Awesome! I'm glad they finally added the Masters. I am also glad to see that the Career mode is getting some love but I hope that the only goal of Career mode is to win the Masters. I hope instead that it is finally a true, work your way up the rankings Career that last more than five seasons, and not something that ends once you win the Masters. If they have finally done something like that, I may finally be full blown back into Tiger Woods after taking a year off.

Is that even Tiger on the box? LOL They couldn't make the game title any smaller could they? Maybe just call it Master PGA Tour 12 or something.

Broadcast TV presentation sounds promising.

If you're going to have "Tiger Woods" at the bottom in tiny font and Tiger himself being barely visible in a background shot from behind, why not just drop the guy from your game and call it PGA Tour?

LOL....wow, just take tiger out of the game. You can hardly see him, if that's in fact him.

Nice, a lot like MJ in 2k11. Tiger deliberately not on the box. Looks like OS's prediction that this will be a great game might be true!

All I can say is about freaking time. Anything is an improvement over the career mode now, so this may just be a definite buy for me.
