So you judge an entire game by the demo? Um, okay...

Its aggravating to say the least. Of course, they generally pull the right club, but found it aggravating. You just step up with no thought other than left sick back, left stick through. Meh

I'm sitting here pondering whether to pick this game up or not. I've had every tiger woods since inception but after playing this demo I kinda got the same feeling of , "listen to the caddy, press A, pull back stick, play next shot. Is this the case or is the game actually more free thinking than that?

I don't really see the big deal about the caddie. Check my impressions in the impression thread for full game.

i played 2 games last night for the first time...

One of them, TW, i had a blast playing simultaneous stroke with my buddies for 3 rounds... no issues (technically) and the game was solid and fun (TOUR Pro level). Scoring was a bit easy for being the first day with a new game, but we can mess with conditions and even go up to Tournament mode if necessary. Solid opening day launch.

The other, NTG 2011 was the most frustrating experience i've ever had with a game online. As soon as you load (if you load) you are sent tumbling end over end and everyone is crashing during the pace lap...lol. What a nightmare.

So I'm liking my TW.. i don't take it's stability online for granted either.

Quick question...in order to hit a fade/draw do you just move the right stick to the appropriate place in the circle and then just pull the swing stick straight back and straight forward? Doesn't that seem to easy to put sidespin on the ball?

Not necessarily...but would it be that unreasonable if someone did? Otherwise, why put out a demo?

Seeing as how before yesterday, the demo is all anyone had to judge anything by, coupled with the fact that this is indeed the demo impressions thread, the comment was fair game (albeit a bit pithy and off-handed). Notice I didn't put my comment in the full game impressions thread.

Can't blame you. The demo came close to derailing me from getting the game, but I'm sure glad I got the game now.

Good to know - I've been perusing the full game impressions thread, and seems like people are enjoying the game. I'll keep an open mind.
