The plan for the next update is to expand it to 19 tournaments. A second tournament will be added for TPC Scottsdale and a new tournament will be added for East Lake. Both of these events will be fictional events (I think we are calling them the Arizona Classic and the Peach Invitational). On top of that, the Season Finale which is played at TPC Sawgrass will be changed to the TOUR Championship presented by Coca Cola and be played at East Lake.

You're the man, thanks for the response.

Thank you for the information. Will a calendar be added at some point?

So will there be more courses coming, or are you just planning on using existing courses and playing them multiple times using different tournament names?

Yes, will a calendar and money list be added in the future?

There seems to be some mystery as to what's causing mis-hits in Tour Advanced difficulty with the patch. Some are saying they're getting them when swinging easy and some are saying they're getting them when their tempo is perfect. I can't get anyone in the official forum at EA Sports to answer my questions about everything they're seeing in the feedback meters when these mis-hits occur, so I thought I'd post it here.

Can you perform a partial backswing without getting a random (and is it really purely random?) miss hit? This would show up as % underswing in the feedback meter. If this is the case, I was worried that this change was going to hamstring people into using the "dial-a-distance" swing. We just don't have enough data on this yet to form any sort of conclusion.

Those of you who have the game and are playing on Tour/Advanced/Hard, would you be willing to try this test? Set up for a full drive, but only take the club back to what feels like 75%, or even less. Then execute the downswing with your normal pace in which you get perfect tempo/speed. If your shot goes way offline even if your swing path is true, it will help establish the fact that the current swing model is putting a premium on meeting the targeted backswing length. You'd have to repeat this 5 or more times to see how repeatable it is... but I suspect this might be what's happening.

The only things announced so far are Scottsdale which came out for everyone today and East Lake next month. But stay tuned for info as I am really excited about what else we can do for this game.

Yes, the changes made to the Advanced Swing Mechanic put a premium on you executing the exact shot you are aimed for. So if you were someone that got by on doing like a -5/+5 kind of swing, you are going to become less accurate. There is no miss-hit if you nail the backswing length and follow through speed exactly right. But as you get away from those perfect points, more miss-hit is added. It isn't a random amount, it is quantified by how far off from perfect you are in each area. The only random to it is if that miss-hit is added to the left or the right.
