ORIGINAL: DanDaBreadMan I was going to post something yesterday, but NBC's video player f-ed my computer and I was forced to reinstall windows. I lost a lot of stuff I was too stupid (or lazy) to back up.  No spell check yet either. I've been playing it for a few days and think it is really good. There hasn't been anyone online to try out the new all play yet. Club tuning is fun, I spent a lot of time with that. Main difference is swing sensitivity. Unless you tune your clubs for max distance, you will hit the ball straight. The new gamernet is cool. If you are on a hole with a challenge to bust, it will pop up automatically. Also, if you hit a cool shot, press right trigger and you can post it right there. Dynamic attributes changes the game as well. From what I can tell, you will not stay maxed out unless you play a flawless game every time. They go up and down with your game. You hit bad shots and you lose attributes. There are only four categories, Power (distance off the tee and FIR) Accuracy (GIR and pin distance outside 100 yards) short game (pin distance inside 100 yards) Putting (putts per green). Missing a fairway cost you points off your power, missing a green from outside 100 yards cost you accuracy etc. Doing well in those skills increases your attributes in those areas. You can also buy items (with MS points) that increase your attributes if you haven't unlocked them. I am not sure if a maxed out player will be available due to the dynamic attribute system. It would be unfair. I have heard that if you buy the items to increase your attributes, you have to wear a bunny suit online. Max attributes are 10 (these points fluctuate with your game). You cane use items in the pro shop to increase from 10 (or whatever you current attribute is). These items give you a boost from .5 to two points. It seems like they aren't stackable. When I tried to use a boost of .5 and 1.5 for power, all it gave me was 1.5 of boost. The only thing I don't like is Game face. I came out looking five shades too dark and nothing like myself. Everything else is covered in the demo. i still want to know if you can swing with the right stick.
