I´m so unhappy I was starting to feel this game
Ppl please Quote if ur happy or unhappy

It is unfortunate, Gunnar, but I think EA realizes that this is a deal-breaker, and that it will be addressed after the game launches. They really need to get this thing out and start realizing some return on their investment.

Honstly so far I am 85% happy if not 90% happy.

where does it say there will be no turned based MP? my undestanding was there would but it would be after launch

Not sure if this is true or not. If it is true, I can tell you I won't pay a penny to play TWO. How in the heck could you even think about releasing a golf game where you can't actually "play" against another player???

please post the quote from EA to confirm this.

I agree Carn I need to hear this from the horses mouth to believe it.However if it is true talk about slitting your own throat This is a deal breaker for many old TW golfers, I just hope that there was a miss communication somewhere .

No turned based MP until AFTER release is okay by me, just as long as this game keeps advancing the features as they have, the amount of work that has gone into this game so far is unbelievable.

Hats off to the DEV. team!

Remember to have patience all!

This is all I have seen. go here and scroll down to read what EA_Greg say's.. He say's after release..

Like I have said in other posts, I can wait on simple things till after or closer to release, but let's get on the stick and address some of the major issues the testers are coming back with now....

SimJoseph, I understand your frustration and I thank you for your patience during this beta period. I realize that you have not been in every Beta from the beginning, but I assure you (and I believe other beta testers will agree) that we have made some significant progress in the 5 months since we started beta testing this product.

At the same time, I feel I should re-iterate that some of the features that are being requested (i.e. 3D Grass, Turn-Based Multiplayer) will not be part of the initial launch of TWO. These features were never in our plans for the title's inital launch, but rather future features we planned on rolling out post-launch. We are aware of the forum community's passion for these features and do plan on introducing them in the future.

The other major point of contention on the forums is the difficulty of the game. As I have stated before, TWO is aimed at a MUCH larger audience than TW PC and as such we need to provide an experience that is easy to pick up and get started playing for a new user. We do not want to alienate new user with difficult conditions, ambiguous controls and no aids. At the same time, we do want to cater to our loyal and hardcore fans and provide them with an online golf experience that is fun and challenging for them as well. We are working on designing solutions where both types of players (casual and hardcore) can have a fun experience. You likely will not see any changes here until Open Beta and I suspect we will need to go through several iterations before we arrive at a solution that is satisfacory for both camps of players.

In closing I would like to remind you also that TWO is very different from former Tiger PC titles in another very major way. We are no longer on a yearly release schedule; meaning that you will not see a TWO 11, TWO 12, TWO 13, etc. Instead, this title will simply be Tiger Woods PGA TOUR Online and will be refined, tuned, upgraded and updated on a consistent basis from the day we launch. Expect the version of TWO you play a year from now to be MUCH different than the version you see now. If you feel the version that is released at the end of Open Beta does not measure up to your expectations, then I ask that you check in from time to time and see what we've changed, updated or added. You may eventually find a title that exceeds your expectations tenfold.

As always, thanks again for your time, your patience and your feedback.

as i understand this, turn.based multiplayer will not be part of the initial launch but will/might be implemented in the future.

i for one appreciate that EA made a clear statement r/g this issue because for me this is the main (if not only problem) this game has and before this feature (turn.based multiplayer) isn't available, TWO is not an option for me.

i can live with about every single problem i encountered over the last weeks i played this beta and/or that has been mentioned here on this forum - most of them (if important to both the community and EA) will probably be solved over the time.

for me, beeing the social golfer i am, who loves to shoot a few rounds WITH others, simultaneous play just doesn't work. i know, it speeds up the game, the arces look cool and i can imagine that the devs of this game are pretty proud about it (which they should) but it takes away what's most important for me in playing a game - the, how i like to call it -

hanging.out.together.shooting.some.balls.all.over.the.place.whilst.having.and.making.fun.of.each.others.shots.on.skype.factor
and, sorry to say this, with simultaneous play (as fancy as it is) that's just not possible.

pls don't jump the gun now on me, don't get me wrong - i'm far from beeing one of those who yell " GIVE ME THAT OR I WONT PAY!"-personas. that's neither my style nor my point. it's EA running this game and they have every right (and obligation) to develop this product in whatever direction they feel is the right one.

and for me the point is not even the paying.one - if or how much they would charge for this product is, if in certain limits, pretty irrelevant to me. (as someone who smokes AND drinks red bull i am used to spend money on things that are absolutely not neccessary ) fact is just, i wouldn't even play this game over a longer period of time if it would be FREE TO PLAY because it just doesn't have that one feature, that's most important to me. i am willing to play golf without clubs and balls before giving up the fun i have in playing it WITH friends.

as mentioned before in a post, i like this game a lot and so do my friends but, with this feature missing, it probably won't be our thing. but then again, let's finish beta.testing and see what EA comes up with when they finally launch it- maybe they'll surprise us.

greets, rene (Snoooks)

ps/again, don't shoot me for that i said, turn.based multiplayer is the most important thing in this game - this is only my very personal opinion, i know very well for most of you other things are more important and i respect that. just pls, even tho you don't share it, respect my opinion too.

in tw pc games, once i completed all the objectives and got to #1 player in the world, then i went on to the online version against other players...was loads of fun, made some friends, had some arguments, very challenging and i really enjoyed it..if two is released with some kind of career mode and offline challenges to work on, a waiting period for turn based playwould be ok however, i probably wouldn't renew after the first year if the turn based play with other people wasnt available by then

the quote from Snooks does not confirm the title of the thread,turn based MP will not be in the initial launch but will come latter.

No Chit Sherlock..lol, just messing with ya Carn.

This is how I play it now:



This represents a step forward.

This represents a step backward.

This is simply my opinion.

I have no beef with the Dev's/EA team as they do a great job. I will keep watching and hope they provide me and other like-minded golfers with our (admittedly) selfish needs.

BTW, respect to you Snooks, great post - I also love your freeform writing style
Peace to the people.
