EA should change their slogan

If it's in the game, it's NOT in the game.
Do the TW devs even play golf? They must think tour pros shoot -18 each round. Based on what feedback I've read, looks like TW11 is TW 10 with new bells and whistles. Change the name of the game to Tiger Woods Hot Shots Golf. Players are still able to shoot 50 or lower, and can shrink the aiming circle down to the size of a zit. Arcade players rejoice. -30 rounds and multiple holeouts still available. Looks like I'll be playing Tour Pro with True Aim only, if I want to play Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11, and not Tiger Woods Hot Shots Golf.

They've got to figure out a way to get True Aim working online in Tour Pro, at least. I don't like what I'm hearing already about what can be done in Tour Pro using non-maxed golfers with Presentation mode and Focus.

Seriously, if they can't get True Aim plugged into online multiplayer, I'll be sticking to True Aim Daily (and hopefully weeky) Live Tournaments, and private games with friends who I know will agree to lay off the Focus in Tour Pro. Of course I'll play my customary one offline career season, which might seem a little more atmospheric in True Aim mode this year.

Re: EA should change their slogan

Hey Onlooker, do you have a ps3 or 360 ? If you have a ps3 add me. I'll play Tour Pro with no focus with ya. My gamertag is shaunjuan2000. I read they are trying to find a way to patch TA into p2p. Would make the game a lot better.

I cannot wait until Tuesday. GS just added 50% bonus on trade ins. I already have $52 of store credit, plus 2 more games to trade in. I may get TW11 for free . Sweet!

I had planned to buy a PS3 this week, but something came up and gobbled my funds for it. I've pre-ordered the 360 version, which I've played the last 5 years. I plan to pick up a PS3 when Move support is added this Fall though!

Highly doubt they are doing this in TOUR Pro....I am barely able to break par and my CAG Power is 75 and Accuracy 35....it is tough as hell to hit a fairway and damn tough to hit a straight putt. PS3 version with DS3 controller....

Re: EA should change their slogan

What about the AI in offline career mode? I would like to know about this before I buy it?

Re: EA should change their slogan

Well Divot thats great to hear. I have a ps3 controller and all I want is a challenge, that's all. Thanks for the info. I feel a lot better now.

I am looking for some people to play with online, who only play Tour Pro. If you'd like add me. gamertag is shaunjuan2000.

Will be tuned in for your impression.

Re: EA should change their slogan

Hey Divot, are you building up your golfer via the Tiger Challenges? If so, could you give me an idea of what kind of challenges there are, like beat Paul Casey at Turnberry on the back nine in match play. Also on the demo it mentions a Skills Challenge. Is that the same as Tiger Challenges or is it a different mode altogether?

Re: EA should change their slogan

You'll never get sim play out of this game if you go online. Too many cheesers and dudes who don't have the know-how to tweak the game to play realistic. I had tw10 playing tough as hell, and it's not that hard to do. I never went online, though, because it's just a bunch of clowns who want to shoot -30.

As long as 11 still has powercaps and a sweet-spot option, you can tweak the game to average 70. You won't find anyone online who plays that way, though, so you'll be playing solo--unless you have friends who play the game or whatever.

Green grid should also always be off, and the putting meter should be off. One cool thing about last year was the EA gamernet challenge where dudes could save a round and post it, and then you could play against it when you got a chance--essentially like playing online, just with a recorded round.

I did this last year, and asked people on the forums to post realistic rounds to play against. It was pretty good, but too many people had high sweet spots and never missed a fairway. Anyway, just saying, you can get realistic scores and FIR and GIR percentages if you check yourself. But you'll never see people playing that way online--so I see your point.

Re: EA should change their slogan

I don't know why people are upset with the online component again. There's never been a sports game made in gaming history (and never will, at least I haven't found one) that isn't cheezed to death online in some way. It's just the nature of sports online. You could put in true view, true aim and all aids off and hell you could even find a way to incorporate true blisters on your golfers hands and people will still find a way to shoot -20. Never expect to play sim online with strangers realistically and people will never be disappointed.

Complaining about it is such a waste of energy. Find some friends online and enjoy because any other way is not possible.

Well said and I could not agree more.....
