One thing I miss from previous versions is the ability to check your lie, or to be able to move around the green to judge breaks. I would like to play with the grid off but it's almost impossible to gauge the green and it's breaks with only one static view. Something I hope they reinstall in a future version.

Why are you looking at your Golfer's FEET? He does not swing the club with his feet. I hope they give the option to remove the green ball, but I don't see it anyway, so I am good either way....LOL...."too close to my golfer's feet"....

Check your lie with the lowest swing camera......and I agree about the putting cameras, spot on.

Well, I'm not really.... I'm misspeaking a lot today... what I'm really trying to say is that the fill meter is in view below my golfer's feet, even though I'm focused on my golfer's arms (not actually his feet, I do look like a putz for saying feet though )

I'm usually good at concentrating on things and blocking out things I don't want to see, but I fail miserably at totally blocking out the fainting glimpse of that stupid fill meter.

Make a custom game play set up and Turn zoom on and only use it on the green. You can swing around with left stick and look at the green.

Impressions from a tour mode player who was afraid this was going to be too easy...

I must say from tee to green this is hands down the best ea sports title I have ever played. The ball flight looks really good and the ball does just as it should when it hits rough, sand, or fairway/greens. Even on tiger 14 I knew I had a chance to roll out of the rough into the fairway but that is definitely not the case here. Also, if you try hitting a long iron from deep rough you will not get the same result you got in previous ea golf games. Although, I will agree that hitting the fairway is too easy off the box but this game punishes you with your approaches.
First round at chambers bay using Jordan Spieth with every setting as difficult as possible: +12. I could not be happier with the game of golf that this title offers and that is exactly what I was hoping for because this is something that can be built upon.

Now for cons:
Putting is a head scratcher and just doesn't work well, I hope they can find a way to give a little more user feel to it because the game plays way too good for this to be an issue.
Tour mode: bare bones, we knew it would be but I don't think anyone expected this. But again, something that can be added to and tweaked to be made solid. The components are there. Hopefully this mode will be bolstered sooner or later.
Game modes: Again, hopefully something that can be addressed sooner than later. More is needed and Ihopefully they plan to deliver.
Courses: We all knew exactly how many there would be. There should be no surprises and there is definitely no need to gripe about it. The ones they have are beautiful and the ones they release will be too. This and career mode is probably where we will see the quickest growth I would imagine.

Final thoughts: except for the putting you really couldn't ask for this game to play better, more difficult from the tees, yes, but not better I'm am very excited to see what they do with this game and I am thrilled that I decided to stay with my ore order as I now have 9 licensed courses I can play in tour mode.
(Guy at game stop told me to download and install Scottsdale before starting a career or it wouldn't bring it into the career).
Thank you all for your thoughts, sorry for the length just wanted to get mine out there as well!

I miss hitting Y to look forward and at least having a better idea where I'm aiming.. the 'hole map' doesn't really help (me anyway)
