Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 12: The Masters Demo Available Now, Post Impressions Here

[Rules]

Like I said before, the Move should negate what the caddie is saying as the challenge alone is nailing the swing in the first place. Don't get me wrong as I would like the higher difficulty of doing everything on my own. However, one has to believe that EA got the message and will plan accordingly for next year. If you do not have the Move then it is probably best to either go back to TW11 or skip this years game cause if you are already unhappy before getting the game.........then well you get my point.

I have to ask, how many of you are going to continually beat this whole caddie issue into the ground? What's done is done so if you are getting the game then come up with a workaround like many of us do when presented with these type of dilemmas’. Before anyone chimes in that we shouldn't have to........let me say this......obviously you must not have played any EA games


If you are not getting the game then go over to EA's forum to let them know as I have never seen any of their devs here so your cries will go unheard. Not trying to be mean but for the love of golf.....GET OVER IT.

At this point, it is clear that TW 11 is just a better game for those of us that grew to really appreciate TrueAim. The question is, for how long will EA support TW 11 with online tourneys and Play With the Pros?

Knowing EA they will probably shut it down soon to force everyone to buy their next one. From past experience they seem to shut down the previous servers a few months later. That or the constant up and down due to so called maintenance is another ploy to frustrate everyone to not bother.

No, not likely. TW10 online play is still running, so TW11 will be up through TW13....

Wow, didn't know that. Was basing it off of their other sports games.

Divot~ can you confirm which golfers are in the game? That is the only accurate piece of information that I have not been able to find.

I seen a list about a month ago but yet when I went and watched one of EA's videos there were others not listed. Just wondering if Tom Watson and a few others are in or not?

You don't need to judge elevation when you zoom in for your shot? I have not seen that in the demo, but it's hard to tell as there is not a huge amount of elevation on the demo holes. I would be surprised if that is an accurate statement.

And, that last statement is a heck of a thing to post to someone, who has only played the demo and is seeking more info. "Sorry you don't like TW12. See ya next year."

Well I went back and played the TW 11 demo (since I didn't buy TW 11). And to me true aim on TW 11 is a bit easier. Noted I did play w/ the putt meter on in the demo, but it still seemed easier than TW 12 demo true aim. Having the elevations given to you instead of having to judge it yourself does seem easier IMO. Like I've said in previous posts, having the caddy there is an annoyance, but it's still within you as a player to hit the shots. I guess my own 'house rule' so to speak has been that I haven't been using shot practice, except for on putts. Every other shot I just leave it to myself to judge the percentage on the first swing. And you can still pretty much aim wherever you want in TW 11, the only difference is the zoom.

I'm going to do the same today. I didn't get TW11 so maybe I am missing something here. Either way, EA is not going to patch it so we WILL have to deal with it.
