And there are many more of us hee that were damn good at the game that I am not mentioning.
This is the third time I will ask you Tayty as you have not answered the question yet. Have you played Tiger on the 360 and if so what problems did you have?
It is obvious to me that the PS3 people have a much higher degree of dissatisfaction than those of us who play on the 360. All I can say is that I am enjoying the game as much now as I ever did. Part of the reason for this is that EA made the game harder and that is how I like it. I know there are people her who don't like the game as much anymore because you can't hole out all the time and shoot in the 30's on some courses. I'm not saying there is anything wrong with that, to each his own on the type of golf game you like to play. I guess I'm fortunate that I like the type of game that tiger has become. Yes I am frustrated that I couldn't connect last night but those occasions are the exceptions.
Well, not to squash your theory on holing out and shooting in the 30's, but playing HSG I hole out about once a week if I'm playing all the time, and that's if I'm lucky....from day 1 in Tigger I was holing out a heck of a lot more often then that. The simple fact for me is that I can connect and play glitch free on HSG, something I haven't been able to do on Tigger EVER....every year there is some sort of glitch in the game, whether it be boost or spin, or a made putt that results in an OB or a water hazard. It's pretty simple really, like E$ stated, EA has the monopoly on the titles so they don't give a crap about us. When EA pulls their head out of their ass I'll be the first in line to get my copy of Tigger no matter how hard the game is.
I wasn't necessarily referring to you TD.
I'm not saying you were, but that seems to be the general consensus as to why a lot of players don't play, and I'm telling you it's not....there may be a few that feel that way, but the bigger issue is all the glitches....why should anyone pay $60 for a game that they have to find work arounds for when there are other companies releasing games that are perfectly put together from the start?
I've said the same thing for the last few years, I could care less about all the bells and whistles that EA has added to the game, or the even the gameplay in general....if it doesn't work online glitch free I'm not spending my money on it when there are other options available to me.
Mark is probably talking about me and Andrea.  The 3 of us were talking about Tig the other night playing poker, then, CCC joined the table and we changed subjects. I said the level of difficulty had nothing to do with why I don't play, but, it was funner IMO to hole out all the time. To me, the best players would still be the best, the scores would just be a little higher. People still hole out and I holed out quite a few in the month I played. It's just not 6 or 7 times per 18 now.
Honestly, I just got bored with Tiger and that started long before I even had a PS3. People say it's cause the game is harder or more sim-like, that's hilarious (scores are still in the low to mid 40's on the PS3). Who won the majority of NSNB leagues and Tour mode tournaments here? Ya...it was the same bunch who won the "grip-n-rip" leagues/tournaments.
However, Hot Shots is basically NSNB/Tour mode and I had much more fun when it first came out. I'm not that into it anymore, but, I certainly liked it more than the "next gen" versions of Tiger. Hole outs are rare as hell but you get pumped when you stick it close and have a tap in birdie or get that semi-rare eagle on the Par 5. Clap Hanz just did a better job of making that style of play attractive (again, just my opinion). Not to mention you can play 9 holes with up to 8 people (simultaneously) lag and glitch free in 15 minutes. 
But, these are just MY opinions. If you like Tiger then that's great, and, I hope they put out a great product and you continue to enjoy the series. Those days were still some of my favorite with 16+ TGV'ers in a tournament, but, times change for some and some people move on to different games and different challenges.
To each, their own.
