    And here we are...

      It feels like a part of the fanboy way to counter crap like, "Oh noes, EA won't have any golfers in their game" kind of crap. Using crap to counter crap.

      Well done.
      No casuals as in kids who don't play gold IRL and wouldn't buy a superior football game because it didn't include the players real names. Assume much?

        How do you think this clarification differed from what I just wrote?

          Regardless of the opinions on either side of this issue, I have no idea why anyone in here discussing these games would find a way or reason to call someone out as an ******* or be even slightly antagonistic about any of this. I've only noticed one particular person doing it.

          We're all just golf geeks talking/speculating/anticipating more fun with video golf games here in the next few months. It's all good, isn't it?

            Maybe this signature quote explains it?

            "I think a lot of the anger some fans have toward video games they fear will disappoint them are rooted in unrelated desires for basic existential validation. And I get that. But no video game (or movie, or book, or song) is ever going to fill that hole." - Arthur Gies

            I'm 55 years old and have been playing sports video games exclusively since the late 1980s. I've never played a video game that wasn't baseball, football, basketball, hockey or golf. Since, like, before Sega. Gawd, before Intellivision (their hockey game was revolutionary in the 80s, every hockey player kid like me had to have that as a 12 year old).

            I don't ever remember feeling or having to process any anger issues toward any of them, even the games that sucked. Or towards people that play them or like to post an opinion about them, or have a friendly discussion about them. :-)

            Let's keep it light and fun, eh?

                  We really need some actual information about this game so we can chew on that, as opposed to chewing on each other.

                    For sure. But I haven't noticed a lot of chewing on each other. Just a little bit here and there.

                    It's...a fargin video game. C'mon. Better than talking about the next funeral you're going to.

                      I just hope all this ambiguity doesn't somehow make EA pull the plug entirely.

                        I hope you weren’t talking about me!
                        I know I have had a little back and forth with Sagwi but I never crossed any lines… at least I don’t think I have.

                          That would crush me. I would not recover.

                            I'm sure the uncertainty of what high profile PGA TOUR pros are going to be available for contract, and which ones could possibly bail right after EA contracts them for use of their name and possibly their likeness, is causing them some consternation. I can't see them pulling the plug on the project because of it, but I can see it potentially causing a delay.
