People are seriously stressing out on simutaneous play? Why? I'd rather not be limited by someone taking 50 years to make the shot and complete the hole then wait. I do agree that it should be an option.
Many are disturbed by the lack of turn based play, because that's how golf is played. EA puts all this effort into creating virtual representations of these golf courses yet it's not possible to play a normal game of golf with your friends online. Simultaneous play is not a normal game of golf. Turn based play should be the default. Simultaneous play should be an option. You might as well just play by yourself if everyone is just going to play through each other the entire round. And to each his own, but I have zero interest in seeing the ghost images of other golfers and their ball trails while I'm playing a given hole.
