stick to using your turbo controller rather than attempting comedy, your about as funny as aids.

lol no one said it was illegal. so try again, or is 'its legal' the only excuse turbo users can come up with to try and convince themselves its fair?

We cant even play in tournaments were I can use my spin and power. My rating is almost 3000. The only ones I can play are tour mode , extreme , and some silly power capped tourney that is also a single try. The ones were I can spin and power up on... have been the pro character tourneys were you use the real pros. Everyone online is having the same issue... so all they do is go shoot like a +26 or some horrible round so that there rating drops and there aloud to play in other tournaments. I went and tried it today and just shot limited on every hole. I shot a +126. I then checked my rating and to my suprise it actually went up 100 points. So the rating system is definately messed up and doesn't work right anyways, sorry. I understand that people like the power cap and the single try, thats fine those are fun. But why are we forced to play tour mode... Most of the players online play default which is now reffered to as "AMATEUR MODE". I guess you guys did that to make all the tour mode forum geeks happy. Which is also fine... I understand. And there is an obvious seperation between the two player types. I meen tour mode guys play tour mode and default guys play default. There are some like myself who enjoy both, but I would rather play default. I guess all I'm getting at is that there should be a daily tournament in "amatuer mode" so that evryone can play in it and all the best "amateur" players have a tournament to compete in without worrying about dropping there rating. I meen why am I aloud to play in a Semi-Pro tourney but not aloud to play in a PRO tourney. players are basically sacrificing a tour mode tournament (that they most likely don't care about anyway)just to play in a default tourney.

And I gotta mention the "one wind thing". It's fine... everyone knows that a 1 wind is sometimes a 1 wind and sometimes it's a zero wind, and it usually plays like a cup if its blowing right or left. So basically you can take dead aim at the pin and usually its going in the cup if you can hit it straight. It's fine for online play But not for the tourneys. Everyone on the 360 can tell the difference between a 1 wind and a zero wind simply by looking at the trees. But when your getting waves of "one wind not playing" on every hole of a tournament, avid players are going to shoot rediculous scores. espescially if they can restart. Someone could shoot a really good score and have the lead all day and then in the wee hours of the night when you get those zero winds, any old joe shmo that knows what he's doing could easily come destroy there score with very little effort. Prime example>> someone had a great score on the vj singh tourney it was up all day. and I know that they had some breezy winds. I went to play it at about 2am and every hole was 1 wind not playing (zero wind). I beat his score by two shots on my 1rst try. When I woke up the next morning my score had been beaten by 2. Put it this way .. I holed out 6 shots from the fairway with vj and I never played with him before. Thats how easy it is for us. So the wind should never be a one in a tournament unless its one wind for everyone all day. Because now people wont even play the tournaments until late becuase they are waiting on one winds. It's not fair to some one who shoots a good round with wind.

Ok almost done...I posted something about not being able to finish, submit , or restart a round on the tournaments with out going to my dash board everytime because the "retrieving details" loading box freezes evertime. Well it still happens and I had to buy another account just to play in the tournaments. And There are many many others who have the same issue and as a result have just given up on the live tournaments. This will also effect there entrys in contests.

One final issue that is basically the biggest issue since 07. Please design the next game so that you can play and compete with a microsoft or ps3 standard controller. Everyone that plays online ps3 or x box 360 uses an after market controller. I dont care who gets on here and says they play with a y axis or a ms controller. There may be a few who do but believe me, 99% of the players all use a gamestop joytech or madcatz for the 360 and a hori turbo for the ps3. especially if you want to compete in tour mode. Making the sweet spot more sensitive will do nothing but push the sales of junk controllers, and turn away new comers. TW08 and TW06 were the closest to perfection in this department. Even then there was an advantage with an after market controller. People online usually play on calm wind were you usually get a couple zero winds per 9 holes and if you can't hit it perfectly straight or should I say if your using a standard controller, these are holes your gonna lose on. It's really not fair to the newbs.

Thanks for Reading and hopefully Listening- bdubyas@yahoo.com

Bdubyas - I agree with everything here man, once again spot on, I too am still having the retrieving details error in live tournaments, but I would like to add something which I am sure you will accept and agree on:

I may have posted something before but EA I would really like a reply on this one.

Bdubyas, Mixie1316, and I were at EA Sports in February for the Gillette champions of gaming competition along with a whole load of other gamers.

I mean points online mean nothing and we all know who the top players are, but the fact that we were told to our face by a couple of EA Staff Members that the online point system would be different has not happened:

- We were told if your partner disconnects you will not lose any points! This is still happening, and what is the reasoning for taking 30% of your current points when you lose connection?? I will not mention any names here who we were informed by
- My main pain and many others feel the same way, I merely play for fun and try to hole out as many holes as I can, but the fact that if the game does not even load up, i.e. either freezes or server connection issues, the host loses 500 points a pop. Why this, this was never around in 09, so why bring it in now??

Personally I think the whole point structure must be changed soon, you are making the whole Tiger Woods "Its in the game" - An absolute War to try to climb rank, I can sit in the lobby for an hour trying to get a game.

Why not do what Gears of War do and try to match make a game, so there is no kicking, etc, and people play people on the same skill levels?

Why even lose any points whatsoever? If you win you get points, and that is it, why make it like there is a do or die situation with points - It has turned many people that I knew into weird and angry people, just trying to climb rank - What the hell guys, it is a video game and not life or death.

EA, people are so concerned about single try tournies etc, and I agree with one try only, I mean because of the retrieving details error after each tourney I play in, I am basically using any tourney as single try until this bug is fixed. But why not fix the point system, so the game of golf can be fun and enjoyed with a laugh without everyone fighting there way up.

I have 1000pts and really anyone who knows me, knows I give it a good go to win, but I do not ever kick anyone, I do not cry and moan if I dont have points, and from a post I read earlier from someone, half of the top top players dont even care about points.

Do not dock points even if the game has not loaded!!!!!

Do not take 30% of your points if there is a dnf

Do not dock points if your partner disconnects!!

Possibly look at the point system that was used in TW06

I hope I get a reply
