Good review.....hit pretty much everything on the head.

# 2 ty5oke @ 06/10/09 05:54 PM

Nice review. I'll give it a rent to check out the putting system but I'm a little disapointed that not much ahs changed in career mode. That's usually all I play and its getting a little stale.

# 3 redgoose2112 @ 06/10/09 06:27 PM

I agree with all on this one. I love playing TG 09 and to me it really does not warrant another $60 for an easier putting system. I would buy the game if it had more courses than the usual ones. Somebody answer this question for me. " I know the 360 is way more powerful than the Wii...why can't EA put in more courses"....Oh...I get it... So MS can charge you another 8 bucks for each additional course. I answered my own question. Thanks anyway guys !!!

I think this game warrants two reviews: One for the 360/PS3 as you have here and one for the Wii. It really is a unique experience on the Wii with the Motion Plus controls.

Only played a few days and give it a big thumbs up; golf games usually bore me but this thing seems pretty packed with things to do

EA FTW

Extremely harsh point of view, IMO. I too played Links 2004 and pretty much disagree with all of your criticisms other than the tempo-based swing not being in TW10. Seems the vast majority of the feedback from users here disagree with your assessment as well. A number of Links 2004 hardcore fans that I know of also disagree with you....oh well.

Wii review will be up by Friday.

# 8 boritter @ 06/11/09 03:09 AM

My summary: New putting system is a lot better. Still not enough courses.
Unless your an avid golf fan, wait until the price drops.

Does Tiger Woods 10 have Co-op???

# 10 khanvict @ 06/21/09 09:38 AM

Why does it say Co-op on the back of the game case if it doesnt have co-op????? I ONLY BOUGHT THIS GAME FOR CO-OP!!!

CO OP is online only and each user must have their own XBox 360 to play from....

Is there a noticeable difference between the PS3 and 360 version? I rented this on the PS3 and was disappointed. The gameplay is what I expected (mixed bag, IMO) from a TW game, but the presentation seemed wonky.

They seemed to have gone for a more "broadcast" view of your ball flight where you can't see where the ball is relative to the course. It's a minor issue, I suppose, but add in the fact that there's a noticeable delay in the switch between views and it kills the immersion.

The announcing is okay-better than previous versions, I suppose.

I honestly don't get the big deal about the putting. It feels like the same exact mechanic...just condensed to a specific meter view. The only improvement to me would be the fact that there seems to be more emphasis on being smooth with your R Stick motion, but other than that it just seems like the same mechanic in a different wrapping.

Also, I'm disappointed that the gameface feature has seemed to dumb down since 07. Photo gameface is nice, but the options surrounding the golfer seem more generic. Also, the fluctuating course count is getting old. Just keep ADDING courses. On top of that, there should be no circumstance where it's acceptable to charge for courses that were EVEr in any version of the game.

I never played against AI opponents, so I have no clue of any improvement there, but the 2P game didn't feel like enough. I just feel as though the only important change made in awhile (IMO) was fixing that goofy leaderboard mess from 06-07 (maybe 08 too) where the AI would scale to your play (meaning an opening round 60 meant the whole field would shoot thereabouts the rest of the tourney).

I'm in no way trying to be down on this game (I know it's been nearly all negative...lol). I actually don't hate TW (I still own and play 07, despite it's flaws). I just feel that it's indicative of a common problem with many current sports titles. WAY too much simplifying and give and take. Keep adding. Keep innovating.

I waqnt to feel enticed to buy a new TW game, and it's not happening. If the 360 version is smoother than the PS3, I'll give that a rental too and give it a go. Sorry if this post ended up as a rant...lol...not my intention.

lol...thanks for the tip.

I'll be okay though. Managed to function without your wisdom and guidance for oh, so very long.

lol...yeah, I thought about condensing it to a simple "EA sucks, release the hounds!" comment, but I thought that would be a tad immature and contrary to the point of a review thread.

I'm curious as to your take on it baa. I'm assuming you played it on the 360, correct? What makes you feel it's worth it? What do you disagree with me on?

As I said, I was thinking about renting it for the 360 (if they ever get their copy back) to see if there was a difference. It just felt too disjointed at times when I played it and not improved enough. Maybe it's an issue of "better with time"...needing to experience the AI and extended play to appreciate it. I dunno.

It can be as long or short as you want...I'll read it...lol.

# 16 SoxFan01605 @ 06/24/09 06:32 PM

Good comments Baa.

(smiley count: 1)

I think we're on the same page, overall. My putter comments weren't made with any expectations of something more. I just keep seeing it hyped as though it's a breakthrough innovation. It's not really, IMO...just a more streamlined approach to the same end. I suppose it's a moot point on TOUR difficulty though.

If I rent the 360 version, I'll have to switch to the ball cam. As I said before, it's no big deal, but the broadcast view is so disjointed and "hitchy" that it's more of a distraction than it should be.

I agree about the club tuner, but wasn't that in '09? Not down on the feature at all (I'm with you...huge plus) guess I just didn't consider it when looking at TW 10's additions.

(smiley count: 2)

Anyway, I pretty much agree with your points. Maybe I should "dumb down" my expectations...lol.

I don't think they can move the US Open because of licensing issues.

# 18 kerosene31 @ 06/25/09 04:42 PM

Because it isn't the "British" Open.

They have to pay just to say "US Open". I think their license is only for the 2009 US Open which is at Bethpage.

I'm sure it is licensing and not something EA can change.

Unfortunately the lawyers sometimes mess with our sports games more than we'd like.

# 19 kerosene31 @ 06/25/09 05:43 PM

I didn't understand what you meant...

The minute they moved a tournament to a course that hasn't been historically used, people would scream.

Obviously with a handful of courses you're never going to see accurate seasons. I'm not saying you are wrong for asking, but it just realistically is never going to happen.

# 20 Mamba94 @ 08/11/09 04:22 PM

I'm pretty agree with this review. I own tiger 09 and i won't get tiger 10 for the few additions.

I think that EA have focused on the wii version this year because wii version is simply amazing.
