If I was blind towards EA, I wouldn't have bought this game early right?

??? What you choose to buy/support is your choice bro and I would not think less of anyone choosing to support them. I would disagree with the choice but it is yours none the less......I have a lot of people in my life that make choices I disagree with over far more important issues than buying video games and I still like them and support them.....but not their choices.

For me blind support is not seeing critical issues or ignoring them or expecting others that do see them to not say anything etc. There are critical issues with this publisher and its QC and product support. I want great games, fun times etc and I realize there will be issues but leaving the customer with those issues and expecting them to forgive/forget and line up every year for another dose well, I am over it until it changes.

I lurked here for over a year before joining as primarily a sports gamer. It was through this site that my interests have WAY BROADENED to shooters, rpgs etc. I watch what you and more often Tommy play and try new things based on what you guys play. I don't/won't miss unsupported buggy sports games now

You're missing the point. It's blind hate due to ridiculous comments as shown earlier that were posted a while back.

What one has done over the other is a different argument.

Figured an intelligent sports guy like you dug realism? In all seriousness the battleship issue for me was a marketing problem. I never thought that that would be the focus of the game, just part that I would pass on playing. I imagine if FIFA added random land mines mode as an option you would pass, no?

[skipwondah33]

No one is wrong for their choice of game...whichever is preferred for another may not be the same for someone else

If I like PGA/Rory it shouldn't be stupid or a wrong choice. Or drinking the kool-aid, fan boy, "holding gun to head", etc

If someone likes Golf Club so be it as well.

I play real golf when I want realism..not a video game anyway...even one that I spend $60 on. No game is all that challenging anyway and never will be when enough time is spent on it

I don't know, that would make for some interesting soccer!

I've got a lot of great ideas, problem is most of them suck

I would not play that mode, no. But I wouldn't pass on the game altogether because of it.

Did you pass on NCAA because of Mascot Mashup? I think not.

Haha I'll be on the lookout.

But for people who don't buy it doesn't concern me on the game they chose as if it were the wrong choice to do with their money I didn't earn or help them earn haha

Or One-Button Mode.

I played that mode (for the trophy) #WhoreForLife

Granted but imagine if after every game of fifa if you did not remember to reset a couple of players on your roster after every game your entire line up changed? You don't discover your forgetfulness until your next online game....oops i have tards instead of my team....drop and loss....cheers..... First world problem no doubt but before a "fix" you did not have this pain to deal with. After the fix you do.....but because you enjoy the game you play on as a fix is dangled then poof......nada.

A broken game is a different conversation than "battleships are dumb".

In a quick look, this game had slightly lower metacritic scores than TW14. From that, it's tough to say either game is better or that this game has changed the marketplace significantly. Sounds to me like it's simply about preference.

I prefer no golf. Some like TGC and laugh at battleships. Some like EA's game and say TGC is boring (sounds like they nailed Sim if golf is boring, lol). In the end, who cares? I agree with Skip. Spend your money however you like.

As far as broken games go, I can't fault you for refusing to support what you perceive to be a shitty product. I haven't played much Madden since circa 2004 because there are flaws that I can't get past. That said, I don't waste much energy shitting on guys who like it. Sadly, there are people with nothing better to do than to try and ruin the experience for others (I don't lump you into this category).

No company is perfect. How many dozens of PS3 games had little post-game support with the PS4 on the horizon?

Blind hate based on the ridiculousness of his comments. EA had a gun to my head? Really? Oh, and they are still charging to have a career mode for those who already have the game. If Tiger did that in the past, he would have LOST HIS SHIT.

Just calling it as I see it. Just because you bought TGC does not lessen your bias towards EA games. Pretty sure you buy tons of games that never get much gameplay, outside of trying to raise your trophy count. You seem to be hard on one game and the other you give a pass, after pass, after pass. Where was your hard hitting analysis on all the problems with the Tiger Woods series?

I don't think anyone here considers TGC to be perfect and without fault, as there are numerous issues with the game. What is refreshing is a development team that interacts with their customers, implements their ideas for the game and supports it long after the fact. The course creation tool was the selling point for the game. They do not have any of the fancy licenses, so they went after a segment of the golf community that desires to not only play golf but build course. Courses that you would never get to play otherwise.

One is an established license that has been on the market for more than a decade, the other is a first entry into the market from a much smaller company. Hopefully, one day, you will figure out the difference between the two and why one deserves a little more slack than the other.

You clearly didn't do your research. How many hours have I put into Battlefield, NBA Live, Destiny, NBA 2K, on and on with not many trophies earned.

Congrats on ignoring all the points I made in the post above. Feel free to ignore this reply too.

I was just regurgitating what you always say about being a Trophy whore.

Only one or two steps away from whipping out dicks and having a measuring contest on stream.
