Hello to everyone interested in Links 2004. I am the Group Program Manager (which is Microsoft speak for Executive Producer) for the game studio within Microsoft that produced Links 2004 (in addition to Amped2 and Top Spin)
I will be checking in and participating as time permits on this forum. The development team is coming off some much deserved rest after releasing this title to manufacturing back on Oct. 17th. We are starting the ramp-up for the next release and will keep pulse on messages in this forum to make sure our features and design are meeting your needs.
To answer a few questions I see have been bouncing back and forth already:
Links 2004 will support 4 players on 4 different boxes. This was a key design decision of ours early on. Golfing (online or off) should be about playing in 4-somes. One mode I really look forward to people playing is Stroke-fastplay. Where all four people play simultaneously. You see the other 3 people's balls (and ball flight) and ghost/contrails. Internally we call it our '4-player crack cocaine' mode because it is so addictive and fun.
Links 2004 will support custom soundtracks, which will play in both the menu's and during play.
There will be downloadable courses. I can't provide a lot of details here, but expect the first one to be available before the end of the year and expect more in the first half of next year. Xbox Live gives us an awesome opportunity to update content and we plan to take full advantage of this.

It is like a nice little treat to go play links and you get a little memo that a new course is available. Will defaintely add to the longevity if they can keep adding them.
