Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 14 Available Now For Season Ticket Subs, Post Your Impressions

This years game is great and I'm really happy I picked it up. It feels like there is so much to do. I like the sim difficulty swing although I will not use it too regularly but I find the default sim settings to be ridiculous. To have no frame of reference at all when setting up your shot is terrible and not at all realistic. Most courses irl now offer caddy books and the in game perspective is not at all comparable to what you experience setting up your shot in real life either.

My only real complaint is that the country club experience feels like it took a step back this year. I don't understand the design choice to say two or more people are competing for say club pro but it turns out that the second guy competing for club champ ends up the club pro. It also continues to be dumb that sheer volume of play is the determinant for the weekly ranking. My club doesn't give the championship to the retiree who gets out for 27 holes every day but never breaks 50 for any 9. The club champ is the best player. They should really introduce the concept of flights for the online country club. This all carries over from 13, but I don't see any improvements either. Expanding members to 100 is nice except that the concept that a full club is more valid has followed along so now it's just harder to get to a full club.

Oh well minor issues. Overall the game is great and I like the story mode this year a lot even more than the tiger challenges which I liked well enough anyway.

I just made the PGA Tour after finishing 3rd in the final web.com championship tournament. I was really excited to skip events up to the Masters to get where the season is right now. Well it took me skipping the first 4 events of the year to realize that I had to be in the top 50 to play in the Masters. That was really depressing.

I've been playing on tournament difficulty and it works quite well for me. I still struggle to break par much of the time.

I'm thinking about restarting my career when the patch arrives. I believe there is a separate file for saved game and getting rid of that should do the trick and my golfer should be safe. Maybe I move that file to USB stick and see how it goes... Anyone tried that?

I am really enjoying the game this year but the freezes are annoying.

I have lost my created player after getting up to a good level. Then I had to start over again but it did not ask me to carry over the XP again. Can you only do this once? If so that kinda sucks as a bug causes me to lose all my progress and then I have to start the grind of building my player up again.

Am I missing something? Is there no way to customize your clubs. I just noticed that my driver is at something crazy like 11.5 degrees. I would like to change that.

You can tune a piano but you can't tuna fish...or a club this year.

Sorry, no club tuning this year Rob.

EDIT/CORRECTION: According to Seymour's post below, you can select different loft settings, but the tuner from previous years is gone. Thanks Seymour!

Go into clubs setting under your CAG and there are many settings you can choose for club loft.
