Tiger Woods 10 Preview (Wii): What's Hot and What's Not

[Dalsanto0026]

I see what you're saying Bumble, if it were too realistic I would regularly be firing 85 - 90 (lol, I need to play more often) so in order to compete with the pros I guess we would need a little boost and difficulty settings should help with that. I just don't want to be firing a 64 at St Andrews in wet conditions that's all.

PS I had just polished off 7 Jim Beams with a friend when I sent the original post and I was in a whinging mood, so again I apologise for those comments.

Cheers mate.

I can state emphatically that there are scores of Wii users asking for just that. This is why they have 3-4 difficulty levels for online and offline play. EA has been loudly criticized (justifiably so by the hardcore/simulation users) for not offering more realism for those seeking a more realistic gameplay experience. In my short time with TW10 Wii, they have delivered on this with the WiiMote Plus and a 1:1 swing. I am one of those who relishes gameplay that forces me to concentrate and focus on my swing to achieve the desired results. I don't see the harm in offering gameplay that appeases the largest target audience possible and gameplay that is tunable to the users desired difficulty.

If I want a golf game that realistic I'll head out to the course for real and at least get some sun ;-)

To each their own! Regardless of your feelings on that issue there is some common ground- this years Tiger on Wii could be outstanding.

Divot, I don't imagine you've ever heard this bromide before! It's code for "End of Discussion" in my experience...

Bumble14, I'm one of those of whom Divot speaks. I want a more faithful simulation. I have no problem with the game defaulting to a difficulty level that allows people who don't know how to swing a golf club to go out and shoot par. What I don't understand is the alarm registered by those who fit that demographic, when they learn that the game can be made to play a more difficult simulation style game. Sim-heads have to go into the menus to configure the game to play that way.

The bottom line is this - I want a golf game that makes me feel like I've accomplished something to break par.
