Wow, Total Control is everything I've been waiting for with this series or any video golf game in the last 20 years for that matter. Looks like I may finally be mothballing TW 08 for the PC.

Yeah, it's been a long time coming - a new mechanic. It really does shore up a lot of the issues we faced with the old shot stick.

I really do hope everyone gives it a shot. Also, for a more in depth look at the shot mechanic, check out Game Changer Fred (Oblong) Parrow's in depth blog --

Has the chipping mechanic been fixed. It's been effectively useless for years.

It has been yes. Again, every single shot can be created by the user. There are now various different ways to chip onto the green and different ways to play it. There is no more of this 'shoot 54%' but only pull the stick back for a fraction of a second garbage. God I hated that so much lol...yeah that stuff is all gone now...

I posed that question to Fred Parrow (Oblong) in the EA Sports Tiger Woods forum. He says that you can tailor your chip shot to have the elevation and runout that you desire, and that it looks like a chipshot when it's hit. I agree with you, chipping was pretty much useless in past games in most situations... good to know they finally fixed this!

The ball icon with the impact cursor is something I've seen and played with in another golf game back in the Nintendo days. Loved it, thought it was a terrific feature.

I have to say though that the stance setup will lose all its difficulty effectiveness if we can't adjust it from the golfer's POV. It takes all the guesswork out if we have an overhead shot of the fairway with markers indicting where the ball will land. I need to be able to set up my stance blind so to speak, otherwise there's no point to it.

Thanks Corey, I'm fairly close to Kitchener, you can invite me over anytime to beta test the game if you like.

Anything new with putting this year? The system used last year was not alot of fun to play.
