For those of you that really golf, ready play is for speeding up play when you are being pushed from a group behind you. Once you get to your ball, you hit it instead of waiting for the farthest from the hole to hit, as you would with normal play.
Big problem doing that online. The lag it causes some people is terrible, and I end up playing the entire round with people bitching about lag. Think of it, four golfers hitting at once on the (already poor) EA servers. It's just too much for them to handle. In our foursome last night just two people had teed off, I was getting ready to and the guy says "finished, birdie". For the servers to track all that causes HUGE problems, so all I can say is if you get it, turn off ready play in your options.
Courses are nice, play is a bit harder, graphics are about the same. Wait for a deal if you want to buy it IMHO.
