Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 12: The Masters Q&A

[Steve_OS]

Check out the recent Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 12: The Masters Q&A session, EA recently had with their Facebook and Twitter family.

"Q. I have a suggestion for the game. You should put the par three course as well as the Masters course.

A. The Par 3 course at Augusta National is in the game."

Re: Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 12: The Masters Q&A

Sounds good but I wonder if the Augusta par 3 will be used for tourney mode. I would doubt it.

Has it been determined that when in true aim mode you can see your ball land at the end (TV presentation) or is it the same as last year where you stay in the true aim perspective the whole time?

I have three questions...
#1) How does the "swing" work? Is it three-click? Is it using the analog stick?
#2) How does one improve their golfer's attributes? What is the "training"?
#3) When a golfer is at max ability, how far can he hit? 280? 320? More?

Is collector's edition only available for the PS3? I ask because on amazon they only have the ps3 CE listed as available. (Btw....CE is $10 more, but CE doesn't include $10 amazon credit, so not sure those 5 courses are worth $20 to me).

Also, do you think they will release those 5 courses as a DLC bundle or as individual courses?

[alangst]

Also.... on Gamestop's website, they also list Pinehurst as one of the CE courses, and they have Bethpage Black as a Gamestop exclusive course for both editions.

I have three questions...
#1) How does the "swing" work? Is it three-click? Is it using the analog stick?

All of the above, and then some. 3-click will be available in the first two difficulty levels analog stick will be available in all levels. In addition to that, the Move is available and is said to replicate a 1:1 proportionality with a real golf swing on the PS3 version.

#2) How does one improve their golfer's attributes? What is the "training"?

Improvement comes through your performance playing the game and hitting milestones. You are awarded experience points for your achievements. As for training... I'm not sure what is meant by this in this case, unless it's like the PC version of Tiger Woods Online and you buy attributes with winnings.

#3) When a golfer is at max ability, how far can he hit? 280? 320? More?

A maxed out golfer with 100% set in club tuner will average 310 yards according to what I read in EA Sports official forum.

Sorry, I screwed up...BP black is gamestop exclusive for 360.....Turnberry is gamestop exclusive for both ps3 versions.

Re: Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 12: The Masters Q&A

A quick question, can you create golfers and enter them into career mode ala Fight Night? Would like to see Phil, Vegas, etc as CPU controlled players.

Re: Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 12: The Masters Q&A

Q. Can you place the tee where you want to within each box?

*

A. This option is only available on Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 12: The Masters for the Wii. By selecting a button on the tee box, you can now slide your golfer anywhere between the tee boxes, as allowed in real life.* Now get a better angle around the trees or other tough dog legs.

Why would they only add this for the Wii? I honestly don't get the guys who work on this game... No playoffs and only the Wii allows you to move around in the tee box. I know EA takes there time to add features to all there sports games but my goodness, TW has been taking baby steps for 5 years now.

They have me hooked this year because of Augusta, but next year will be another off year for me unless they make a better effort at representing the game of golf and the PGA Tour.

AAAARRRGH!! How is a 43-year old married man with 4 kids and limited income supposed to find time to play 3 such highly-anticipated spring games (TW 12, NASCAR 11 and MLB 2K11), let alone afford them all?

I don't know but when you figure it out please let me know. I have to add MLB 11 The Show to that list!

PS3 Tiger Woods Collectors Edition. I have to have the other 5 courses!
PS3 Nascar 11
PC MLB 2k11
PS3 MLB 11 The Show

I never buy this many games in a short duration of time but they are all must haves.
