And since that was the case, I guess attribute differences weren't a consideration then after all - in terms of getting Titleist into the game.
Though it did cross my mind if this whole cosmetic idea was done to appease all the different companies so no one looked bad.
That a set of Titleist Clubs play just as well as a generic EA set. Are we really all that gullible?
I don't think any of us are going to buy clubs based on how they play in a video game.
@ELF014I wouldn't be surprised if that was something that a brand (or brands) brought up when licensing discussions happened in future games...like some brand executives were offended when their brand was portrayed as a "lesser" brand than others.
Even in EA PGA Tour, some clubs (specifically, a few Scotty Cameron putters) can only be bought with the green currency that's only attainable by paying real money. So it seems like some brands have a higher view of their value, exclusivity, and "quality".
