Tiger Woods 14 - Demo to include shot arcs

[OnlookerDelay]

I just learned that the Tiger '14 demo will have simultaneous shot arcs enabled! If I read the tea leaves correctly, that means you could conceivably arrange to hook up with a buddy or group of buddies, tee off at the same time and follow each other's shots through the number of holes available. I don't know that you'll be able to voice chat through the game's chat facility in the demo, but you could always use the XBox Live party for that. Also, they confirmed that all five difficulty levels will be available to the gamer in the demo.

I had an idea that EA Sports wasn't doing a lot of advertising and video promotion because they were banking on the demo doing more to state their case this year. This live functionality in the demo adds some weight to my suspicions, IMO.

Wow, this is great news. I'm looking forward to seeing it in action and trying my hand at the simulation difficulty. It seems like the release for this game is so far away lol.

Wow, so 10 days from now. Man, thank god GTA V got pushed back because Tiger will get a lot of my attention this year.

It gets better, the Executive Producer for Tiger Woods 14 confirmed today that "Connected Tournaments" will be part of the demo. Furthermore, there will be Connected Tournaments of various difficulty levels also. I guess they could do this with 3 or 4 holes, but wouldn't it be cool if they sprung 9 holes on us for the demo? Not sure how these demo connected tournaments will be cycled, but it will be fun to have a go at Simulation difficulty in a connected tournament!

Onlooker,

has EA said if you can roll over your character from the previous year yet?

It hasn't been directly addressed. I know you'll be able to carry at least 75,000 XP from your Tiger 13 player, but I'm pretty sure you're going to have to build a new CAG from scratch on which to apply that XP. The player models and Gameface change enough each year that this becomes a necessity.
