Tiger Woods Shares Cover with Arnold Palmer in Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 14

[kickingguru]

Just to put it out there... there is typically more promotional information on covers, so that is likely not the final version that will be out. It could go either way, but I would think Augusta's success so far in the game would lend to it still being there....

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 14: The Masters Historic Edition

Synopsis
You're getting ready to tee up on the 18th hole. You glance up at the leaderboard and see what used to be a four-stroke lead has been diminished to one.

Hit the links with golf legends and modern-day pros, including Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Tiger Woods, Bubba Watson, Dustin Johnson and Rickie Fowler, and experience some of the world's most celebrated courses like Augusta National Golf Club, the St. Andrews Links and TPC Sawgrass. Feel the pressure of making that perfect shot thanks to huge galleries, digital leaderboards and dynamic crowd reactions that add to the intense experience of real tournament golf, and play through varying types of weather that reflect the real-time conditions of the course.

I hope so because I to would not buy it if Augusta is no longer included. I just bought 13 anyway so, it is still pretty new to me.

Cool. However, they'd have to completely revamp this game in its entirety to get me to buy it. Either that, or allow me to carry over my downloaded courses. I got them all last year, and I know EA will force me to buy them again for TW14. So, if nothing major changes, other than a new course here or there, or a new golfer I can use.. that I'll never use... I probably won't be buying.

Then you'll spend that $60 next year to get Augusta, only to see something else important taken out. Remember, this IS EA we're talking about. I can't stop laughing so hard at the comments of those who say "I'll just wait until next year". That has to be right up there with the "only thing missing is the shoes" (in a sports game where the gameplay sucks).

Great find. While I may have bought the game regardless, having this edition and a Master's challenge makes it a must buy for me then. Its gonna be fun trying to redo Bubba Watson's shot at 10 in the playoff at Augusta from this year.

I just hope the figure out away to get playoffs (back) in, been saying that for a lifetime it seems. There excuse of not having all the pros in the game doesn't fly with me. They had playoffs in the game in the first (maybe first 2) iteration on the 360 and, the way it was implemented back then was just fine IMO. They need to bring it back!

I wish they would get rid of cover athletes entirely. Of course, I wish we got a PGA Tour game instead of a Tiger Woods game. Maybe then it wouldn't basically be a create a superstar game.
