Hmmm...my first thought is that the announcement is going to be that TW11 is going to support Natal, but we'll see...unless they already announced that?

The more I see from EA Sports on the newest upgrades to the motion controller swing styles for the Wii, the more I see them tying it to the "True View" experience. It would seem illogical to me for them to have such a drastic presentation mode difference from one console to another (one locked in True Aim or Presentation camera, while the other has the more dynamic True View camera), for the same fundamental interface mode.

I now think part of this "bigger" E3 announcement will likely introduce that True View will be part of the Move update. The reason it hasn't been mentioned to date is they were still working on it and getting it operational b before announcing it publicly.

Pre ordered it.
Cloth movement? I'm in!

I would love to see such an announcement, but EA's announcement from April, that they would not be supporting Natal with this year's Tiger sounded pretty final to me. I'm about ready to buy a PS3 to play this year's version on, I might feel a bit mislead if I bought a PS3, based on the notion that it would be the only high-def console on which I could use a motion controller and true view.

Can anyone else not see where the pin is on the green on approach shots? It doesn't show up and was wondering if that's part of the game. If so that is the dumbest thing ever. Thanks

Using True Aim, the pin is the marker that is "yellow", whereas the others are white. Not sure why they didn't leave the pin in the hole for this.

Played this thing for a good amount of time today, and I will say I was very impressed with the improvements from last year. First thing that is a sight for sore eyes, are the pre and post shot animations.

In TW10, they were pretty atrocious. But now you actually see the pro golfers make realistic motions after missing or hitting a put. I was playing with Tiger and sunk a 40 footer, and the reaction was great. So they get a standing applause from me for making the game a little more realistic.

True Aim I'm not sold on yet. I don't particularly like the post shot view. You can play without using zoom, and get pretty much the same effect as true aim, but still keep the nice presentation post shot cam, which I like. I always played without zoom anyway in TW10, cuz I'm a sim nut.

AI golfers have been thankfully fixed from last year from what I can tell. Last year, every golfer in the game would make every putt under about 20 feet. In 11, I've seen a bunch of misses that would have never happened in 10--thank God. Also seen some missed fairways, which you rarely saw in 10. I did notice every pro seemed to play the par 5 on Celtic Manor pretty easily, but my sample size isn't sufficient to criticize.

All in all, they fixed two major gripes I had from last year--animations, and AI play, so I'm stoked. They've also added Ryder Cup obviously, which looks pretty awesome. Not too happy with all the recycled courses, but what can you do.

I haven't noticed this because I turn the shot animations off everytime I play. I got so used to playing with them turned off in TW 10, that I just instinctively turn them off every time I play the demo. I found the past animations ridiculous, but I honestly turned them off more in the interest of speeding up the pace of the game, particularly when I was playing with AI's.

I would be a lot happier with the True Aim presentation if I had the option to switch to a cutview, as seen in the Wii version when using True View. I'd actually like to see about the final 20% of travel from a downrange cut-view camera.

I was okay with the presentation camera in TW 10, but I would prefer to see more of the shot from the golfer's perspective, prior to switching to another view.
