Career Mode the way to go?

Re: Career Mode the way to go?

I'm 32, and I had my NES in 1985 at the age of 5. The first Atari was out in the 70's.

Also, the Sega Master System was out in the mid 80s.

Wow, I guess my memory is going early. Can I convince my boss I need to retire before it's too late to enjoy my golden years?

Re: Career Mode the way to go?

career mode has been fun this year, and a challenge as long as you max out opponent strength... I no longer win every tourney, and in some cases haven't qualified for a few due to not being ranked high enough... Takes time, but has been fun gaining the skill...

Hey, Reading, I'm new to the Tiger Woods on the Xbox. I bought it for years on the PS2 and loved the tour calendar and so many of the real courses for the tour modes. I got the wii version for the last three years, and enjoyed that. One thing I noticed on all of those was how easy it was to find where to earn attribute points. It seems more difficult on this platform, at least for me. You mention it takes time but has been fun gaining the skill. Any advice on how to gain the skill relatively quickly but not take the fun and challenge out of it. I just want to get my golfer to a competitive state and then let the fun begin.

This would drive me nuts... Way too long to complete the round... As long as it was an option, I would be fine with it... If it forced you... I would pull my hair out... I could tolerate the lines like simultaneous play and that would be it... to each his own...

It would definitely have to be an option. I understand people are pressed for time. But I would definitely want to play with the leaders on Sunday of a tournament.

Re: Career Mode the way to go?

There were computer golf games in the 1980s? I'm 34, which means I had my first Atari at 8 or 9, which was the mid-80s and the first game I played was stick-figure baseball.

Are you sure you don't mean mid-90s when Sega was big?

I guess I'm thinking Commodore 64. Doesn't anyone remember games like Leaderboard Golf?

Re: Career Mode the way to go?

Play a few skills challenges in the career mode and you will see that when they do put you next to an ai golfer there is zero balance. So they need to have someone playing alongside you that doesn't birdie/eagle every single hole. Apparently we are still a long way from that.

I actually like the challenges where you play other golfers. It's unfortunate the AI isn't tuned properly but I remember earlier Tiger Woods games where the AI was more balanced in the challenges.

I just think there's a degree of tension there when you play alongside the AI that's missing when you just play against the leaderboard.
