If you guys are looking for a third, I'd certainly like to check out MP, too.

I have to also mention how nicely I feel the wind affects your shot. It does so where one has to be coherent of it, but it's not overly obtrusive and feels organic. It's extremely nice playing a current golf title that uses a global wind system, as opposed to a random one.

Good to hear the news on the v-sync enabling Jeff! Does the menu show that your are enabling v-sync to 30, or does it just show "ON" or "ENABLED"?

Awesome. It's JRider95. I've got to head to the office around 2 but hopefully it gets turned on before then.

Man, these impressions are great, but it's making the wait so hard. So bummed that I won't be able to until the end of next week.

One thing I also love is how the entire environment is open to your use at all times. When you use the scout camera you can basically zoom all the way out and see all the holes around you. This gets rid of the "trapped" feeling that I sometimes had in TW when I needed a more creative path to get out of a difficult position after a bad shot.


They also seemed to have nailed the impact that rough and hazards will have on your shot. It depends on how the ball enters the terrain (a high lofted shot that lands in a bunker will be buried and therefor penalize you more whereas a ball that just gently trickles in will sit nicely on top of the sand and as long as you swing well you'll get roughly 97% distance), the angle of the lie, the club you are using, etc.


The more I play this game the more I really like it. I think they've established a very, very nice base on which to build on.
