Re: Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 11 Demo Available Now, Post Impressions Here

Seriously? The big new addition only works for half of the gaming experience out of the box. They change the menu around, add a few courses along with the "little touchups" and "bam" here is your brand new game!

With all due respect, this is practically the same game as the previous games but with a new coat of paint.

I value your opinion and posts but I get the feeling there may be a little bit of a bias towards EA with you.

Yo9u can shout "bias" til the cows come home, however, I have seen the entire game, you haven't. So while I respect your point of view based upon the demo, as far as I know, I am still allowed to disagree with it without being called "biased".

Did TW10 have a Ryder Cup mode? Did TW10 have a new aiming system? Did TW10 have a new way to determine how your character's attributes are determined (by YOU the user)? Did TW10 have clothing that is animated? Shall I go on?

True Aim will NOT be available for "PART OF the gaming experience". Due to technical limitations, EA has stated it won't be available out of the box in MP online games. It WILL be available for every other mode both online and offline which is hardly "half the game experience". EA also stated they are looking for ways to patch this new aiming into the game or find a compromise that works without the zooming that is currently in the feature. Yeah, I see your point about TW11 being the same game with "a new coat of paint.....

Regarding attributes: I understand we'll be able to assign points to ratings at our discretion but will ratings still decline based on poor performance? I really liked that last year if I was having a terrible day with my wedges my wedge skill would take a hit - it prevented my golfer from turning into a superman.

I have to agree also that graphics are refined and definitely improved and the new sound effects are FINALLY realistic. It sounds great. New swing control may alone, be worth the price of admission.... it's actually a nice challenge

CamleeEA opened an EA Ask the Devs thread at their forums. Got any questions, he''ll do his best to answer them. Check it out!

I don't feel like signing up to EA. If anybody has a user ID (cough"Divotmaker" cough) can you ask the dev whether they actually made the AI scoring in season mode realistic this year so the winner isn't shooting -35 every tourney. For me anyways this is a game killer because it takes all realism out of season mode as you feel obligated to build your golfer up to superhuman to compete and birdie every hole. It's like playing Madden and all the scores being 90-73. Just makes the game cartoonish especially since the game should be more challenging with true aim and true view with the PS3 wand. It's especially frustrating because it's so easy to fix.

At the very least have a slider for it so gamers can adjust the scoring range to thier hearts delight if some gamers insist on buliding golfers with 400 yard drives.

Why? Wouldn't you rather ask the Devs directly? Sorry, but I have enough on my plate. I can't be a messenger between forums when it takes all of 2-3 minutes to sign up for an account on the EA forums...

Re: Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 11 Demo Available Now, Post Impressions Here

i havent played TWs in a long time but was looking to pick up TW11.

can someone please explain the difference in the difficulty settings...

obviously i know that tour pro is more challenging than amature, and that most ppl go to higher difficulty settings for a greater challenge..

but i find that most of EAs sports title only play fairly on the defualt settings which again 4 most ppl is to easy.

so along with explaing what the differences in gameplay would be with different difficulty settings, is there the option to customise the difficulty,

basically have the difficulty set to amature but have it play like tour pro by turn off all assist that real golfers dont have....or is this logic somehow flawed.

I stay away from anything less than Tour Pro in Tiger Woods golf games because it makes absolutely no sense to me how I should be able to affect the ball *after* it has left the clubhead. Your idea of playing Amateur mode, with options off that make it play more like Tour Pro mode will work fine, as long as you're playing offline. You can bet your sweet bippy that those playing amateur online are using every aid and boost at their disposal.

I don't agree with your point that EA Sports titles, including this one, only play fairly on default settings. I think they are *fair* to the degree that they are fair, across the spectrum of play difficulties. They just offer more challenge in higher difficulty settings, but I've never thought of it as being because they're unfair, particularly in Tiger Woods golf.

Re: Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 11 Demo Available Now, Post Impressions Here

After playing the demo for the last 4 days, I've developed a purchase strategy for Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11. As silly as this may sound, my decision on which version of Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11 to buy has come down to this - what will be the highest resolution platform on which I can play Tiger Woods 11 using True View?

If I get word that the PS3 version will eventually include True View, when Move support is implemented this Fall, then that's the direction I'll be going. Otherwise, I'll be buying a Wii and playing Tiger Woods 11 on it. I know 480p is pretty Spartan compared to 720p, but doggone it... True View is the way I want to play this game. Either way, I'll have to be buying a PS3 or a Wii to play Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11 this year.

Re: Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 11 Demo Available Now, Post Impressions Here

haven't owned a TW game is over 3 years so picking this one up, especially with the addition of the Ryder Cup, is a no brainer for me.

My only complaint is the camera with True Aim. I want it to follow the ball, not show a trail and be from my vantage point. True Aim is a very welcomed addition, but why they chose to limit the camera options is disappointing.

Re: Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 11 Demo Available Now, Post Impressions Here

After spending a little more time with True Aim it's starting to grow on me. I'm one of the many tour pro players who have been hoping for more realistic, less gimmicky, gameplay so this is a much appreciated option. A couple of things I'd like to see changed:

1. Provide not only the carry distance but total distance for each club on the HUD. I can't find total distances anywhere, unless I'm missing them.

2. Display the yardage left to the pin after each shot on the HUD. I know you can find this by zooming to the yardage markers, but it would be handy to have this readily available. It also is a little tough to read the yardages on the green through the green grid. (BTW - I really like the ability to pull up the hole layout directly from the HUD, but it would be even better if it showed your current position like the PC version used to do).

3. After hitting the shot and holding the camera view on the ball flight for a few seconds, switch to a follow-cam at the conclusion of the shot to more easily see where it ended up. I know, this takes a step back from true-aim realism, but I think it would improve the gameplay. At least make it an option.

I think True Aim plus the new attribute building system could breath life back into the career mode, assuming the scoring can be kept realistic on Tour Pro mode. While I may not love all the changes, overall I'm glad to see EA putting the effort into the game and at least trying to improve based on the community's feedback.

Re: Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 11 Demo Available Now, Post Impressions Here

So.. Has it been confirmed that the textures on the PS3 demo are low res on purpose or not? I cant tell much of a difference on videos I have looked at either.

My guess is "yes" for the demo if you judge by these screenshots:

Re: Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 11 Demo Available Now, Post Impressions Here

Great pics. Looking forward to getting it in 16 days.

I cannot wait for Cameron to come back on Monday to hear what else he has to say. I'll be joining the live Dev chat Tuesdat at 5pm, so I can see what other people are saying. The only question I'll probably ask is will DLC be able to be used in create a course. Also I can ask why are courses that are not used on the PGA Tour, placed on the disc, like Turnberry. But I'll ask only after I get what courses are on the disc.

we can agree to disagree on the fair thing or what we exactly classify as fair, but i will agree that as far as games go TW is prolly the most fair(you versus the course), so no need to go down that path of convo...

but my last game was TW07, and that game had a scoring issue as far as the computer scores...has this issue been fixed by EA?, or is there something that i personally can do to fix this issue if it needs to be fixed. this is the prolly the only issue that could keep me from purchasing the game.
