As Usual, too little detail and a major flaw with the computer golfers
While this game has some fun to it, EA Sports has never been known to go out of their way to fine tune a product and give it some polish, and certainly they rarely fix anything with a patch.
The computer golfers in this game are PERFECT. They NEVER miss a fairway, NEVER miss a GIR, and always 1 putt, with occasional 2 putt. Typically they shoot in the 50s, regardless of what course, what conditions. They are absolutely perfect and therefore no fun to play at all. I used to like doing a 'mixed doubles' in 2009 version, me team up with Paula Creamer (as I have a crush on her :-), not to mention shes a great golfer) and go against Tiger and Annika. Perhaps Best Ball, or some such. Great matches, sometimes close, sometimes we'd win big, sometimes they'd win big. Real genuine UNPREDICTABLE fun. Now in 2010, all of them are perfect, including Paula of course.
This year its hard to stay awake during such, all 3 or them, Paula included, are absolutely perfect. Yawn.
Re the Play the Pros, this is a great idea, but as usual EA leaves out some key things, why for instance are we not allowed on monday thru wednesday to play the course, practice like the real pros do, in live weather. We can do nothing until day 1. And you cannot practice most of the courses in the other part of the game, because most of the cousrses do not really exist.
If the course the real pga is playing that week, is not part of the game, EA makes up some conglomeration of holes from courses in the game, so #1 might be from Beth Page, #2 Pinehurst, #3 Pebble etc. Thus impossible to practice. How hard could it be for them to oopen up mon-wed so we can practice the 'made up' course they are using that week.
The greens are ludicrously fast, th precision putting, which you have no choice but to use in play the pros is good, but very difficult. Be prepared in play the pros to have a very hard time of it as you must play at the the top level "Tour Pro" All of that makes sense I guess in some way, though not sure why. Its not like we are competing online against anybody.
And as usual, no detail, you don't even see your stats at the end of a round, how many GIRs, how many putts, etc. STuff that is just standard everyday fare in any good golf simulation. When plyaing a computer golfer you never have any idea how far thier drive went, what distance they are from the pin, stuff a good caddy would be telling you. You also have no way of knowing the slope of a green you are hitting an approach to. Little details that EA Sports has never cared about and never will. They are market driven, get it out the door. Don't do anything extra to take more pride in your accomplishment.
Anyway, most of the stuff that was fun in 2009 has been ruined by the perfect computer golfers. Even the simulated pga tour is the same, everybody shooting in the 50s and low 60s. All in all I think 2009 is a better game. if it had precision putting, it would be about perfect.
Wanna love it but I don't........
I LOVED Tiger Woods '09 and pretty much mastered the thing. Don't get me wrong, I want new challenges. For $60 I don't want to just slide right in and start dominating right off the bat..... But I'd prefer legit challenges versus curve balls. Has no one else noticed that the math seems to be off, especially where approach shots are concerned? If I'm 100 yards out, with a five mile an hour wind at my back and the "zoom" / distance gauge suggests I'll pretty much land on the pin how on earth am I coming up 30 yards short and in the water? On a 100% contact shot? And then a couple holes later, same or VERY similar set of circumstances, I overshoot by 20 yards........ Um, what? Mostly though I find myself coming up short on approach shots and this did NOT happen on '09. Again, give me a good challenge but bad math doesn't count. Tell me someone else is having this problem, please.
And secondly apparently "random" weather means consistent 20 mile an hour winds and rain on at least six or seven holes in the 90% of the tournaments played. This is "random"??!!
Maybe it's just me but so far, aside from the new tournaments and courses, I'm not nearly as impressed as I thought I'd be.
Awesome
I was a little concerned about the quality of this years game after playing the demo. After messing around with it for a few hours I am very impressed. The graphics seem a little better then 09. The terrain has more detail and the coloring seems a little more natural. Gameplay is pretty much the same as last year except for the new putting. I like the fact that it is easier to pull my putts left or right. Nice improvement. The new weather effects are also pretty cool. I am giving this 4 stars because I still can't create my own course. Maybe next year???
