I am still playing TW07 so why would I go out and pay more money for TW08?
I have no problems at all with the controls in TW07, the more you play it the more you adapt. Just 2 days ago I won a tournament after 4 rounds with -14 for the tournament 3 shots ahead of second place. If they have tightened the controls a little it would make the game more accessible for beginners but persist with TW07 and it is a good game. Anyone who owns TW07 should have no need to buy TW08. It is not like I would buy Madden every year just because they tweaked the graphics or added a few mini-games.
I think EA have the right to upgrade the package and fix any existing bugs/features and then offer the game for sale to those who do not already have it. It is not like they are forcing you to buy it or anything. Yes it would be better if they offered it as an upgrade for existing owners - trade in your TW07, pay $5 and get TW08 - but only a nutcase or super TW junkie will buy the game again. If you own TW07 be happy, if you don't (and like golf and Tiger) then buy TW08.
JRI.
