2 Stars Great for the videogame career-ist
Much prefer the WiiSports Resort golf and frisbee.
TW is too much work.
If you want to play golf with a few buds once in awhile go with WSR. If you want a second career or full-time hobby go with TW.
4 Stars Good job EA
Very good golf game, very realist good game play, except graphic little under PS3&Co. 4/5 but the gameplay is better than the others, good job Nintendo and EASPORTS.
3 Stars Too many flaws
After buying, and eventually breaking and throwing away 09 I swore, yet again, never again EA… you hear me, never.
Well, here we are again. 2010 fixes a lot of problem that plagued 09. The putting is much better, but still as inconsistent as you would expect from EA. Using the precision putting is probably as close as anyone has come yet, however, it isn’t uncommon for the back swing to be at 50%, the forward swing to be at 50%, but oh no… you only hit it 35%. Yes I’m doing it right. I usually 1 putt from anywhere on the green. This tends to happen when you need to make the put for par or something. Generally, when you need it, EA is against you all the way.
You can add fade or draw by “grabbing’ the target zone by holding down the B button and moving the zone left or right. The HUGE problem here is that if you take a practice swing… the target zone resets itself, so you need to go back and put back where you want it. Really? Was this too hard for EA?
You can also change your stance by holding the B button and pushing left or right on the “D” pad. However, if you take a practice swing, this also resets. Not only that, but if you move to a forward stance by pushing left on the D pad, your going to hit the ball higher and with less distance. This change in distance isn’t reflected in the target zone. That is, the zone doesn’t move as your stance changes. So if you have a club that would hit the ball, say, 200 yards, and you max out your forward stance, your now only going to hit it say, 175 yards. The problem here is that your target zone still says 200 yards. Good luck guessing where that’s going. Again… was this too hard for EA?
Moving around the menus and Pro Shop is much harder than it really needs to be. Instead of making use of the perfectly good D pad, you’re forced to aim at little arrows and hit the A button. Trust me, it’s worse than it sounds, and it won’t take long before you’re cursing EA for acting like… well… EA.
One little part of stupidity that just confuses me is in the Pro Shop. A level 2 driver for example will have 1 power bonus. A level 4 driver will have… that’s right… 1 power bonus. Apparently the only difference is the price. I mean really EA, why even bother? Don’t you ever feel embarrassed about this kind of half-assed crap plaguing virtually everything you do?
Also with the Pro Shop, there’s no way sort the items to see what’s new as things become available. Does EA think I have nothing better to do when I’m playing this game than go through every single item category every single time there might be something new? And where is the sort by abilities option (sort by power, putting, etc.)? That’s right… it’s not there.
If you think I’m just nit-picking about this, here’s a great example. I got offered a sponsorship from G3. They’ll pay me $250 per item. Great I thought, and off I went to the Pro Shop. (By the way EA, the sponsor list should be in the Pro Shop). Click shirts, push 1 to sort, go to “Brand” and push the right arrow 28X looking for G3, (You didn’t think they were alphabetical did you? Where’s the fun in that?), push + button, “No Items Found”, push - button, push - button, click pants, push 1 to sort, go to “Brand” and push the left arrow 5X, (that’s better), push + button, “No Items Found”, push - button, push - button, click shoes,… you get the idea. There are 13 categories, so follow the listed step for all of them. There’s nothing here? Did I miss something? I go online and I’m able to find that G3 only has a couple of shirts in the whole game, and they’re only for men. Awesome… I have a female golfer. I sure am glad I can’t sort by new items, just think of all the fun I would have missed.
When I think how good Tiger Woods 05 was for the X-Box, it boggles the mind how EA consistently destroys once great games. Don’t get me wrong here. This is a good game once you’re playing. But EA has done everything they could to make setting up the game, the Pro Shop and editing your golfer as miserable an experience as possible
I think I can safely say this was EA’s last chance for me. And while I haven’t thrown this one away yet, there have been close calls.
Tiger Woods 09 was really just a beta version for this, and this is just a beta version for 2011. When, and if, EA ever gets one right again, I’ll think about trying it. Until then, I’m glad I still have my X-Box.
3 Stars Too Easy
This game has some sort of programming which makes it adjust to your skill level. When playing tournaments, if you shhot 80 on the first round then all the pros will shoot mid 70’s or even 80 on the second round, even though they shot low to mid 60’s on first round. haven’t hooked up to internet, yet. May be better playing against pros in live weather conditions and on line. Just so-so of a golf game.
4 Stars Loads of Fun!
I am having a blast with the new Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 for the Wii. The new controller option makes it almost as challenging as hitting the links for real. Well worth the investment!
