I'm disabled; my days are spent going to work, coming home and drinking a cold beer. That has recently been happily added to playing a round of golf a night; recently winning "The Players". Imagine my surprise to see the work and dedication going into the presentation and design of a championship 4 rounds of golf. Made me very happy; I am looking forward to qualifying for the Masters. If a few tweaks, added store, and some more patches are in the works; then this will be the greatest golf game ever made. Thank you very much for all your hard work and dedication to making this lonely guy happy.

Yes, thank you EA, having the most fun playing a golf game in decades. The graphics the presentation the commentary really really good. Love to see people walking on the cart paths in the background while you're about to hit it makes it seem submersive. The courses are very good and the challenge is there for me. Awesome! Can't wait to see all the improvements and add-ons in the future.

I haven’t been playing too long yet but I really do enjoy the game. Yes there are a few bugs but that is almost expected these days and we hope you will keep working through them. As for features, here is my wish list:-* Being able to play every shot type from the get go. Understand that we shouldn’t be good at each one but we should at least have the option to putt from off the green regardless of how good a player you are.* Having correct AI playing partner in all rounds if you like (toggle on/off). If in final round and not a featured player, just put a character on there instead and play in the correct order and correct time. If you’re in the final pairing you want to play last. Even if it was ghosted and you could at least see your opponents ball in correct play order.* Ability to choose 1,2,3 or 4 round tournaments. Or fix the AI in the 4 or 5 hole “short rounds”. I play the short rounds, shoot 2 under in my 5 holes then finish the round 3 over par and miss the cut. It doesn’t seem right to me.* Ability to choose the position of the tee to place your ball.* Gameface* More game modes online and ability to setup your own tour with your mates (dare i say it on here but similar to tgc tours on 2k).* Both me and my daughter play this game but rewards (i think) and settings all relate to user id and not individual player.* Quicker way to earn rewards because i think people these days are impatient and want to improve faster without having to dedicate entire nights for weeks to improve. People have families and can’t play all the time.I probably have more however sitting at an airport typing this. Thank you for the game, thank you for listening and please keep improving on it because i think despite the bugs there are a lot of positives here and we all want to see it continue to improve.

I'm pretty vocal about my criticisms of the game here (and sometimes my other EA beefs bleed into them), but the truth is, I really, really like the core game.I've dialed in my settings so that just reaching par on any given course is a challenge. I'm pretty happy with the swing mechanics, and enjoy figuring out the math and approach of each shot. The presentation is excellent, and the course graphics and overall sounds are best in class, in my opinion. I've played two rounds tonight, and continue to be drawn to the game on a daily basis, because of the quality of the core gameplay, and presentation.But those things deserves better from the rest of the package, and it's really that simple. You know it. I know it. We all know it.I hope that the game is crafted and polished into what it can, and should, be. A great golf game is a rare thing, but EA's done it before (Rory). If they stick with this, and treat it right, they're very close to doing it again.
