Tomorrow I'm heading to do some after Christmas shopping and getting a golf xbox game among a few others. I need your guys opinion on what I should get, TW 2004 or Links. I'm looking for difficulty and also replayability as far as the career modes go. I've played Tiger 04 for about an hour and it seemed pretty cool, but I have yet to try Links out. Any suggestions would be great.

its your own decision but i think you will have more fun with Tiger Woods PGA Tour especially when you build your own character because you have to build up your attributes and you can get sponsorships from Oakley and Ping and other companies.

Honestly i have no idea what you guys are talking about...all you have to do on tiger woods 2004 is turn off every "aid" (like the spin feature and power boost, etc.) other than wind meter and putting grid and you will shoot reasonable numbers. I am in the 10th tournament of my season and my scoring average is a 71...now if you dont think thats realistic you dont know a damn thing about golf.

Except that still doesn't fix problems with enviromental realism. For example, if I hit a tree in Links, several things might happen:

a) hit the trunk, and my ball will reflect at the angle hit.
b) hit a top branch, and slow it down but not stop it
c) completely stop it, dropping it to the ground.

In tiger, the trees aren't modeled like that. Even if you miss them it will sometimes register that you hit them, and there's no real modeling of where you hit on the tree.

Have you not ever played TW 2004, its the exact same thing. If you hit an upper branch you still get good distance but it slows it up, if you hit leaves in the middle it will drop it to the ground and if you hit the trunk it sends it of at the angle in which you hit it....i doubt that youve ever played tiger woods then because it does exactly what you say it does in links

Well, I'm basing my Tiger experience off 2003, in which I played through the entire tiger challenge. I played a couple rounds in 2004, but never hit a tree--I assumed it was the same since everything else seemed to be the same between 2003 and 2004 on the course. Sorry to be mistaken. Glad to hear that they fixed that.
