I'm giving the Wii version a shot this year, specially with the motion+. I've been buying the 360 version for the last three years, but the problem with the 360 version is that once you master the game and get in a tournament, you finish with an unrealistic -50 for a 4 day tourney; playing in the pro level. At least with the Wii you will have the challenge of swinging the wiimote.

Does anyone have a link to the course list? 28 courses is like over double what they have ever had before...Hopefully they aren't a bunch of tacked-on fake/fantasy courses.

EA is going to sell a ton of these especially if they run TV ads during the US Open next week. I hope that Best Buy will have some sort of demo available. I'd love to try it out.
it's golf. There's your validation
If motionplus adds the refinement that it promises to a videogame golf swing, this will be huge for sportsgamers and golf lovers.

Just picked it up at Gamestop on lunch. I'm more excited to play disc golf than normal golf:lol

I just picked it up--it comes with a free 1-year subscription to Golf Digest or 6 issues of Golf World for those who are interested.
The problem, though, is that the website to redeem the subscription is not active.

Because video game "journalists" are such lightweight pansies that it takes them 2 weeks to recover from the 3 beers that they had at E3 parties. This shit happens every year after E3 if you pay attention.

Oakmont Country Club!
Wow - I can't ever remember Oakmont being in a licensed game ( the mod community made a few nice versions of it in Jack Nicklaus Golden Bear Golf for the PC - years ago).
Oakmont is legendary in Pittsburgh. It supposedly costs more than $50,000 just to join the club, and then several thousand per year in fees. My Dad got to play it once because he knew a member.
I can't wait to play Oakmont using Motion +.....

Then you haven't played Links 2004 (Xbox), which featured Oakmont and which is an absolutely fan-fucking-tastic console golf game (Tiger is finally catching up, which is actually pretty damned sad).

No way! I can't believe I missed that on the original XBox.
Nothing could top Augusta National on the old Jack Nicklaus PC game. They even had the copyrighted Masters music to go along with the course.

too many good games coming out. I can't justify buying the same one twice. heh.
My copy came yesterday from the EA Store.
MotionPlus works pretty well. I tested it out on "standard" control, which is in the middle of All-Play (easy mode) and Advanced (I assume it's unforgivingly accurate). I did a Quick Play, and was able to get par or better on most holes, which for me is quite a feat. Long-range putting is a bit difficult (just like real life!) but I'm sure I'll get better with practice (just like real life!). Also, driving feels great -- I was able to fade my drive left or right pretty easily.
Overall, it's a lot of fun, and I haven't even checked out the mini-games, multiplayer, or disc golf yet. It certainly is more entertaining than your standard golf game (ex: PS360 version).

I haven't bought a golf game since Mario Golf GBC. This game annihilates. Finally, having to worry about both your backswing and power/follow through in a golf game. The control scheme at last surpasses the control scheme I thought couldn't be beaten in golf, that, of course, being the trackball.
And the amount of content in this game is overwhelming.

My impressions:
First and foremost--BUY THIS GAME. It is, by far, THE most realistic golf game I've ever played. The swing mechanic is perfect--picks up every little bit of fade and draw (much improved over last year's version) in your swing. That doesn't mean it's unforgiving, though--once you learn the mechanics of the swing, you'll be fine. The fine-tuning of shorter swings is light years ahead of last year's version. I had a hard time taking shots under 50% last year no matter how small my backswing and how short my follow through. This year, if you swing with 1/4 power and have a 1/4 backswing, your ball is only being hit about 25% of the distance of your club. It's incredibly accurate and adds the final dimension to the Wii game that was missing for the past three years.
The most improved part of the game--Putting. Remember last year when you had to take a full swing on a 2 foot putt to hit the ball into the hole? Well, imagine my surprise when I did the same thing on the first hole and rocketed the ball about 25 feet off the green. It sucked for my score, but I smiled because it's the first time I saw how perfect this putting system is. It's JUST like real life--short putt? Hit it soft. Longer putt? Make a bigger backswing and make sure to follow through. Precision putting is the best thing in this game.
Disc golf is also loads of fun, although I have to admit I'm not very good at it. I can't stop it from curving--just like in real life. I look forward to putting the practice time in to better my game.
So far, based on my initial impressions, I'd highly recommend it to anybody looking for a golf game. It's fantastic.

Ah okay so I don't have to pay to play online? Because that would be some serious magazine rack shit.
