Agreed.....so immersive. It really draws you in, and makes you feel like your playing a live event.

Lol I love the animations when you smack the hell out of the ball. I feel like Barry Bonds.

I've gotta check out these tournaments. It would be kind of cool to have an OS leaderboard for certain events.

I picked up Tiger today. I got 08 but not 09, so the career mode is kinda new and I was a bit confused at first but figured it out. All these observations are comparing '10 back to '08.

-Putting is way better, I like it so much more

-Hitting out of the rough seems a little harder

-It seems easier to hit it straight and not hook or slice it badly

-Gameface worked quickly, unlike 08, but my guy didn't look that much like me, but way better than I could have manually done.

-Practice round is a really cool addition. You can drop the ball wherever you want on each hole and hit a shot from there, and go to the club tuner and edit. Pretty cool stuff. I only wish that there was another version of practice round only featuring the location for the next event but allowing you to do other things such as mark up the layout for each hole, so you could mark where you ant to hit it on the tee shot, what to avoid, etc. Also, if you could map out the greens so that next time you're hitting your approach shot you could see the map you made.

I haven't gone online or anything yet, just did a few rounds with my guy along with a couple tournament challenges.

That was a feature I didn't know about until the game dropped, I knew the realistic start times but I am really liking the tournament mode now.


Also the one thing that is starting to annoy me is the constant rain. The new rain is much better but it seems like they wanted to show it off too much.

Extreme - LOL, I am thinking the exact same thing.

Putting is more difficult, havent yet played as a pro. It's very tough starting out with a low stats golfer.

Very brief impressions so far:

-Putting system and weather are great.

-Ball flight feels improved to me. Not a huge leap, but certainly it feels better than 09 to me (unless I'm imagining things)

-Difficulty seems much more challenging (09 was cake even on tour pro). Not this year... game is much more challenging.

Negatives so far:

-Tournament challenges are tough... too tough. I am simply not going to have time to go through them all. Maybe they won't be so bad when I improve my skills, but I am not happy about this. I'm going to just have to pay for stuff rather than unlock it.

Overall:
More of a step up from 09 than many people were giving it credit for. Certainly this is not the perfect sim we want, but this is a very good golf game. I have zero regrets spending $60 on it. I know I will get countless hours of play out of it, just like 09. That's what matters to me.

Love it IMO putting has gotten easier for me.
