Tiger 08 (this bothers me every year)

Re: Tiger 08 (this bothers me every year)

Lomb, You nailed it.

The lowest I have ever shot was 74, I made more putts that day than I ever have any other round. I didn't think much about putting at all until the last few holes where I missed two short putts. Oh well, golf.....

When I was playing a whole lot more than I am now I could break 80 with no problem every round and it would just be down to how well I putted as to what I scored. And as you can see, I never shot lower than 74 so I spent a lot of time putting poorly.

When you are good enough to move your ball around the course competently you see that it becomes more about can you make any putts outside of 3 feet and can you save par with your short game.

Both of these things are woefully under represented in every Tiger Woods game. Finesse around the greens is almost completely absent. Which surprises me because Tiger himself has a very formidable short game, you think he would want that in his game (you know he plays this game).

Ok so to sum this up what I am looking for in TW09 is the ability to actually recreate more than just my face.

I want to be able to put at least a close representation of the clubs I own and the skill set I believe I possess in the game of golf against the pros and see how I fare.

Like I have written in my suggestions, if you could set your max yardages, you could bring your game into the game. If you could set your tendencies as well that would be ace.

I mean I feel like this is the intent of the TW series but they stop at game face.

Ok it looks sort of like me from the side but I don't look like a combination of Zach Johnson and Matt Damon from the front, but close enough.

Now let me put my golf game, or lack of, into the game as well and see how I fare.
