Good review...only one issue with the review is the following statement:

(A quick side note, True-Aim may be toggled on or off and is not available online.)
This is not entirely true. TrueAim is used in every online mode EXCEPT P2P matches. EA is looking into patching this into TW11, but no word yet if it is going to be in the first patch due out in a couple of weeks.

The review doesn't mention that TW 11 will support the Playstation Move when it is released. It should improve the game enough for me to consider a purchase

wholeheartedly disagree with the score . This is the best playing tiger woods game I've played on next gen. The visuals have received major upgrades and the true view etc cam that has been implemented make it feel more like your in the game.

9.0 at least what a gip...
 
# 4 Flightwhite24 @ 07/03/10 09:28 AM
9 at least is the score I would give. By far the best TW imo.

Best Tiger so far no doubt. True Aim has saved this franchise. Extremely impressed with this years installment.

I agree with you that True Aim is a good new feature but overall I can't say I'm very impressed. I never get the feeling that people who truly love golf develop this game. Just too many glitches (eg in the stats) that don't get addressed from year to year, feeble commentary, shallow career mode, cardboard crowds, lack of tournament atmosphere and more. When I think how good a game MLB The Show is, with its wonderful attention to detail which can only come from developers who truly love the game of baseball, and what this game could be like if it had developers of similar commitment - well, it just leaves me with a strong feeling of disappointment.

I certainly agree with all of your sentiments. There's shortcomings no doubt. With that said this is the best Tiger to date. Yeah it could be a ton better but I'm sure the revenue earned by this game is half if not much less than a game like The Show. I don't think its a lack of love but more a lack of funds to really push the game.

I feel you particularly on the crowd and the commentary.

Gameplay wise True Aim is a huge leap for the Sim gaming community. It probably doubled my replay value so I consider it a huge leap for the title.

Is it worth the buy?

If you are a tour pro player and using true aim, it is a fantastic game.

If you're not interested in true aim, there's probably not a whole lot there.

After having the game for a few weeks, I'm finally getting comfortable with true aim.

It's much better but not perfect. I don't see it being tied to course conditions very well (it seems like sometimes the AI struggles in easy conditions and has no problem in tough ones) but the final scores aren't insane this year.

Good review. It's an enjoyable game, but there are still too few courses.

Out of curiosity, does anyone know why there are so many more courses on the Wii version compared to the 360? Is it a technical thing, or is simply a matter of EA trying to get more money?

100% spot on, I couldn't agree more.

TrueAim is the heart of this year's installment, and to ME, IMO, they reinvented the wheel with this feature. It makes it THAT much better. EA reintroduced all that makes golf what it is; skill, luck, joy, pain, frustration, anger, chance, risk and reward. No shots are gimmes anymore, and even having a birdie OPPORTUNITY is exciting this year (as opposed to getting eagles on every par 5 like in year's past).

The randomness of golf is finally represented very well in Tiger Woods 11. Love this game!

There's a specific setting for computer opponent difficulty. have you tried adjusting that?

Agreed that it's an enjoyable game. I don't know why the Wii has so many courses, but clearly, the Wii version is the best version of TW11.

Wii version has :
+Many more courses
+True Aim

The courses in the Wii version are incredible, and when playing in 480p with composite video, actually looks very good for a Wii game. Yea the textures of the trees and bushes aren't as detailed as the other versions, but the lighting and color make the game look great.

The Wii version does look very good and is a huge improvement from other games. Case in point, next time you are in a sand trap, look at the bunker. (especially from true view when looking down at the ball) Look at the sand as the sun is hitting it. The reflection of the sand has a great visual effect. Also in the Wii version, the water reflections look a lot better.

Also, my favorite part of true view is the one thing that I kinda sometimes miss having the option to have : the camera after you hit the ball. Sometimes I wish I could see more of a 3rd person view of the ball moving in the air following the ball like it is on the regular camera. (non-true view) But............

I have learned to appreciate the vantage point of true view after the ball is hit. It zooms in on the ball, but the camera remains from the vantage point of your golfer as the ball lands. Only after the ball stops do you see a screen of where the ball lands. (this is different from standard non-true view control where you do not have that type of camera) The great thing about this is that true view and true swing is a totally new game. It has different camera angles, less visual overlays during your swing and aiming, and generally has more of a 1st person feeling. But after playing it a while, I definetly love the camera after you hit the ball. (it's like you are playing golf and you are watching it land and see it bounce left or right from your golfer's view - i think subtly it adds a lot to the flow of the game, the natural suspense of the game of golf you feel when you are playing in real life and you hit a ball and are waiting to watch it land)

The true swing is so realistic it's absolutely amazing. Next time you are in a sand bunker, take a practice swing (hold B and A) and swing very far inside (like as if you were trying to hit your toes with the club). Notice sand kicks up just like in real life. AMAZING!

Here's a tip with true view : you know how you have to press B to approach the ball? well did you know that the angle that you have the wii-mote pressing down when you press B creates a different contact point that you have to swing your controller to? Lets say you press B with the wii-mote directly facing down. Then lets say you release B and press it again with the wii-mote facing 15 degrees from down. You'll notice that you have to swing in a different ball contact point. It's just like real golf. (how you address the ball is so important)

One other thing. If you are having trouble with true swing, like you aren't getting full power. Here's a hint : rotate your wrists so that the top wii-mote is pointing towards the sky during your backswing (as if your club head is pointing straight up). If you do that and have a nice smooth slow downward timing as you contact the ball, you will hit the ball near 100%.

And I love being able to set up my shot. Try the vertical camera. Sometimes it's just fun to move my club around before hitting the ball and just trying to get into a smooth groove. This is a 1:1 golf simulation. First time ever. Best golf simulation of all-time, so far.

Typical Wii course is 40-50 MB in size. Typical 360/PS3 courses is between 160-250 MB in size. Easy to fit more courses on the Wii disc and the Wii does not have DLC courses....

PS3/360 has the True Aim too so its just the amount of courses.

Came anyone confirm that you can use True aim in online playing with friends? The main reason me, my cousin, and my dad are thinking about picking this up is so we can play online with one another and use True Aim.

I don't wanna use just true aim offline and the moment I go to play with my buddies I have to go the easy route

The Wii version, I believe you can. In the 360/PS3 versions, the only online mode you can't use TrueAim is P2P online matches. Every other online mode, TrueAim works, especially the Live Tournaments.

This would be for 360. So are there modes that the three of us could play online and use true aim? Are the live tournaments able to be setup only for friends or is that a "ranked" type of game mode where who you play is random?

There is no mode online where the 3 of you could play online in a group and use TrueAim. TrueAim is available to play in Live Tournament rounds, but these are limited to the single player experience unfortunately.
