A golf game is 1/2 game play and 1/2 character.

EA took over the computer/golfing arena when they came out with "gameface". The reason for this is that golf is a social game and "character creation" made the difference between EA and their competitors.

Now, EA has let character creation go to the dogs and the only "improvement" to game play in 2007 over 2006 is *removing* things that were bad in the first place. I do give them credit for doubling the golf courses, but -- really -- they should have been there in the first place.

I hope EA will wake up and see that golf games fail based on technical merit and succeed on artistic merit. Well... imho, anyway.
