Mike stated that distances are tuned back even more than those due to blog and community feedback....

It will be interesting to see how the personality "crisis" ends up shaping TW10. They are listening to feedback but still have achievements like "Hit a 400 yard drive," and "Get a Hole In One on a Par 4 or a Par 5." Like you have said, a lot of these changes are due to feedback that came kind of after the fact. I hope they can build around the two sides and don't get stuck somewhere in the middle. I think it really is going to come down to needing something like a "Tour Pro+" setting that goes strong sim and and an online set-up that supports two different communities. It will be interesting to see how it shapes up between TW10 and TWOnline.

There will be a Tour Pro mode Daily online tournament *everyday* this year Not only that, there will be a Tour Pro mode weekly tournament (72 holes) every week. There will also be Beginner, Amateur, and Pro difficulty tournaments for each of the above. Oh, the scoring will be real time as well. If you're playing your round at the same time as one of your buds, you'll get an update on their score after each hole, as they play their round!

That's really good to hear. It was pointless even playing in them last year because of the lame difficulty. Golf is supposed to be a challenging game, it amazes me how many people prefer to dumb it down.

Tiger has a ways to go to make me a believer in the series, but I enjoyed 09 for the most part, even with it's faults. I mostly play online against one of my friends, so it's cool that we can actually participate in the same tournaments this year on Tour Pro. I really hope this game is alright.

That is purely the arcade Default mode garbage. I doubt you could do any of those in TOUR Pro.

The problem is the console guys came from Outlaw Golf which is why TW has not been as serious on the simulation side of things as it was in the late 90's early 2000's. I am diligently trying to get them to see things from the Golf purists/simulation side of things. They are coming around slowly but surely....

Just to make sure I don't mislead you, when playing in a Daily or Weekly "live" tournament, you can't actually play in the same pairing with another player. What you can do is arrange to tee off in the Daily at the same time with your buds, and maybe have party chat enabled while you're playing (if this can be done while playing Dailies, I'm not hip to the features of party chat and where it won't work). You'll see their score posted after hole one, and where you stand on the leaderboard. Once you get some separation between you on the leaderboard though, I imagine you'll possibly have to scroll to find them, although I think I recall reading that you can tailor the leaderboard to show friends only.

I still think this is going to be a very cool alternative to the totally isolated Dailies (in which we only had one Tour Mode event a week before). I'm trying to arrange a shotgun start tournament, using the Daily, for Tour Pro mode players on 6/9/09. I've got 8 gamers onboard so far. Let me know if you're interested and I'll give you the details.

Goddam John, wish I could do such a tourney on the PS3.

Something I could think about i guess...

I see no reason why it wouldn't work on the PS3, provided everyone who is onboard with your shotgun start is teeing off at the same time. I don't know what the PS3 has in the way of a party chat function though, but then again, I don't understand the XBox 360's functionality with this feature either. I'm not sure it would be active during a Tiger Woods online session, but I'd be shocked if it wasn't.

Re: Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

Am I going crazy or did I see a mod have a thread earlier saying he has a retail copy and was posting some impressions?

Or maybe I am crazy and he did but I can't see it now because of said craziness?

Why would something like that be removed?? The game comes out Monday for pete sakes!! What makes it any different if someone scored an early copy and answered the questions???

Re: Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

Maybe the thinking is that too much information was being disclosed in this thread, and it might reduce readership of the final review. There were more than just the four or five people asking questions involved in this. There were probably 4 or 5 dozen lukers looking in on it and if their curiosity gets satisfied, they might not feel the need to read the final review.

I was wondering what the happened to that thread. Pretty lame that they took it down.

I would think that simply locking it would have been sufficient, but if an editor sees a threat to potential page views on a feature review, they'll do what they deem necessary.
