make the decisions. These are made in some board room by a bunch of guys in marketing, based on a bunch of "surverys" and how they feel the game will sell to "the causal gamer and hardcore gamer alike". How can they make a game that will sell to as many people as possible. If they make the game too hard off the bat they could lose the "casual gamer" who happens to be a large chunk of the market.
Fortunately on the PC side they have figured out the average PC golfer is older 10 years old...

So the rappers included in the game are designed to draw the Maurice Clarett demographic?

Or the Nate Newtons of the gaming public......"If y’all see me in the news, and I make the news for something that I ain’t got no business making it for, don’t bash me. Say it was a young guy living."
