Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 Preview (PSX Extreme)

PSX Extreme has posted their preview of Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09.

Quote:

"As for the actual mechanics of the gameplay, there is one relatively significant addition. It’s a new instant feedback meter that tells you the exact angle of your backswing and follow-through, thereby allowing you to adjust accordingly if you’re off by even the slightest amount. Besides that, avid followers of the popular franchise will quickly recognize the rest of the controls and sink right into their beloved routine. In terms of preparation, though, you’ll get a chance to fiddle around with another new feature: the Club Tuner. This sounds like a fully realized customization process for any given club in your bag, as you will be able to change everything from power and loft to spin capabilities. However, you can’t just make everything about the club better on a whim; ratcheting up the power may shrink the size of the sweet spot, for example. You can also take course details and intricacies into account when using the Course Tuner; if the course boasts a lot of long holes, you may want to sacrifice some accuracy for power. If the greens are iffy and the winds are high, maybe you want added spin to deal with the situation."

The course tuner sounds like what I've wanted all along - forcing a choice between different characteristics or abilities. Well that and the demise of the ball camera.
