Fantastic. My brother and I would play PGA II on the Genesis, wishing we could play Augusta. This is a dream come true.

Any word on whether or not I can get a virtual Chicken Sandwich or Egg Salad Sandwich at Augusta?

Are you able to change control schemes in the middle of a round? Like if I start out with the Move but don't feel like doing it anymore after so many holes, can I switch to the analog controls? Or vice versa, if I am playing with the analogs and want to try a shot or start playing altogether with the Move, can I switch to it in the middle of a round?

I would assume this can be answered by either Wii or ps3 owners that have the Move.

i have no authority on this, but i highly doubt that you could switch control schemes within a round...

i am basing this on how rounds worked in the past. i guess you never know, but i feel like competitions (like online tourneys) are grouped based on control scheme and difficulty level - so i don't think you could change that mid-round...

Then maybe in the first week of March I think we will see a Demo. As far as Career mode here are my thoughts. I would think that it would have to be longer than five years. If we are really starting off as a true amateur and working our way up, I would think for the average player's(not you UBER Golfers and you know who you are ) it would take a year or two to even make the full pro tour. If I am reading the info right there are two levels before Q school so I would think that would take a bit of time, plus whatever "Tiger Challenges" are in the pipeline for player development. While I would love a long offline career mode. I am so very excited to play Augusta that it is not a big issue. To finally play this course that I have no chance of ever playing in real life is just something I never thought would happen in a video game. I mean really we have all said this would never happen and it is only 2 1/2 months away. How can you not be excited about this. Add in that we can finally add DLC into offline Career mode. It does not get much better for me. I know some people have there issues and those people always will find something to complain about or nitpick. But for me this is the game I have been waiting for. I don't care if they just repackage 11, which I know they are not with the new features, I am going to be a very happy video game golfer at the end of March.

well said, bullit...

Classic!! I actually was lucky enough to go to several masters when I lived in Georgia; 97 - 2002. I am craving a Master's egg salad right now. yum. Especially after all the walking you have to do there, and you would never realize unless you go to Master's just how much elevation their really is. One thing I noticed they could of improved on to get that Master's tourney feel, the crowds are not even close; their should be a Mass of people around holes, humanity everywhere. We always went first thing, and went and picked out a spot on 18th behind rightside green bunker and put our master's chairs in position, then walked course all day until later when final groups came through at 18. This is something you can do at Master's unlike anywhere else, you can pick a spot and basically reserve; and enjoy the whole course all day.

Gallery sizes are a design decision tradeoff balancing the rendering of the course as accurately as possible with how many fans they can put in the galleries and maintain adequate framerates. If the 360/PS3 had more than 512 MB of video memory, they could do alot more with the galleries and the graphics in general.

Thanks for the reply, but I apologize for not being clear in my post. I meant this for the single player mode. Do you think its the same thing though?
