No, he really isn't and I agree with him completely. The game is made for kids and it doesn't feel a thing like actual PGA Tournament golf. I am not talking about the difficulty of it, I am talking about the cheesiness of it from the things people say to the stupid dances to the fact that golfers just walk right over the cup and never pick up their ball. It doesn't matter if you put in our tour pro mode, you still get all the ridiculous weekend warrior amateur public course happy gilmore BS that has no place in a PGA Tour game.

The actual game of golf on tour pro plays great.From how the rough plays, to the wind, how fast greens will run, etc. I find it kind of laughable that the fluff is your major complaint.Just an idea, but hit the 'A' or 'X' button(depending on system) and you don't have to watch what they say or do.

Your guy doesn't pick his ball up out of the hole! Seriously? You are aware that you are playing a video game and you are playing a simulated round of gold on a simulated course?

Turn all of it off in the Options menu....Golfer reactions, big hit moments/cameras, etc....

Baa7 is just hating for the sake of hating. But Baa7 acts like it's absolutely unplayable. Baa7 is just posting for the sake of posting.

Baa7 is simply following the OS guidelines: posting his impressions in the impressions thread. What are you doing, lol?

The game isn't all that bad and it's more than playable. Regardless, it's at best a clunky and uninspired representation of golf and what's involved in the mechanics of hitting a golf ball. And when comparing EA's console game to great adult sim golf games of the past, yes, it comes across as a game developed with kids in mind, no question. It's more a golf "toy" than a golf sim, absolutely.

I couldn't agree with you more. It pisses me off how much the presentation and feel of actual PGA golf gets lost in the TW series. I seriously don't think that the developers ever watch golf on TV. I watch alot of golf on TV, and I am yet to see a player drop his club and start dancing...it is just so stupid. I wrote a post a few years ago when they announced broadcast presentation in the game, and then found out all that meant was the PIP window, it just proves they don't watch cuz the PIP window hasn't been used since '02 in a real golf broadcast. If EA is going to hold onto the exclusive PGA license (which is a shame cuz i know 2K could make a game that would blow this away) then we need a PGA Tour golf game, not an arcade cartoonish golf game with PGA players. I mean the commentary is a joke, the reactions are unbelievable childish, and camera angles (don't even get me started on the big-hit cameras) are way too videogame, not enough real life. Also, I don't know if it bothers anyone else, but just once I would like to see my golfer bend down and pick his ball up out of the cup. I know what would make the perfect golf game for us actual golfers, but for some reason it seems all EA cares about is appealing to the guys that watch Happy Gilmore and want to bust 450 yard drives and eagle every hole. Am I alone on this or does anyone else agree?

I'm totally with you on this. I really enjoy this game being the first TW I've played in probably 4-5 years. But the thing that gets me is the crappy announcing (sorry, I just don't like it) and the over the top celebrations. Luckily if you hit A quickly enough you spare yourself the embarrassment of riding your golf club like it's a pony. And if I hear, "Get in your hole" one more time........

My 'favorite' is "He can't be happy with a bogey on that hole." Well, DUH! How often ARE you happy with a bogey, Einstein?

At least you can turn off most of this stuff in options.

The awful wooden announcing (why'd they get rid of M & F??), the celebration animations and the voices can all be turned off in options.

I love the random weather feature, but wonder why wind isn't included and is separate. It would be even better if I could put wind at random and get different gusts throughout the round.

The courses are beautiful, for the first time, I was amazed by the hills and slopes of St. Andrews. Which normally, I always viewed as a flat boring course with big greens.

I'm still hitting too many fairways however, I was of the opinion that Tiger 08 had the perfect stick sensitivity, yet they seemed to relaxed this a bit.

I wish while playing online I would be given more options, like follow cam and turning of the 3 hole simultaneous play feature. I'm in the minority on not liking it. I feel like those lines make it into a race to finish first.

The trend of charging 600 msft pts courses (Spyglass) is absurd, 200-400 would be a more reasonable price. Maybe 600 for a 2 course pack but not for one single course.

Yeah, it helps to go into the options to see this. It's been a long school year teaching so my brain is on shut down mode.
Thanks, I'll be turning off a lot of these options and turning down the commentary.

Sounds good Mike.....welcome aboard. God I hope you like it, or I will feel like an ***.:wink:

Blue - Played 2 rounds last night.

Tour Pro daily at Turnberry Ailsa - 78 - used Tiger.
First tourney in career mode with attributes all in the 2.5 - 3.5 range - 76 with 13 fairways hit and 38% GIR.

Very much like the new putting.

Again - I anticipate that tourney scores on Tour Pro will be more realistic once EA rolls out single try events. Happy with the game so far.

Re: Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 10 Impressions (PS3, 360)

Guys I totally agree with all of the comments about the over the top celebrations, big hit animations, announcing etc. I've always hated that crap, but as others mentioned, just turn it off. I do leave the announcers on, although they continue to be pretty bad.

As far as the commentary, I just don't get it. I mean look at other sports games . . . Specifically MLB the Show, that game has so much variety from the announcers it's sick. I'm 65 games into a season and I'm still hearing new stuff. In all honesty, I just don't think that the commentary is very high on the priority list from year to year. Taking a year off before releasing the next version could really benefit something like beefing up the commentary.

I can live with some of your stats being boosted with news clubs or balls, but throwing on a wristwatch and shades should have no bearing over anything. I was hoping they'd do something about that this year. Not a huge gripe of mine, but it's definitely pretty stupid.

The thing is, those announcers just replaced Feherty and McCord (last year?). In other words, that's supposed to be a newly-implemented improvement to the game. Puzzling how anyone on the development team could have listened to them and thought the new announcing was better than what was in the game already.

That and why lock stuff? I mean really, I bought the game paid full price, If I want my guy to have the (insert clubs here), why the hell can't I? That is my biggest gripe. I would love to have my created golfers clubs match the ones that I play with, but in order to do that I have to a.) play the game all the way through to the point that the stuff I own is unlocked or b.) spend even more money and buy the stuff. Neither one of those options appeal to me at all. My time to play is limited by the fact that I'm an adult who dosn't get a summer break and has a job, gf, life. Oh well.
