After all the issues in the past week I am becoming very hesitant about forking over $80 on day one. I may just wait until I read some real reviews not that rubbish on youtube
I can fully appreciate your weariness regarding further purchasing of the TGC Franchise, at least when it comes to pre-ordering the game, or purchasing the game on the day of release. There are at least two reasons to be hesitant:
1. The lack of patches and/or maintenance of the game to fix the bugs and glitches that plague it (especially this game-breaking backswing issue).
2. When TGC 2019 was released, it was only one month before the game went on sale at a 40% discount. It is possible that this will happen again.
Sadly, even this forum's "bug report" is nothing more than a space to air your grievances and practice your typing skills. Obviously, it is ignored by the HB Devs. I say this because this game-breaking issue has been going on since 2018, and was an issue with TGC 2.
It is my guess that the HB Devs have taken the stance of "better you than me".
