I'm actually impressed, this is a golfers game. The games as difficult and annoying as real golf. I've played a few rounds on different diffulty levels and can say it's challenging as you go up. If you want to just play and enjoy the game, go with a lower level. The higher difficulties are for the hardcore golfers and also makes a challenging environment when playing with friends. I do feel like they did cut some corners on graphics and dont believe the games up to par with what should be the standard. Also, any 2k and EA sports game should just be a mmo since they pretty much put out the same content each year.
