Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 Comments by Dan Whitehead

I'm waiting for the Wii version myself, hopefully that will be the definitive version this year with motionplus

You mean we have to play pressing buttons on a gamepad? Instead of swinging an imaginary stick?? Cool, I like retro!

I didnt know this was out already. Is there a demo on marketplace?

Also what about the Prototype review?

Anyone know what the score is re. continuing LIVE support for Tiger Woods 09 when this new version comes out?

Wait for the superior Wii version.

This kinda text/score gives 7s a bad name. Weak review.

I buy Tiger every year since '04, but I think this year I'll take a break. I really enjoyed 09 but haven't played it enough to warrant getting another one so soon. I'll wait a year, hopefully my love for it will have rekindled by then

Well I've decided I'm not bothering with Tiger Woods this year because the games are pretty much the same every year and the graphics still haven't improved at all (they're still underwhelming IMO). I hardly touched TW09.

The games play alright but if you have one game from the last two years then there's no real point in playing any of the new ones because EA are content to keep churning out the same game each year. A good if samey game but an unspectacular one if you ask me unless you're absolutely nuts about golf.

@matrim83,

Yes, there's a demo on the marketplace. But no, the game isn't actually out yet. A couple of weeks, I think.

Personally i'll be buying it as the commentary is a good deal better than in 09. It's a good deal less irritating as well, and i'm hoping the analogue putting may make the game slightly more accessible. If not, i'll just use the 3 click swing and time it.

1.5 GB for the Xbox demo was a laugh to begin with. I'm still playing 08, and it basically looks the same. EA, please stop the annual updates and release a great Tiger Woods game every three years, okay?

I think EA needs some competition, being the only half decent golf game out there is slowing advances imo.

Annoyingly a lot of the comments seem fair, though the review has missed the best part of the game which is multiplayer(not necessarily online). I wish that they did not push out a new version every year, but I am very keen to see new courses.
They have been massively focused on the Wii version this year, I imagine that the major upgrade in this is that it is a much stabler game, the previous version has many technical errors which commonly crash and stall ps3 and 360, if you look at the EA forums, it is that fans number one gripe.
It is the only game that commonly crashes my ps3, for that reason only I will get the new version! (hope it is not my machine)
Definately getting the Wii version.
I get the feeling that FIFA is a much more popular game, but I am not interested.

EA in shock milkage scandal

Meh, from what I've heard from people involved with the project, the best feature which you glossed over is the Play the Pros live tournament feature, and the online options.

I'd have liked to have had a focus on those since they are actually new, rather than a checklist of things which we already know about.

Used to love the TW games on the PS2. Played the demo of this one - hated it. Just too, well,,............ American. I don't want whoops and cheers with every bleedin shot. Go away. Also agree with earlier comment that the graphics were average at best. I will stick to the cartoon but enjoyable world of everybody's golf.

Imagine if EG reviewed Virtua tennis wii, or EA Grand Slam Tennis. 2 sports games that are actually out this week.

If you want to have lots more fun playing golf with mates or online... buy Everybodys golf world tour!

so how is the disc golf minigame?? that's what's most important!

e: or maybe that's only on the wii. i thought this was the wii review. hmmm

Oh dear, another year another dissapointing TW release. Used to be such a fan of these games but it seems EA just cant be arsed with it anymore. I guess its a case of if its still selling reasonably well, which I assume they do or they wouldnt keep releasing them, then why bother to spend more effort and money on development. A shame when you think of what a TW game could be. EA have shown that they are capable of developing top notch games - Dead Space for example. But year after year with the TW franchise they just churn out the same old game. At the very least improve the graphics, how hard is it to make static buildings look half decent? Why is the dlc always just a couple of boring (expensive!) real world courses? What happened to the fantasy courses of the older TW games that were arguably more interesting to play and a few of which would surely make for a half decent dlc pack! I dont expect to see any of this from EA any time soon however unfortunatly...

Hmm, well I guess this means it's almost time for me to buy Tiger Wood 09 at an extremely cheap price!

The last TW I bought was '08 on the 360 which I thought was average at best. I eventually sold it and bought Everybody's Golf: World Tour on the PS3. Ok, it's cartoony and has no real-world golfers but it plays a better game of golf than TW has for years.

Oh Tiger. You'll never be as good as Everybody's Golf. Give it up dude :D

i missed 09 so am getting 10... and agree with the reviewer about getting away from the annual updates purely for their own sake.
Looking at the courses, there still seems to be 16 of em. But they take some away and add new ones which is annoying. Maybe its a disc space issue or they want to release the others as DLC. Its a waste to have other courses from previous games not included.
The annual levelling-up thing needs addressing too. They make u do this every edition!

And the question that keeps getting asked and ignored on the EA forums:

Can you do tour mode with more than one person, like you could on the PS2-generation games?

Was'nt there also an Actua Golf? Or I'm I thinking of something else?

Indeed, actua golfs 1, 2 and 3. I had them all at that time. Great games, click swing so I could get the timing down as well. Really good commentary as well. You can buy it for pc for a couple of quid from amazon.

I'm afraid there is simply NO alternative for the 360 guys. A couple of half baked live games don't count for me. I have the two of them, and they aren't worth it. I'm crying out for links to come back, and wasn't there meant to be a vijay singh golf game announced one year ? I bought tiger 09 after 03 on the xbox was my last one, and couldn't believe how little had changed. i could still shoot 48 ! I played it on tour pro level, which was a bit better, but it still is just not golf to me. Why aren't there leaderboards for each course and over all the difficulty levels ? Instead we just get some weird gamernet shit that i can't even understand. Get proper leaderboards ! Trying to beat a 'proper' course record on the hard tour pro level would certainly give it a bit of a boost in the kudos dept in my book

I'm thinking of pickking up the Wii version myself... Seems like a lot of other people are too...
Eurogamer ignoring other consoles and concentrating on the XBox360?! Whaf a surprise!
Actually, I'm not that sure Eurogamer own any consoles other than the Xbox360? :P
