Golf is different than the NHL NBA and NFL. One deal doesn't secure every venue I believe. Each course has its own contract, Augusta could've simply said no.
Yeah, Augusta is picky as hell. It could be pretty much anything. They didn't like the way the course looked in game after they converted it to next gen. They didn't want to have Augusta in a game that is named after someone who has never won there. Who knows.
TW14 is still a great game when you get the right settings. I'll be judging this game on gameplay, not the fact that one course isn't in the game. We should consider ourselves lucky that we got Augusta in the best EA golf game to date, to be honest.
I get why people want it, but it's not like it has been a mainstay of golf games in the past. It's also not like there is another option out there.
If it's as good as the last several editions, I'm definitely buying. I'll have it on EA Access before spending my money, so I'm not really sweating it. I'm really looking forward to it.

TGC has a pretty decent version of Augusta available already...
I want to see actual gameplay showing the crowds actually walking between holes and other players on the course....
Can't wait to see this myself. There was a short clip in the frostbite clip showing spectators walking. I'm not holding my breath for other players on the course though.
This game without Augusta is equivalent to a Nascar game without Daytona. Pass.
That's a pretty ridiculous statement given the fact that the series has been around for what... 12 years at least? and Augusta has only been in it the last 3 or so.
I get that it sucks that it's not in it, but lets not act like it's some key piece of the game and that without it the game is worthless. Then, like some go worship another game that has no real courses whatsoever.
Daytona is required to play a NASCAR title because it's part of the season. So is Augusta, I get that, but there's numerous other courses that aren't in the game that the PGA tour stops at.
Again, I get that Augusta is a big deal, and it sucks to me too that it's not going to be there, but lets not get carried away here.
What's important to me with this title is all of the modes and features being there. You can't help it if Augusta declined to license again this year (if that's what happened) or if EA just couldn't work out a deal to get it done. Licensing is tricky. It is what it is at this point.
Either way you want to look at it, this is an EA access try before I buy title to me. I have TGC. I'm ok with it. I can get by with it. I'd prefer this title based on it's visuals alone, but it's going to have to play a good round of golf too, not just impress my eyes. Augusta isn't going to make or break it for me, just like it didn't in the past when it wasn't available.
