It's an exaggeration but let me put it this way: there are sports games that people love and though they become dated and fade away they still maintain some respect for having been pretty good games. The Tiger Woods series on the next-gen consoles is not one of those sports games. I think calling it a mediocre and forgettable attempt at a golf game is a more fair way of putting it.

Did you play Links 2004? I know it didn't have much of a career mode, but as far as gameplay and the online aspects I felt like that game really got it right. If not for the fact of them shutting down their XSN sports network to no longer host tournaments I think there could still be a large group of people playing it.

I like Tiger, it's a fun game, but it still just baffles me that in so many ways it hasn't matched what Links did so long ago. Which especially for the online tournaments and such it doesn't seem like it'd be that hard to match what Links did, especially over the course of 7 years of development time.

Ok, rant done, just something that frustrates me greatly about the Tiger series. So far I have enjoyed their online browser addition beta, so hopefully they'll make big online play strides in their Tiger games across the board this year.

Obviously, opinions vary....

In some aspects of the game, chiefly, tee shots and full shots, TW 10 is mediocre. I wouldn't say it's forgettable because if you tune your swing sweetspot down to a level that makes you miss a comparable percentage of fairways and greens as the pros, the tempo independent swing is at least serviceable.

I had quit playing Tiger Woods 06 - 09 within three months of release, yet I'm still playing Tiger Woods 10, 8 months later. Why? Meterless precision putting and Live Tournaments. If EA Sports gives the same attention to the full swing component of the game as they did with putting last year, TW PGA Tour 11 could become the golf game most of us realize is possible on next-gen consoles.

They need to completely change the graphics and player physics engine. this still plays and feels like last gen...

No cloth movement? no real wind effects etc its just very tame... the wii version however is great for playability but for the next gen consoles they should focus on reality

# 28 ODogg @ 02/17/10 03:30 PM

I agree with Fetter - bring back Links 2011 please! Tiger is alright but i've never liked it near as much as Links.

# 29 MrBlueEyes Nick @ 02/27/10 11:28 PM

I am Looking forward to Tiger Woods 11. I just with everyone would leave tiger to work out all his problems on his own. He will once again be the best golfer in the world. Just think of it this way. He wasnt thing a lot about golf a lot these last few years and think about how many tournaments he won.

They should have re-named it.

Since the game is heavily invested (from a feature and artwork perspective) in Tiger himself, this would have proved to have caused a huge delay in the product shipping on time. On top of that, EA has stated they are sticking with Tiger because they feel he is still the best GOLFER in the world irrespective of his off-course issues....

shouldnt we be seeing some stuff on 11 by now?
more importantly,. will this years game ship with 'multiple cheats'?

ok that was toooo easy/

# 33 mlg33 @ 03/10/10 06:58 AM

Hi,

I understood that there will be no PC version of this game.
Only a Tiger Woods Online game...

Why producers won't come with a PGA tour 11 PC version ?
It's sad...

Playing with a mouse is a great way to play this kinda games.
Not so sure with a pad...
