Anouncers in TW10

[tst313]

Has anyone else seem to notice that the comments are purely random that they make? I mean, I put the ball 8 inches from the cup, 127 yards out, and Scott Van Pelt is replying "oh he can't be happy with that..." Then the computer controlled character nails the tee shot into the brush for a 89 yard drive from the tee and the response is, "looks like a pretty good lye..." Or when you drive for 299 yards, straight down the fairway and the response is, "could have been better."

And yet reviews are saying Scott Van Pelt and Kelly Tilghman are great additions to the game. Personally if you are just going to have the game say random comments, then don't have it at all. 2009, you would think that it would be a little more advanced than this....

The announcers absolutely suck this year.

And I don't. I shut them off after playing 2-3 holes. Now all I hear during tourneys is the happy sound of applause along with chirping birds and quacking ducks.

I think I lasted two rounds before I ended up shutting them off.

Agreed. But they really suck every year. The script is bare bones for TW games. No competition means lame, generic one liners. I would like to hear details about the course history, about the players doing well in the current tournament, etc. But the status quo is just awful.

The announcers are awful again; part of a "presentation" that needs help - the camera angles are nice, the added leaderboards are cool, but it's incomplete.

The commentary is worthless. I'm playing in the final round this morning in "play the pro's" and I'm +3 for the day; now, I'm -2 for the tourney as I was -5 heading into round 4; commentary is only about my +3. It needs to be much more interactive for the tourney, not just the specific round you're currently playing. They also need more reporters on the course; they need to flash what you've done for the tourney on that specific hole; i.e. Round 1 Par, Round 2 Par, Round 3 birdie - so when I step to the tee in that final round the commentary is, "He's made par twice and birdie once thus far; let's see how he fares today." Something more than the absolute bare bones this has now.

The big thing I hate are the stupid criticisms: "Oh, it looks like he needs a shiny new putter!"

"(expletive deleted) you Kelly. I'm gonna stick that shiny new putter up your (expletive deleted)."

I wish commentary was straight ... none of the goofiness, unless it's David Feherty. He gets some witty criticism.

This is a must! You would think that commentary would be a fairly easy thing to nail down in golf, especially compared to team sports.

When you're playing a tournament, it would be nice for the commentators to comment on how you've done on that hole on other days, and maybe how the field is doing on that hole today. Instead we get the same generic crap that's been in golf games since...well, since there was commentary in golf games.

The whole tournament game needs to be much more interactive (with realistic scores )
