    Kehlis, don't look away. It's like that song you hate so much, but listen to it anyway just to confirm why you hate it.


    BTW, of all the animations, my favourite is the one on the tee shot where he flings the club and goes berserk over a shot in (or not) the fairway.


    Also, I only play with my created golfer. Do the real pros on the game do the celebrations?

      Plenty of discussions here regarding why playoffs are the way they are. It is not a cut and dried issue....

        Yes, understood. But honestly, to any reasonable person who frankly doesn't care about the behind-the-scenes deal-making of it all: it's patently ridiculous that there aren't any playoffs. As a person simply playing a golf video game that is the only licensed PGA game on the market, to have no playoffs is a pretty serious flaw, wouldn't you agree?

        How would this be acceptable in any other purported sports simulation game? NBA2k if you're tied at the end of regulation, you automatically win? The Show you win after 9 innings if it's a tie game at that point? Would that be acceptable for those games/fans of those sports? I mean, everything else aside, as a regular consumer, you have to admit: it borders on unbelieveable that one of the most critical aspects of declaring a winner in a golf tournament (and arguably the most exciting aspect of any golf tournament) is not in the game.

          Licensing is completely different than other sports games. If that was not the case, I could agree with you. Since it isn't, I'll respectfully disagree. If there was no licensing/likeness concerns, there would be a playoff.

            It's just a bad game on so many levels.

              Not sure where I should ask this, but I am playing Tour mode and came across what is probably a glitch.

              So my created golfer is an overall 83 in career mode. I just had a new attribute bonus added, and I went to check it out. I usually play "Go For the Green", but after browsing through the list and backing out to the main menu all the putting attributes, short, mid, long, putting stroke are now all at 100. When I level up and the game randomly adds upgrades it will occasionally add to my putting even thought it's maxed out. Anyone see this, and if so have a solution? Thanks!

                Yes, I understand. Perhaps the comparisons are not exactly fair.

                I do understand and to a certain extent agree with you. But at the end of the day, it's not my job to forgive or understand the business or legal reasons why some glaring omission is the way it is. That holds true for any product - from video games to automobiles to homes. I understand functionally why the E65 7-series BMW's back end looked the way it did, or why the 996 Porsche 911's had those god-ugly headlamp blobs, but that doesn't make them any more acceptable...

                  Does anyone in here own both TGC and Rory?

                      Yes. Each does something well the other doesn't, and each has its issues the other doesn't.


                      I just did get Rory and I must say I fired up a round of TGC and the graphics/sound and animation are difficult to watch. I love TGC a ton, but Rory just seems more fluid.

                        I don't own the game and probably won't based on the reviews but I'm having a hard time figuring out how licensing would prevent a playoff. Could you please explain?

                          I asked this question a few years back about the lack of playoffs in the Tiger Woods series... I believe it was Tiger Woods 13 I was asking about in particular. I had suggested that they just use the ball tracers to represent the shots of the other player(s) with whom you were involved with in the playoff. They responded with the fact that they had considered this and asked their legal dept. about it. Their legal council decided that using a real player's name along with even only a ball and shot tracer to represent them in a playoff *could* be construed as an unauthorized use of said player's "likeness".

                          I know it's a bit of a stretch, but it's a chance they didn't want to take. In the wake of the NCAA Football lawsuit, I can understand it.

                            I understand the paranoia over lawsuits but that seems lame. A workaround would be simply to post the results of the other player in the playoff before the user player tees off. That would be better than nothing.

                              It sounds lame, but I'm not the one putting my money on the line to risk it. Yes, posting the score of the other playoff player for each hole would be better than what we've got now.

                                The other solution would be to only have people in the game with whom they have a signed agreement and the rest of the players are fake generated players.
