Ive been playing golf sims going all the way back to the very first sims ever created...none of them were perfect...some came close like PGA 2ooo by sierra sports which had a kick ass course designer...I won several rewards for origional course designs and for a few real courses as well..I was also one of the course designers for the early tiger woods games before headgate came along...I really like WTG using photo based graphics for a realistic looking representation...but do to possible lawsuits they have to pay license fees...pay photographers to take all the screen shots...etc and by nature computor golf isnt played by that many ppl like halo for example so for the programers of WTG this is probably more a labor of love and has to be done on there own time..I really would love to see a few more courses though...as long as this games been out would 4 courses per year be impossible?

I always enjoyed designing...as for just pure playing enjoyment...WTG has the same problem or benifits that most sims have..i love enough of the good things WTG brings to the table...hope they keep making smart improvments and keep this franchise running for a long time..

WOW, went through the ten pages of exchange here.. some very meaningful and valid points, and some not so.

At the end of the day, what matters is that WGT is a successful business venture run by a smart management team (I would assume) inspite of what anyone else thinks. Did you guys buy clubs off them? Yes, then you contributed to their revenue and success.

Tibbets in your own words you have admitted to the fact that you could not be heard so far even after repeated attempts to reach out to the management team. That says something, does'nt it?

When you (Tibbets) say"

Right now, this game isn't all that much fun for me. Personally, I've taken 'my game' to as good as a level as it can possibly get within the boundaries of the system in place.

"I think you've got that figured out pretty accurate, and you would probably not move any lower till the "beast" is eliminated. I can pretty well understand your frustrations and in a way share them too having gone through the grind, although I am no way even close to the levels that you play at.

I could'nt agree more with Callawayjay's post dated 06/29. That pretty much sums it I guess.

I think we all need to put that smile back on, and enjoy, whether its the WGT or TWO - It's just a game ;)

Peace and GL all.

Funny how people keep replying to this thread that has nothing to do with the topic....WGT VS TWO.

I played the 1st hole on Pebble Beach the other day, and it kicked my butt......I still haven't got my beta key to be able to really play, ( a few people have been kind to let me check it out, until I get my key hopefully) Anyways, it seems like it could be fun, but when they get multiplayer, then it will be a lot funner!!!

Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self confidence.

I will probably play both. I've only played TW on console and always enjoyed them. I wouldn't disregard this one. WGT and TW are each good in their own right so please don't ask me to pick just one! :)

I may not be as good at TW yet but I'm new to it and still in practice mode. I'll get there in time hehe.

Nonsense. It's perfectly admissible to succinctly state one's position on the subject of any thread without bothering to read the foregoing posts in that thread. (Although one does run the danger of possibly duplicating something stated before by someone else.) What is not admissible is to pretend to debate another specific contributor in the same thread, without bothering to read that contributor's posts properly.

The topic at hand is the future, my friend, not the past. They are comparing the NEW Tiger Woods Online to this WGT.

I didn't read all of this, but for my money Links Champion Edition was heads and shoulders better than anything i've seen. The elite mode was very challenging to say the least. Plus there was every course you could think of including Augusta...Pebble Beach...Spy Glass...Riveria....Firestone. You name it they had it. My 2 cents. Plus it played good online.

Please can everyone stop? I've beginning to think it's about time this thread was locked so the argument (in public, at least) would stop!

You speak volumes against yourself Faterson.

I was more referring to my success in the tournaments where the winning score for 4 rounds is par or worse. We don't seem to have that here at WGT...hmmm.

Apparently it's easy to shoot 55 anywhere...from the ladies tee. Doesn't matter if it's this game or that one. I see you conveniently use my 55 score as "proof" of TWO's shortcomings while disavowing the Ladies Tee tournament here in the International Open. Very convenient.

Well yeah, the Tiger Woods games have always had the reputation that it's too easy to excel in them, so what else is new? Wasn't one of the things everyone was praising WGT for the realistic scores achieved here (apart from that one absurd red-tees tournament)? The fact that you, Tibbets, barely having arrived at TWO, have already managed to get a round of 55 and a 380+yd drive there seems to speak volumes against the game, rather than for it.

Well, I'm kicking a$$ and taking names over there, so it seems to be playing just fine for me :)

Actually these forums are designed to provide feedback to the programers.

Enjoy you rounds.

It may have escaped you, but the purpose of discussion forums is exachange of opinions, not exchange of animosities. Please post a link to a forum post where I showed wilful animosity to other forum users, the way you do habitually. I don't think there is such a post. If you can't stand my opinions, Crusty56, just ignore them or counter them rationally. Don't spout animosity instead.
