Richard4168: TWO is a cartoon game
Both are cartoon games, or neither is. I've now extensively played both games to be able to tell. Have you extensively played both games to be able to judge? Hardly! The only difference I have found between WGT and TWO in terms of their "cartoon" nature is that it's even easier to cheat in TWO, regarding one's average score, than in WGT. TWO allows you to play from gold tees with no wind all the time, and counts each such round as part of the player's average score. So, a player's average score is basically a useless stat in TWO, while it is held in high esteem in WGT, although it's very easy to skew it here as well. TWO, though, offers some alternative metrics to measure a player's true playing skills, such as "career earnings" (in fictitious $).
When you, however, select difficult settings for a TWO round, the game is similarly difficult to play compared to WGT. Tibbets and I entered the same daily tournament over on TWO. He shot a -22, finishing third for the day. I shot a +8 in that same tournament, while no longer a beginner. Difficult pin placements can make all the difference, trust me. That's why we need variable pin placements here in WGT as well.
Richard4168: WGT isn't interested in competition
Who said so? Every well-run business is interested in what their direct competition is doing. Such information is useful for them, helping them to improve their own product. If you wish to see this thread focus on WGT only, Richard, the first step towards doing so is not to post about TWO to this thread yourself. That sub-discussion was finished before you started it all over again. Here, again, is the link to another site where you can discuss that topic all you want: HERE.
