It is amazing. As great as Tiger has been for golf as a real sport... he killed off computer and console golf. Let me explain!
We used to have a lot of choices. Links. Links LS. Mean 18. Uh... Christ, other shit by Accolade. I'm just saying, golf games were out there.
Well, the same douchebag that circles the release date of Madden Football for his Xbox, even though it is by far the worst football game in a given year - it's never even fucking close - he's going to give EA Sports his money and pick up their shitty golf game where, yes, you can change the goddamn direction of the ball in mid-flight.
He doesn't care about course creation. This person is too fucking stupid to make golf courses. If he tried, he'd make a pair of bunkers that looked like tits and be out of ideas. There would be no need to make additional holes, because he -- in his mind -- already made the "one."
The purchasing powers of these dimwitted fuckfaces ruin it for everyone else. Let's ask a question! Ben, you are going to buy a golf game. In 2009. It will let you make courses, it will be a remarkable simulation of real golf, and it offers a number of control options, for the mouse, keyboard, joystick and whatever else. It is licensed by the PGA, so it's got Lefty, FUCK YOU VIJAY and even Rocco Mediate there. One issue!
Tiger Woods isn't involved.
Do you still get the game? I bet, after a brief, or even medium-sized "ummmm," you would. But you love golf and your head isn't firmly crammed up your anus. Millions of other thickly-browed gamers wouldn't buy the game. Because Tiger Woods is the exclusive property of EA Sports.
Personally, I wouldn't care, in fact, you would be able to create your own golfer, get a reasonable fascimile, and call him "Tiger." But millions of others, they do care, and they make it financially impossible for there to be competition. It wouldn't surprise me if the ENTIRE PGA is signed over to EA, actually.
So, we're fucked. We're completely fucked. EA bidding on the exclusive NFL license made Bug Selig go, "OHH GEE, WE CAN GET MONEY FOR THIS???" and he sold off the MLB license in baseball. Not to EA, but the people who did get it didn't bother to make a computer baseball game last year, or this year, or next year. It's 2008 and we somehow fucking have less options than we did before. I wouldn't get so angry, except that the exclusive deals were actually spun as being a good thing for gamers, that it would produce better games. Of course it didn't/wouldn't. Whatever.
I am not a graphics whore. There is nothing wrong with Links LS. But it is, what, 12 years old now? Sometimes you just want a more-modern game.
It fucking sucks. Sports games on consoles and computers have been ruined, and probably ruined forever.
