I have a neighbor who works EA. Considering that the 07 version for the Wii was released late, so there was a much smaller dev cycle, and then compound that with the fact that the game made a transitional move from his office to the Florida office... I can see why this game was a minor upgrade.
I don't think they are expecting everyone who bought 07 to buy 08. EA did listen to some of the review complaints, and that's why they've changed the way the you control the club (hopefully for the better). I bought the 07 version, but I'm not buying the 08 version. On the other hand, if I had not bought the 07 version, I would undoubtedly be buying the 08 version.
I will probably rent the 08 version to see how the swing mechanics are. And to see what suggestions of mine they implemented. But before I buy another TWG, they'll need a course designer and online mode to share the courses and golf against others, full tournaments and rankings...oh wouldn't it be sweet to design an 18 hole golf course and then host your own tournaments with it? As more people vote for your course, you end up having more significant tournaments such as a masters at your course... that'd be cool. I think I'm going to suggest that to my neighbor.
