sirputterman, no i have not played any other TW pc games online. i dont know what im missing. i just tried to give you answers based on the impressions of forum responses. i wish i have played but then again if i did, i feel that i would be pretty disappointed with this game. however i did a search for player created games for TW 08 and i found a lot (A LOT!!!) of awesome looking courses. i would love to use CA software. i just dont think EA is going to give us the opportunity of creating our own. "big daddy EA" will give you the keys to drive it but you'll never own it

I agree AXE if EA wants any hope of the true sim player to hang in there and wait for the things we want than keeping the 08 servers going until we do get these features would be a very wise public relations move. If they shut them down and think we will have to play this game sorry dudes that isn't going to happen. All you will do is drive the last nail in the coffin.
Cmon EA throw us a bone if you can't deliver the product we ask for at least for now, let us keep what we have until you can.

I'll be right behind you AXE, on vacation in another week and will have one ready then. Another also in the works, might as well keep designing as long as we can because it will be awhile before buying this game.

They could just shut them down and force us to play this game or no game.

If I hear the words "after the initial release" one more time, I swear.....


Oh yeah, I had my appendix out the other day, The Surgeon sent me home, blood and wriggly bits hanging out all over the place, i said hey MAN - what about some stitches??? Well he said I hadnt SPECIFIED stitches when I agreed to have my appendix out, but now that I am complaining well, just maybe I can have it ..... later...

So I jumped in a cab and told the driver my address, the driver reached over and took $50 out of my wallet, then sat there and read the paper. I said "arent you gonna drive me to my house?" he said"well you didnt SPECIFY that. He said he would drive me home... one day.....

for gods sake EA this is seriously insulting now. This was supposed to be for the PC Golfers.. remember - the guys who bought your product year in year out until you dumped them with no more product? Now we have this arcade rubbish that we could have got if we wanted to play on a console... SORRY but I have been "nice" and "patient" for ages now - when I am *********** enough, I get a little tetchy.....

Is anyone at TWO prepared to give an HONEST response to these questions, that were ALWAYS the big questions, the questions you have skirted around now for months on end because we - the customers, are TOO THICK to be told anything about your plans ???:

* Will there be a course architect (or similar ability for custom courses)?
* If so ..WHEN?
* Will there be a turn based multiplayer?
* If so ..WHEN?
* Will there be different levels of play (like the old novice, intermediate, Advanced and Expert modes)?
* If so ..WHEN?
* Will there be user set tournaments?
* If so ..WHEN?
* Will there be multiplay options for: alt Shot, 4 ball, Stableford, Skins etc?
* If so ..WHEN?
* Will the 3 click meter be speeded up so that a 4 year old cant score 24 under?
* If so ..WHEN?
* How are you going to charge for players to play this game? How much and with what sort of structurE?

And one big question:

* Is EA sports, who have supposedly just laid off a large number of employees, abandoning the whole TW Series, meaning you guys are possibly out of a job and this has been a phenominal waste of time?


I await an honest, transparent and complete reponse.

Thank you in anticipation (and one last attempt at patience).

Davy

Something I forgot, Clambakers used a program, developed by Darryl, that allowed you to put together tournaments independent of the EA servers. If that program could be adapted for each community running tours then we could continue with TW08 for as long as it would continue to run on computers. That is if Darryl is willing and has the time, I for one would think about donating my subscription fee to the endeavor before paying for an unfinished product.

Hey Silent, that is why we are asking EA to throw us loyal customers a bone and not shut down the servers right away.
I hope they will listen...

Maybe someone who is more articulate then I, would put together a request to EA from us Hard Core Loyal Customers, that have been buying the TW's PC Disk for years now, leave the servers up and not shut them down right away. Then when they start to incorporate the things we love, into the game we can crossover...

Hi Larry, I agree totally - hopefully EA will get the message.
