anybody enjoy 12 better?

Re: anybody enjoy 12 better?

One thing I don't really get yet is hitting draws and fades. I can change my stance appropriately, but do I need to change my swing path with the controller as well.

With a right handed golfer you need to take the controller back slightly down ( depending how much of a draw you want) to the right and then diagonally go forward so that the controller swingpath ends up slightly to the left of the middle and vice versa for a fade. Its a similar swing path that you would do in real life and is not easy to pull off.


EDIT: My bad on the above, what I just said above I meant the opposite way so where I said draw I meant fade.

Diagonal swing on Pro, Tour Pro, and Tournament... You simply set your draw and fade and swing staight on Amatuer....

and.. Career Mode just became much more popular as the rounds add status to your Country Club... Now, strictly online users are playing it in between Online rds.... Some discovering it for the first time... literally...

An upgrade next year would be fantastic...

12 was a huge disappointment for me. I'm really enjoying 13. There's a lot more to the swing mechanics in 13 which for me has made a deeper and more enjoyable experience.

I echo these sentiments... 12, just from the demo and the week I had it for rent, I knew would not be a purchase, but 13 has been awesome... So much more to this game now with the adition of country clubs... Kind gives the feel and aspect of clubs in NHL... Love the fact that your club creates tourney's, accumulate points to become the best, etc... The swing, I like it much better now... I enjoyed 11, not so much with 12, and am loving 13 becuase while I have excellent rounds at times, I also screw up some putts, it isn't so "automatic" as it used to be, and while that makes me pull my hair out when I have it perfectly lined and think I hit it perfect, I miss it... An odd enjoyment for sure, but brings the game to a little better realism...

After a few days of playing, TW13 blows away TW12 in almost every aspect. This new swing is really growing on me and is the best innovation they have ever done in the series (sorry TW11 but your true aim has now been bumped to 2nd).

With the Move it is excellent but even the controller version has become really enjoyable and I find myself playing with that more than I thought (and the fact that I have a sore back so I'm taking a break from the Move right now).

I don't find the shot stick too forgiving now because in order to get a longer distance shot you have to push forward quickly and it goes offline alot. I also have my accuracy at minimum so that helps too.

The short game is so much better, everything is by feel and the animations are better. When you have a delicate chip and hit it close to the pin, it feels so rewarding and something that I never felt with prior TW games. I know people hated the putting at the start (including me) but now I find more that enjoyable because the speed and follow thru really matters and it really feels more intuitive now.

TW13 has a certain delicacy to the game that makes it very simlike and the graphics is a definate upgrade over TW12 and it really immerses you into the game.

The only thing I don't like is career mode is still pretty dry. If TW14 has the much needed career overhaul combined with this shot mechanic and graphics, it's gonna be almost a perfect game.

Don't go by the demo too much. If you are a video golf game player then you are doing yourself a disservice by not getting TW13.

this is what I have come to expect from members on this forum. Thanks alot for the review Im heading to amazon right now

And that is a particularly glowing review since it came from Seymour. He's pretty critical of golf games so his positive review carries right over the green for TW13
