It's a team as a whole that keeps me going.
There are some rumblings that they might be dabbling in golf.

Really? Interesting.
Might be Links related too. Just rumor at this point.

That would be sweet, Links was a great game on the PC.
Maybe it's hard to create a golf game as the audience isn't that big. I enjoy playing golf in real life, I'm no pro, best score this year is a 75, normally in the low-mid 80s holding a 10.7-11 handicap. I enjoy playing TW on simulation, makes it seem more realistic. I'm fine with shooting even par or worse, playing on the easy setting and shooting -26 under through 18 holes is a bit much for me. But I can see where they need to market the game that way to keep people playing...I enjoyed the fishing games on Sega Genesis, but I wouldn't have enjoyed them near as much if they were like real life fishing, sometimes I go out and catch fish, other days I sit there and wonder what I'm doing wrong. You could always catch multiple fish on the video game.
I'd like to see a golf game that put more into the courses, graphics, true golf stuff, the spin after the fact, putting preview, all those make-believe things in my opinion could be removed for game space or development of more real life golf stuff. I.e. if there is just a wind sock, no meter telling you how hard the wind is actually moving it would be cool if you could reach down and throw grass clippings, maybe even no wind sock, if you just had to look around the course and read the trees or flags on nearby greens to get an idea of the wind, that would be cool!
When I play TW on simulation it's amazing how with no putting grid the putts don't break like crazy. When the putting grid is turned ON putts will break 3 feet or more, maybe they could do something for future games, put more detail into the greens so you could still have breaking putts without the green grid showing the break, but with the enhanced details be able to see the breaks.
I'd also like to see all the major manufactures be in the game. I don't know if it's b/c it's Nike vs Titleist or if Titleist just doesn't want their name used, but it would be cool to have Titleist equipment in the game, along with Nike, Odyssey, Callaway, Taylormade, etc...etc.. if Titleist is the number 1 ball in golf it would be cool if you could use them in the game. TW 11 shows Rory on the cover of the game wearing a Titleist hat, a footjoy glove and a Titleist Vokey wedge I assume he's hitting a Titleist golf ball but none of those brands are in the game to use with your golfer.
Can't wait to see what they come out with for the PS4 and Xbox one. I'm leaning towards a PS4 but I think I'm going to wait until they have more sports games out. I've read reviews on both Madden and Fifa for PS4, they sound great but they don't sound 1000 times better than PS3, maybe in a few more years there will a big difference. Those screen shots that were posted of EA's golf game for PS4/Xbox1 look really good, I can see buying a PS4 for that, maybe by that time someone else will be making a college football game....maybe...but if not Madden will probably be strides better than the same game for PS3.

Would be nice to dream though. Imagine seeing a Choops game again? Man that would be sweet.
Man just reading these last few posts and the thought of NCAA football or hoops would be so much fun! I wish they were always generic from the start, son of a gun!!
NCAA holds firm: No pay for play
http://espn.go.com/college-sports/st...y-model-coming
Well that leaves two options: (1) NCAA Collapses and new organization allows it OR (2) Big Boys leave NCAA and form new Pay For Play Conference permitting college sports to return to video games should a publisher decide it is worth it.
You know schools don't wanna pay so option B is out.
Actually I think SOME schools would love to just get it out in the open and pay the players the same amount or more than they are already giving their top athletes.
The Big 10 has already said that if they have to start paying that they're dropping levels. Who in their right mind is gonna start paying kids?
If you get it out in the open, Title IX will come into play.
Shhhhhh the pay the athletes crowd doesn't know that. I cannot wait until that lawsuit happens.
The NCAA is getting killed in court today. Read SI's Stewart Mandel's tweets. Good stuff.

Interesting questions from Judge Wilken about antitrust arguments. Refers to NCAA as licensing "middleman" between athletes and broadcasters
— Stewart Mandel (@slmandel) February 20, 2014Judge Wilken to NCAA: "if a football game is a first amendment activity, how can they license an exclusive deal to one network?"
— Stewart Mandel (@slmandel) February 20, 2014Judge Wilken to NCAA: why can't schools pay a broadcast licensing fee to athletes and put into a trust for after they leave?
— Stewart Mandel (@slmandel) February 20, 2014Judge seems surprised by plaintiffs' contention that they're not seeking money for athletes, only the lifting of restrictions against it.
— Stewart Mandel (@slmandel) February 20, 2014Judge Wilken says she doesn't agree with NCAA's contentions that restraint against payment benefits competitive balance in college sports.
— Stewart Mandel (@slmandel) February 20, 2014Judge Wilken on amateurism justification: "I don't think amateurism is going to be a useful word here."
— Stewart Mandel (@slmandel) February 20, 2014Judge to NCAA: "Maybe you could enforce more competitive balance by addressing coaches salaries."

lol no shocker they are in Federal Court in San Fransico. The jury pool will only be slightly better. NCAA's only hope is SCOTUS as the 9th Circuit isn't any different. I love how the media pretends to be surprised that a FAR-LEFT judge on the bench wants players to get paid and wants to stick it to the evil rich man (NCAA). The "journalism" in this country is an absolute joke. I've said it from day one NCAA (and when EA was in the lawsuit EA) would have to go all the way up to win. If only we could just save the time and ask SCOTUS if they want the case now or not.
Alas, formalities in law must be followed so the media can act like this judge is some middle of the rode and blind jurist faithfully following the law.
SHOCKER OF THE CENTURY! liberal judge permits lawsuit against The Man to go to trial. /sarcasm

NCAA was gonna let players' names and numbers be in the game.

What will the impact of player unions have on the future of the game?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
None necessarily. The NCAA has to either: (1) cease to exist; or (2) cave on the issue of players getting paid for the use of their "likeness" in the game.
If (and ONLY if) 1 or 2 happens then a national Union (assuming it gets that large) could negotiate the price EA/Another Company would have to pay to use the players' "likeness" in the game (just like the NFLPA etc...).
