Re: I have my copy of TW09

Re: I have my copy of TW09

Few questions...

1. How many courses? 16?? No Firestone?!?! That has to be a DL course cuz they had videos during the tourney a few weeks ago...

2. Are there different times of day? Sunrise, Midday, Afternoon, etc??

3. Different weather/temperatures?? Fog? Clouds? Rain?

4. How does the dynamic attributes work? Bad putt, putting goes down? Or is it overall for the round?

i havent played enough to notice diff weather, but the shanghai course which kicks off the pga tour mode, had a nice early morning haze to it.
not sure if it changes

for course options in game modes the wind can be set to
CALM
BREEZY
WINDY
GALE FORCE



as far as dynamic attributes
it seems to go up after each round only

Re: I have my copy of TW09

can the putting distance pointer be turned off to allow for a free swing putting stroke? IOW, can you putt based on feel alone (distance you draw the putter back) in higher difficulty level?

Unfortunately that putting system was only in Links 2004. Tiger you still have to set the distance.

If it's like TW 2008/07 (and from all I've read it is), it will have a 5', 10', 20', 40', 80', and 120' putter range to choose from. If I recall correctly, I believe it automatically puts the putter range on the screen that it thinks you need. It's not always right though; it's calculation doesn't account for elevation changes, it goes purely on distance to hole.

Seeing and feeling my golfer put the same stroke on a 3 foot putt that's used on a 48 foot putt is not only goofy looking, it's also counter-intuitive. I still can't believe that a next-gen golf game uses a work-around interface system that's this archaic!? I would think that at least at Tiger Woods hardest level of difficulty, the player would be required to use his touch and intuition to regulate the putter thoughout it entire range, save for maybe an 18-24" tap-in "gimmie".

You allude to Links 2004's putting system and it was and is light years ahead of what we're forced to settle for in a golf game that's got a 5 year technology curve on it. Links 2004's putting system wasn't perfect, but it hasn't been sniffed by anyone else on a console using an analog interface. I would have loved to have seen where Links 2004's system could have gone with more refinement and tuning, especially on today's hardware!

Re: I have my copy of TW09

unfortunatly..they will never do this until another next gen system emerges...they should have did this from the change of last gen to now..they chose not to because they know people will buy the game anyway...bastards!

Re: I have my copy of TW09

So...

What is new with this game?

I mean I see 6 pages of threads here, and I haven't really learned anything about the game.

All my questions are were either not known, or not verifiable...

Did you just buy the game and leave it in the car??

I feel the same as you neuroticomic. I have been so busy with work and my sons football games that I have not even touched the game except for a play now game that lasted all of 10 minutes because I had to go to bed for work and I have had the game since Friday. Some people do have lives that do not revolve around video games. Peace!!!!!

Do us a favor buddy if you have the game and aren't gonna post anything about it, why tell us you have it? I think it's fair to say that that's what we expected from this thread when it supposed to be about what the people who have the game think about it. What's the point of telling us you have it? Why not just post something about a game when you are ready to talk about the game. I don't understand why you feel a need to say you have it and then leave it at that. OS would never survive if that's what people did. I hope you see my point. Peace.

I totally understand your impatience because I would feel the same way but my Religion, Wife, Kids, Job comes before any Video Game. My coming on here mainly was to give a heads up that the game is available to help other Oser's grab a copy early which I have been doing the past 2-3 years. I can't really compare it to last years because I only played it a couple of days because I did not like 08. Again if my not posting impressions offends you I am sorry. The title of this thread says nothing about impressions. The title says "I have my copy of TW09" I rather tip fellow Oser's off to where they can score a copy early than give my personal impressions because giving impressions are not my strong suit. Look at my post history which is well over 1700 post and the majority of them are asking questions and giving a heads up as to where a game can be found early. Peace!!!!!

Exactly...

It's like, HEY EVERYONE I GOT THE GAME!! GOT IT 3 DAYS BEFORE THE OFFICIAL RELEASE!!

But when people ask questions about it, he responds "Oh I haven't played it..."

heh... oh well..
