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